WE HAVE A TRADE TO ANNOUNCE
Oh, dear...
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Arizona Coyotes have completed a transaction that will send
Mitch Marner and
Simon Benoit to the Desert in exchange for
Mattias Maccelli,
Juilan Lutz, a first-round pick in 2025, and Toronto's own second-round pick in 2025.
The Maple Leafs would like to thank Mitch and Simon, particularly Mitch, for his time in Toronto. Unfortunately, we reached a point where we couldn't afford to re-sign Mitch, nor could we let him walk for nothing.
Also, we would like to welcome Mattias and Julian. It's uncertain where the latter will be playing next season, but Mattias will be a big part of things with the Leafs for the coming season.
Insider note: interesting that the Maple Leafs acquired their own 2nd round pick back from the Coyotes...
Official transaction
To Arizona: Mitch Marner, Simon Benoit
To Toronto: Mattias Maccelli, Julian Lutz, 1st round pick 2025, 2nd round pick 2025 (Tor)
