Insider Buzz: Marner's Maple Leafs Loyalty Hanging by Thin Ice – What Are His Real Options?
** NHLRumors.com transcription
James Duthie: “The likelihood of Toronto’s uncontested, 24-25 team MVP and impending UFA Mitch Marner re-signing with the Leafs? I think we’ve done this before. So it’s an update, as he’s on the verge of 100. 40% 60% 80% 100%. What are you thinking (Jeff O’Neill)?”
O’Neill: “I’m gonna say 40% and for all the people out there, that are like, ‘he’s their best player. He’s going to get 100 points. You have to bring them back.’
I’ve been saying it all year long, if the team does not have team success in the playoffs, then what’s the sense of bringing all the players back? This is nothing against Mitch Marner. He’s a fantastic player. Someone’s going to pay him, but if he can’t win, and what’s the sense of bringing everybody back?”
