However, ahead of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, a 'sports journalist' from the New York Herald claimed that a trade did, in fact, go down. Mitch Marner would leave Toronto to join the newly moved team.
Despite fans' excitement over this supposed deal, David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period shut it down only a few hours later. According to his report, there was no truth to the matter.
Though this seems to be a pretty open-and-shut case of disinformation, Reinhart doubled down on his assertion. He claimed he talked to all parties, ultimately stating they did not want to remove the publicity from the historic Game 7.
Given how quickly some more reliable sources shut down his claims, Reinhart is likely, at best, stretching the truth of Mitch Marner's trade to Utah HC. Yet, with trade season back on, nearly anything can happen.
