With the free agent market nearly void of options two weeks into July, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers find themselves in a similar position on fixing the final needs in their rosters for the 2024-25 season.
The Rangers are still looking for a bonafide top-line right winger to deploy across Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. The Maple Leafs lack depth in their defense corps while having a surplus of forwards.
Coincidentally, both teams could be interested in moving a player that fits each other’s needs: right winger Mitch Marner of the Maple Leafs and right defenseman Jacob Trouba of the Rangers.
A Heavy Sports trade proposal would give New York the top-line forward they need in exchange for a defenseman that would slot nicely as a Leafs’ second-pair defenseman.
For this trade to happen, however, both players would need to accept the transaction. Marner has a full no-move clause baked into his contract. Meanwhile, Trouba has a 15-team no-trade list added to his contract, and he’d need to leave Toronto outside of it.
That said, both teams and players make for perfect salary and cap-space matches in the event of a trade. According to PuckPedia, a one-for-one trade would work for both franchises.
