Insane trade proposal emerges between the Bruins and Maple Leafs
The trade rumor mill this offseason has been wild, but this trade proposal has been no different.
This trade proposal from CapWages@X has the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs making a massive 1-for-1 trade involving two-star players.
Hint: It includes Mitch Marner:
CapWages proposal is wild, trading Charlie McAvoy, a top-pairing defenseman for Mitch Marner, a 95+ winger in a 1-for-1 trade.
While McAvoy was a player the Maple Leafs liked, they wouldn't pass up drafting Auston Matthews with the top pick in the 2016 NHL Draft. However, there was a time, when the Leafs were in the market for him, before he emerged as a perennial Norris Trophy candidate.
While this is an amazing idea, the Bruins would never swap McAvoy for Marner, as it would fill a need both teams need and ironically leave holes in their absence.
McAvoy's status as a top-5 defenseman in the league makes this trade a non-starter, even if the team needs scoring help.
McAvoy is too valuable, as a hard-nosed, two-way defenseman who eats minutes like Cheerios.
If the Bruins traded for Marner, who could be a cap casualty in the future, it's doubtful that McAvoy would be the one who'd be moved.
