Blackhawks one of five interested in Mitch MARNER trade
As one of the most dynamic talents in the league, Marner has attracted interest from five major teams, setting the stage for a high-stakes off-season.
Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff casts doubt on Marner's future with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He suggests the odds of Marner donning the Maple Leafs jersey next season are slim.
The list of suitors includes prominent teams such as the Anaheim Ducks, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, Utah HC, and the Chicago Blackhawks. Each team brings its own set of circumstances and needs that could benefit from Marner's offensive prowess.
The Blackhawks, in particular, are looking to boost their offensive line-up. As one of the teams struggling to climb up the standings, acquiring a player of Marner's caliber could be a game-changer.
The odds of
Mitch Marner returning next year as a Leaf feel as low as 5%.
"I think there's a five percent chance or maybe even less that he'll be a Leaf next season."
However, without a No-Movement Clause (NMC) in his contract, Marner's landing spot will heavily depend on where he sees the best fit for his career aspirations and playing style.
The Islanders and Penguins also present interesting possibilities. With the Islanders just scraping into the playoffs and the Penguins missing a Wild card spot last season, both teams are on the cusp of needing that extra spark to turn their fortunes around.
