I AM LEAVING: Maple leafs star forward Mitchell Marner accept a deal of $170 Million to leave…
We all know what a good hockey player Mitch Marner is.
That said…
We know that in Toronto, there could be major changes this summer. And Marner’s name comes up a lot in discussions, because the Leafs could decide to break up the Core 4 by trading him for big money.
But now, according to the latest news, the plan to trade Marner has backfired. I say that because, according to Elliotte Friedman, the Leafs are about to make him a new offer.
That’s what the Sportsnet tipster thinks, at least. It would be quite a turnaround, but we also agree that it’s possible.
After all, even though Marner found himself at the center of criticism after the Leafs’ loss to the Bruins, we’re talking about a guy who can help any NHL club offensively.
We’re not talking about a cauldron on the ice.
That remains to be seen, but the Leafs (in my opinion) will have to act quickly on the matter to avoid creating any additional distractions.
Especially with the market in Toronto.
After another disappointing Round 1 exit, the Toronto Maple Leafs don’t seem content with running it back.
Just how bold is management willing to go? That’s the big question. Team president Brendan Shanahan said “everything is on the table” back in May — and “everything” could include shaking up their core.
