Report: Maple Leafs investigated possibility of Subban trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs have investigated the possibility of whether there is a P.K. Subban trade that would make sense given the team's cap situation, sources told Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Any course of action for Toronto is reportedly dependent upon Mitch Marner's contract negotiations.

Subban, 30, has three years left on his current deal and carries a cap hit of $9 million. He's coming off the worst season of his career from a point-production standpoint but did rank in the top 40 in the NHL in terms of average ice-time in 2018-19.

Marner, a restricted free agent, isn't interested in signing for the maximum term of eight years on his next contract, TSN's Darren Dreger reported earlier Friday.
