A massive blockbuster trade proposal has been trending online that involves the Oilers superstar Connor McDavid and the Leafs top gun Mitch Marner. Marner's name has been floating around in trade rumors for the last two months. On the other side of the country in Edmonton, fans are well aware that McDavid has only two more years under contract with the Oilers and he's expecting a massive payday. These issues have recently led to rumors circulating online <a href='https://www.mapleleafsdaily.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/The-gap-between-Connor-McDavid-and-Mitch-Marner-is-narrowing-yes-this-is-legitimately-true' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>sending McDavid to the Leafs for Marner</a> and lots more. The mock trade that has been gaining traction online would see Mitch Marner, Matthew Knies and a first-round pick in both 2026 and 2027 sent to Edmonton in exchange solely for Connor McDavid. <q>Who wins this trade?! #LeafsForever or #LetsGoOilers</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyPatrol/status/1814449644900102511'> </a></blockquote></div> Leafs fans are hesitant to say yes right away, as they are pondering whether Matthew Knies could be a breakout superstar, and whether they would be willing to also hand over two first-round picks. On the Oilers fan base side, the question is whether a generational talent like McDavid should ever even be considered giving up in the first place, and whether the haul back from Toronto is even enough. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/451253.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> This is no doubt one of the more fascinating and unique what if trade scenarios in the NHL. It's not common to hear generational players like McDavid involved in trade rumors. No doubt, if and when players of that calibre are traded, it creates shock waves in the league for months.
