$57 million man sent to Maple Leafs in recent blockbuster trade pitch proposal

Strap up, as this proposed trade is big and involves a ton of players. If this trade were to happen in reality, it would send shock waves down the league and would be considered one of the biggest trades in NHL history.

Keller is entering the fifth season of his eight-year deal that will see him paid $57.2 million. He has picked up a solid 418 points in his 520 NHL games. Marner on the other hand, has accumulated 639 points in 576 NHL games. He is going to be a UFA at the end of next season if the Leafs don't re-sign him, and it's expected he's going to command a salary well over 10 or $11 million, and the Leafs are too cash strapped to be able to afford that. A trade here would make sense to shed dollars off the cap.

Fans of the games can continue to dream of these blockbuster trades through PuckPedia's PuckGM, and who knows, some GM's out there may be keeping a close eye on some of these proposals to give them some ideas. Crazier things have happened.
