Mitch Marner linked to central division team after key player suffers injury
The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't completely closed the door on a Mitch Marner trade, and a recent injury could open up the possibility of a trade with the Blues. For months now, all of the speculation in Toronto has been about a Mitch Marner trade, and while new Head Coach Craig Berube has continued to support No. 16 as a Maple Leaf, the possibility of a trade isn't off the table yet.

Blues’ Forward Group in 2024-25 Will Be Far More Balanced
The St. Louis Blues haven’t made any major moves this summer, but they’ve improved the forward depth and overall group for the 2024-25 season with a couple of trades.

But he has also made some plays around the fringes that could hint at his plans for the team in 2024-25.

It might feel early to be talking about the deadline, but for a team that seems to be in rebuilding move, these two additions could be shrewd moves to build a better future for the franchise.
