It appears that the Vegas Golden Knights like Mitch Marner a lot, and sources around the league are stating that a trade is getting very close.
Sources around the league seem to be in agreement with how the Mitch Marner situation is likely to play out, after weeks of speculation regarding the Leafs trading him. Now, the Vegas Golden Knights appear to be the likely destination where the Maple Leaf could be headed.
"The Leafs are counting too highly on Marner's desire to stay in Toronto. Expecting discounts that simply won't be there."
The Golden Knights have finished near the top of the league every year since they joined as an expansion club in 2017. They even won their first ever Stanley Cup in franchise history two seasons ago, and this appears to be the first off-season where there isn't as much hype in the team as there should be. Acquiring Mitch Marner could fix all that and more.
"The Knights are currently entering into the first pre-season where they are noticeably weaker than they were the year before. Marner changes all that."

Marner could soon find himself playing at "The Fortress" in Vegas, but a little more patience will be needed as both teams are still hesitant to reveal too many details on this potential trade, but it's getting close.
