What if Mitch Marner moves to the Chicago Blackhawks? Explore the possibilities as trade rumors gain momentum.<\/p>\n

\"Would<\/p>\n

As the NHL Trade Deadline approaches, one name that continues to stir the rumor mill is Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner. The $65 million right-winger is still unsure about his future in Toronto, according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. With Toronto facing salary cap struggles, a move for Marner\u2014while unlikely\u2014might not be out of the question. If the Leafs do decide to move on, the Chicago Blackhawks could be an ideal landing spot\u2014one where Marner\u2019s skill set could be maximized.<\/p>\n

What could we expect from Marner if he hypothetically found himself in the Windy City?<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Bedard Would Finally Play Alongside an Elite Playmaker<\/h2>\n

Connor Bedard is in the midst of a Blackhawks rebuild. With no real stars on the team to play alongside, Bedard is left to fend for himself and set up his own plays. The sophomore has recorded 49 points in 55 games, consisting of 16 goals and 33 assists. If the Blackhawks want to get the most out of Bedard, the least they can do is reward him with an elite playmaker.<\/p>\n

Marner is one of the best passers in the league, capable of moving the puck in the tightest of spaces. Putting Marner on the same line as Bedard will result in one of the best one-two punches in the entire league. Marner\u2019s speed will allow him to keep up with a speedy Bedard, something that the team struggles with currently.<\/p>\n

Blackhawks\u2019 Offense Will Benefit Greatly from Marner\u2019s Arrival<\/h2>\n

Outside of Bedard, the Blackhawks have struggled to maintain offensive relevancy. Over the past few seasons, Chicago has ranked near the bottom for goals scored per game, lacking both a true sniper and a playmaker. With the sniper taken care of with Bedard, all that is left is a playmaker. Marner\u2019s arrival in Chicago will quickly take care of the desert, which is the Blackhawks\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

\"Could
Mitch Marner interview Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

The team\u2019s powerplay isn\u2019t any better as their best player is Teuvo Ter\u00e4v\u00e4inen. While he is a good player, he isn\u2019t a superstar by any means. If Marner were to replace Ter\u00e4v\u00e4inen on the right side, the Blackhawks\u2019 power play wouldn\u2019t always rely on Bedard to feed himself the puck. Marner\u2019s puck skills allow him to pass the puck in a congested offensive zone without issue.<\/p>\n

Marner Will Provide Leadership to the Young Core<\/h2>\n

Another key asset that Marner would bring to the Blackhawks is leadership. Even though he is still young, he has already become a core part of the Maple Leafs leadership core, being named a team alternate captain. Marner\u2019s commitment to winning and experience in high-pressure situations would be valuable to the Blackhawks organization.<\/p>\n

Given that he would have some of the most ice time in Chicago, his leadership would always be present. The Blackhawks\u2019 squad could relate to his young and energetic personality. His ability to keep emotions tight while also demanding excellence is something good leaders possess. Marner\u2019s upbeat personality and competitiveness would help keep the team focused and motivated to play to their best. With all of these in mind, should the Blackhawks make a push for Marner this deadline?<\/p>\n
