It's widely known in the hockey world that a Mitch Marner trade is anticipated this summer. Until now, the exact return has been unclear due to Marner's high salary and an upcoming bonus. According to insider David Pagnotta, the Maple Leafs are willing to take on more financially to get a bigger return from other teams.
Pagnotta also mentioned that Marner prefers to stay in Toronto and continue as a Maple Leaf. He believes that the front office will have discussions in the coming weeks to finalize their plans.
Once a decision is made, the Maple Leafs will likely begin discussions with other teams regarding Marner or start extension talks. Either way, reports will soon confirm the plan for Mitch Marner and the Maple Leafs.
