Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights heating up per Insider
It appears as though the Mitch Marner to Vegas Golden Knights rumors are really heating up according to insider Eklund.
Everywhere you looked over the last few weeks, Mitch Marner was likely front and center. Sources around the league believe there is some clarity that is presenting itself in regards to this situation, and that a resolution is coming very soon.
"The Leafs are counting too highly on Marner's desire to stay in Toronto. Expecting discounts that simply won't be there."
Fans around the league have been annoyed with how good the Vegas Golden Knights have been since entering the NHL as an expansion team during the 2017-18 season. They especially weren't happy when Vegas won the Stanley Cup two seasons ago, claiming that such a new team in the league shouldn't be winning that fast.
This is the first time the Knights are showing some signs of weakness on their roster, but Mitch Marner would likely fix all of that for them.
"The Knights are currently entering into the first pre-season where they are noticeably weaker than they were the year before. Marner changes all that."
