There have been many rumours surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and the core 4 players and many thought that Mitch Marner may be the odd one out and traded in the off-season, but recent reports have point towards a different player.
Recent reports have suggested that instead of Marner being traded this year, it might be their captain John Tavares who gets traded in the off-season.
The Maple Leafs captain is coming up on his last year of his seven-year contract, and has revealed that he would love to continue playing for the Maple Leafs, but at the end of the day this is a business and somethings don't always go your way.
Jeff Marek reported on the Jeff Marek show that one source believes that Utah could be very interested in acquiring John Tavares.
John Tavares is still producing at a pretty good rate in his older age, having scored 29 goals and 36 assists in 80 games for the Maple Leafs, but the Leafs are trying o stay competitive and want a shot at the cup and having over $40 million tied up between 4 players doesn't help.
At the end of the day more than likely one of the core 4 players are going to be traded. The Maple Leafs have a very interesting off-season ahead of them.
