The Toronto Maple Leafs are still open to a Mitch Marner trade, and with Torey Krug's recent injury, the St. Louis Blues might become a potential trade partner.
In Toronto, there's been constant talk about trading Marner. While new Head Coach Craig Berube supports keeping him, the possibility of a trade remains. Krug's injury creates cap space for the Blues, making them serious contenders for Marner.
Why Torey Krug being out indefinitely makes the Blues a legitimate player in the Mitch Marner sweepstakes
While the Blues might look for a top defender to replace Krug, The Leafs Nation suggests they could be serious contenders for Mitch Marner. With strong teams like the Predators, Stars, Jets, and Avalanche in the Central Division, the Blues aim to stay competitive. Acquiring a superstar like Marner could transform their forward lineup and impact the Western Conference.
To STL: Mitch Marner
To TOR: Brayden Schenn, Alexey Toropchenko, 2025 3rd Round Pick, 2027 2nd Round Pick
To STL: Mitch Marner, Conor Timmins
To TOR: Justin Faulk, Brandon Saad, 2025 3rd Round Pick, 2026 2nd Round Pick

While these offers might not meet Toronto's expectations, especially since Marner will be a UFA soon, any return could be beneficial. Expect the Blues to remain linked to Marner as they aim for a playoff spot.
