After another disappointing playoff run, Mitch Marner's tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs appears uncertain, with top insiders revealing slim odds of his return next season.
The Maple Leafs' off-season has seen significant changes, including the hiring of Craig Berube as head coach. Many expect a major move involving Marner, with NHL Insider Frank Seravalli shedding light on the situation.
As an unrestricted free agent in a year, it makes sense for the Maple Leafs to consider trading Marner to address other roster needs. However, they must also navigate his no-movement clause (NMC).
Whether Marner will waive his NMC remains unclear, and it's uncertain if the team has approached him about it. Yet, indications suggest a move is likely.
Despite the speculation and negative attention, Marner remains a valuable asset for the Maple Leafs. As the off-season progresses, the situation will likely develop, potentially leading to Marner joining a new team for the 2024-25 season.
