It's Mitch Marner to the Golden Knights. Marner was signed by the Maple Leafs then traded to Vegas on an 8-year, $96-million contract, a $12-million AAV.
Marner, 28, had been prolific during his nine seasons with the Maple Leafs, posting 221 goals and 520 assists in 657 games, for 1.13 points per game.
The Knights, who still have over $20 million in cap space after the deal is finalized tomorrow, aren't done yet. They're rumored to be aggressively pursuing Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad.
Update: Ekblad came to an agreement to stay with the Panthers, according to Elliotte Friedman, in the range of 8 years at $6.1 million per year.
