NHL Rumors: Could Mitch Marner’s Future with the Maple Leafs Hinge on This Season’s Playoff Fate?
Here’s the deal: Mitch Marner’s contract saga with the Toronto Maple Leafs keeps spinning into a kind of perfect storm—and if Game 6 ends in defeat, it’s a one-way ticket out the door for Marner, without the Leafs getting a single thing in return. Sitting down right after Game 5, Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee didn’t hold back on their frustrations. They laid bare how this should’ve been a settled matter long ago, how the team’s hesitance to push a trade earlier might just come back to haunt them, and why hanging onto Marner now could be, well, a costly gamble that might blow up in the Leafs’ faces. The clock’s ticking—there’s no sugarcoating it—and as this situation comes to a boil, the question isn’t just about Marner anymore. It’s about how the Leafs managed to let this slide so close to the edge. Intrigued?
