Today there has been a lot of smoke around the league with free agency just around the corner.
Multiple signings and trades have taken place, and now Mitch Marner was just involved in one as well.
Marner traded to Vegas
According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Toronto Maple Leafs ended up signing Mitch Marner to a contract and then traded him to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Chris Johnston revealed that Marner signed an eight-year, $12 million contract in part of a sign-and-trade:
Mitch Marner gets an eight-year contract carrying a $12M AAV with #VGK as part of the sign-and-trade with Toronto.
At this point, it's unclear what the return is for Marner.
The Boston Bruins were a team that were heavily linked to Mitch Marner had he hit free agency tomorrow.
If he did hit the open market, there is no doubt that Don Sweeney would have at least poked around at him.
Especially considering the Bruins are trying to retool and be better next year.
Stay tuned for updates.
