Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving finally breaks silence and reveals his plan with star forward Mitch Marner.

Brad Treliving has finally commented on the ongoing Mitch Marner situation. NHL general managers are currently attending the draft combine, where they not only focus on upcoming prospects but also meet with agents to discuss contract extensions and potential trades.

During the combine, TSN's Pierre LeBrun spoke with Treliving, who provided an update on Marner. Treliving made it clear that Marner won't be traded without a significant return that improves the team.

"The thing I would say is, be very, very careful of what you read out there. Mitch is a hell of a player. He's going into the last year of his contract. We're not going to comment on any players. Any business that we conduct, we'll do that between Darren Ferris and us. We're not going to do play-by-play on it. We've got to look at every possible way for our team to be better."

Treliving acknowledged Marner's no-movement clause but emphasized that the goal is to improve the team.

"Mitch controls a lot of this whole thing (with the no-trade). If there's a way to make our team better, we're going to do it. But we're certainly not going to make a trade just so we can pound our chest and say, 'Look, we're different.'"

With just over three weeks remaining until the draft and under a month until the start of free agency, the Maple Leafs are heading into a crucial period as they aim to improve this summer.
