With everyone wondering what will happen in Toronto regarding Mitch Marner and the future of the Core Four, we're bound to see a lot of rumors.
According to a new report, many teams could be interested in getting him, including the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Islanders, led by former Leafs GMs Kyle Dubas and Lou Lamoriello.
Marner isn't just a good player, he's the kind of guy you want in your locker room. Who's better placed to appreciate his talents and what he brings to the table than people who worked closely with him?
The Islanders have been needing to add talent on their top six for years. Marner could be the missing piece that helps them reach their goal of winning the Stanley Cup.
As for the Penguins, they've surprisingly failed to qualify for the playoffs this season, despite major changes last summer. If Crosby, Malkin and Letang want to win one last Stanley Cup, Dubas will need to help them by adding talent to the roster.
With Brad Treliving and the Leafs looking for top defensemen, both the Isles and the Pens could be in a great position to make a deal for Marner.
