The Vegas Golden Knights are acquiring star forward Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a sign-and-trade, The Athletic and TSN reported Monday.
Marner is signing an eight-year, $96 million contract ($12 million average annual value) with Toronto as part of the move. The Leafs were the only team that could sign the pending unrestricted free agent to an eight-year pact.
It was not yet known what the Maple Leafs would get in return in the trade.
