Sidney Crosby was seen in Toronto last night, dining at the same restaurant where Mitch Marner and Craig Berube had a discussion last week. This sighting has fueled rumors about potential trades and future team changes.
Speculation around Mitch Marner has been rampant since the Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs this year. The latest buzz started when Marner was spotted having brunch with Craig Berube at a Toronto restaurant. For many fans, this encounter suggested that Marner might be staying with the Leafs.
If fans thought that Marner's private discussion with Berube hinted at his decision to remain with the team, they might be even more excited to learn about last night's events. Sidney Crosby, a major NHL star, was also seen at the same restaurant.
No one from the Leafs was spotted with Crosby, but it's certainly possible he was there to meet someone yet to arrive or someone who had already left before he was noticed. Could Crosby have been discussing a potential trade to the Leafs? Considering the Penguins are seemingly heading into a rebuild, adding Crosby to the Leafs would not only make them instant Stanley Cup favorites but also generate one of the biggest stories in the NHL in recent years.
