Mathias Brunet, during his BPM Sports podcast, proposed a bold trade involving Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner.
Assuming the Leafs will be reshaping their lineup after a playoff defeat, Brunet wonders if Hughes would trade the fifth overall pick for Marner, provided Marner waives his no-movement clause and signs with the Canadiens.
Marner, 26, tallied 85 points this season but didn't shine in the playoffs. This offer, while unlikely, raises questions about the availability of a forward of Marner's caliber and the risks associated with his high salary and playoff performance history.
