What's drawing the most attention in Toronto's media circus right now is, in fact, the future of Mitch Marner.
He was booed by Leafs fans at the end of the last game against
the Panthers, and let's just say he was rather vague about his future in Toronto.
"I don't have a clear idea about that at the moment. I mean, I'm pretty devastated by what just happened."
- Mitch Marner
If the current trend continues, it's very likely that Marner will test free agency on July 1st, and the RDS website tried to predict the next destination for the right winger who recorded 102 points in the regular season.
Bleacher Report echoes the same message.
Clearly, the Canadiens appear to be on the list of teams with a real shot at acquiring Mitch Marner.
What stands out when looking at the five teams is that none of them are currently Stanley Cup contenders.
One can assume the Blackhawks want to surround
Connor Bedard with a top-tier winger, and the arrival of Marner in Chicago would give a significant boost to the team's stalled rebuild.
As for the Montreal Canadiens, he would be an incredible linemate for
Ivan Demidov and would massively energize
Martin St-Louis' second line.
And in your opinion, where will Marner end up this summer?
