Pierre LeBrun believes Mitch Marner will finish his contract as a Maple Leaf
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner is expected to finish his contract as an Maple Leaf according to Pierre LeBrun.
After being eliminated from the NHL playoffs in the first round once again, GM Brad Treliving made it clear that important changes will be made to the Leafs roster, and with MItch Marner's rough display, he seemed to be the odd man out. Well, that may not be the case anymore, as a Mitch Marner trade will have to rely on the transparency of the player, who holds a full no movement clause.
According to Pierre Lebrun, Mitch Marner has yet to submit a trade list with the teams he'd be willing to go to shall a trade occur.
The Toronto Native has made it clear that he intends to stay and play for his hometown team. Given his contract situation, the deck is in his favour as he is not forced to opt for a trade, and has all the leverage in dictating where he would like to go.
Despite fan speculation, Mitch Marner's camp is not pursuing trade options or contract extensions. His agent, Darren Ferris, has confirmed there are no active discussions about a potential trade or extension this summer. Instead, Marner aims to start the upcoming season and evaluate the situation as it unfolds.
Is it something the Leafs management are happy about? No, probably not, but again all the cards fall on Mitch Marner and if he wants to stay, he will stay.
