On Monday, the hockey world exploded with the news that they had been waiting for for weeks on end.
The Vegas Golden Knights officially completed a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs that saw forward Mitch Marner head west to Sin City. Marner signed an eight-year deal worth $12 million annually, likely marking the final deal of such a duration due to the new collective bargaining agreement lowering the maximum term to seven years. The Maple Leafs received forward Nicolas Roy in the deal.
Not even 24 hours after the trade was announced, Golden Knights fans awaiting Marner’s jersey know the number he will wear for Vegas.
