The Vegas Golden Knights look like winners of the NHL offseason after managing to swing a sign-and-trade for Mitch Marner, who was widely viewed as the crown jewel of the players set to be available this summer.

The Vegas Golden Knights acquired Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade with Toronto on Monday, giving him an eight-year, $96 million contract, according to multiple reports. Marner, 28, will count $12 million against the salary cap through the 2032-33 season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs sent Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights in a stunning sign-and-trade deal before NHL free agency begins on Tuesday.
