The Chicago Blackhawks intend to acquire star forward, Mitch Marner, after fall-out erupts in Toronto.
Now that the Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews have settled back to their organization following the 4 Nations Face-off, there seems to be a visible distance between the recent rivals.
Despite Marner and Matthews' recent competition to take home gold for their country, the once known duo looks as though they may be continuing to bump heads.
In a recent match-up against the Boston Bruins, Marner scored the game-winning-goal for the Maple Leafs and he completely ignored Matthews.
It was clear Matthews was looking to share the excitement with his teammate, but the once known duo didn't have the same intention.
Take a look:
However, this line eruption may just be what the Chicago Blackhawks need.
The Hawk's currently stand with the sixth-most projected cap space in the league for the 2025/26 season, with $34.6 million available.
This leaves the organization with the ability to pick up a few key-players to quicken their rebuild and the likelyhood of taking this impeccable forward to Chicago next season is high.
Insider Friedman revealed that the hawks will be going after him when he becomes a free agent this summer
Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts:
«If Rantanen hits the market, or Marner hits the market this yearI'm convinced they're going to throw a big number at them.
They tried last year with Guentzel, they didn't get him, they were disappointed, I think they go again.»

Marner's AAV with the Toronto Maple Leafs stands at $10.9 million, and although his salary may be steep, the Blackhawks have the ideal amount of cap space to bring in a star like Marner.
It may be exactly what they need.
The Blackhawks continue to adjust their favourited player, Connor Bedard's, lines way too many times, a whopping 36 different line combinations so far this season for the 19-year old.
Could taking Mitch Marner under their wing create the stability and experienced line this young superstar needs?
It might just be.
The Chicago Blackhawks need to move quick, this could be an absolute turn-around for their team.
As they are currently in the worst stage of their rebuild, hopping on players like Marner could be exceed the teams expectations for the upcoming season.
