Overview
- TSN's Darren Dreger suggests Mitch Marner may have played his final game for the Toronto Maple Leafs after their playoff elimination.
- Marner, 28, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 unless he agrees to an extension before then.
- The Maple Leafs are projected to have $25.7 million in cap space, but much of it is expected to address existing roster needs and restricted free agent extensions.
- League-wide interest in Marner is anticipated, with the winger potentially becoming one of the highest-paid players in the NHL.
- Sam Bennett, another top pending free agent, is unlikely to join Toronto, as he is expected to command a long-term deal and a salary increase.
