The Vegas Golden Knights landed the big fish of the NHL offseason, signing star forward Mitch Marner away from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Marner was always expected to leave Toronto, and the Golden Knights were a heavy favorite to land his services.

After days of rumors, Vegas finalized a sign-and-trade for Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner, as first reported by TSN's Darren Dreger, pulling the winger right off the market on the eve of NHL free agency and bringing him west in a move that breaks up Toronto's core after repeated playoff failures.
