We received some interesting new statements today from star forward Mitch Marner, and the experts all agree.
Everything points to Marner's next team not being Toronto.
That's good news for any team looking to get their hands on Marner, especially the Montreal Canadiens, who will likely try to acquire their own version of "Artemi Panarin," just like Jeff Gorton did with the New York Rangers.
Now that's interesting!
All signs point to it being over for Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs
Yes, the current buzz is that he just finished his final season in a Maple Leafs uniform.
Let's not forget he will be an unrestricted free agent, completely free to sign anywhere, on July 1st.
Mitch Marner, when asked about his desire to remain a Maple Leaf next year:
"I've always loved my time here.
I loved being here."
"I've always loved my time here.

When asked directly and clearly if he wants to re-sign with the Maple Leafs.. he simply responds that he loved his time in Toronto and will have to think things over with his wife (referring to Toronto in the past tense).
It looks like Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, two of the few who have the necessary salary cap space, may very well try their luck with star forward Mitch Marner.
