The deal sees the Golden Knights send Nicolas Roy to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Marner, who will avoid free agency by signing an eight-year, $96 million contract in Vegas. Marner will run the Golden Knights $12 million per year, which is less than some expected him to fetch on the open market.

Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly parting ways after another early playoff exit in 2025.

The Vegas Golden Knights acquired Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade with Toronto on Monday, according to a person familiar with the move. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
