The Maple Leafs have also reportedly traded Mitch Marner's negotiation rights to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Nic Roy, per Friedman. Marner reportedly signed an eight-year deal with the club at an AAV of $12 million.

With the help of their state not having income tax, Florida re-signed forward Brad Marchand and defenseman Aaron Ekblad on Monday, a day before the start of NHL free agency. Marchand, 37, signed a six-year contract with a $5.25 million average annual value, while Ekblad, 29, got an eight-year contract with a $6.1 million AAV.

Among wings to replace Marner, the two best candidates are Brock Boeser from the Canucks and Nikolaj Ehlers from the Jets. There's no confirmation that Toronto is linked to either, but they're the best duo remaining. The Leafs could also go after veteran Patrick Kane.
