Following the blockbuster Mitch Marner trade with Auston Matthews’ Toronto Maple Leafs, the Vegas Golden Knights have initiated extension talks with key star center, aiming to cement their championship core.

Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs have parted ways after another early playoff exit in 2025. Marner joined the Vegas Golden Knights via a sign-and-trade on Tuesday morning, signing an eight-year deal with an average annual value of $12 million. Toronto will receive Nic Roy in a one-for-one trade for Marner.

Following the Mitch Marner trade, the Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly considering a reunion with Nazem Kadri. Despite Kadri's contentment in Calgary and his no-movement clause, sources suggest he'd be open to returning to Toronto if a deal is reached.
