Since the Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated last night by the Florida Panthers, the future of certain players has become a hot topic of discussion.
Among those players are, of course, forwards Mitch Marner and John Tavares, whose contracts are set to expire in 2025.
Tavares has been very clear about his intentions.
Mitch Marner, on the other hand, confirmed the rumor suggesting that his future in Toronto is uncertain.

Clearly, it seems like his time there may be coming to an end.

And despite his reputation, Marner has still recorded 63 points in 70 playoff games, including 13 points in 13 games this postseason, and 14 points in 11 games in 2023.
