"Fetching a bona fide NHL center signed for two more years at $3 million is, truthfully, a great haul at this stage of the game by Brad Treliving."
"The reality is the Matthews-Marner line outscored opponents 36-23... and they didn't exactly dominate the run of play, either."
The Toronto Maple Leafs have executed a sign-and-trade deal, sending Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights while acquiring right-shot centerman Nicolas Roy in return. Marner signs an eight-year deal at a $12 million average annual value, while the Leafs receive Roy, a solid center for two more years at $3 million. Despite not getting elite returns compared to other rumored trades, this deal is seen as a salvage effort by GM Brad Treliving, especially given Marner's nearing free agency and the Leafs’ overall strategy to reshape their roster.
