He’s, his employer stated publicly, we’re, we intend to play out the yr. And the important thing phrase there may be intent.
The Leafs must exit and get a deal first. They should have one thing tangible that they’re prepared to do for one of many prime 15 gamers within the sport, so as to make that occur.
So till they’ve a suggestion or provides probably a number of, you already know, choices that they might current to them. There’s no motive in making an attempt to arm wrestle Mitch Marner and his camp over the clause till that occurs.”

So the Leafs bought to determine that out, have these discussions. In the event that they get one thing they assume they like, then they’ll go to Mitch and Darren and everyone there and say, ‘Alright, right here’s what we bought. What do you assume?’
