Blackhawks Linked to Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner, But There's A Catch originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Blackhawks enter the offseason with nearly $30 million in projected cap space, according to PuckPedia, and with phenom forward Connor Bedard leading the next generation of Hawks hockey.

From Utah's need for a franchise face to Chicago's Bedard partnership opportunity, multiple teams could benefit from adding the offensive playmaker.

With that in mind, the B/R NHL writers decided to put their thinking caps on to decide which would be the best team for the playmaking forward. On March 9, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported the Carolina Hurricanes offered Mikko Rantanen to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Mitch Marner before the trade deadline.
