Mitch Marner Just Confirmed the Big Rumor About Him and Revealed What's Next for Him

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.

Has number 16 played his final game in a Maple Leafs uniform? It sure looks that way.

Here's what he had to say on the matter last night after the team's elimination by the Florida Panthers:

Throughout his press conference, he spoke about his time with the Maple Leafs in the past tense, saying he was lucky to have played in Toronto.

He also added:

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

Also the fact that he kept getting booed by his own fans on home ice will not make him want to comeback..

This will definitely be a story to watch closely in the coming months. One thing is certain, Marner will be in extremely high demand on the free agent market. He's a 100-point NHL winger.

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.
