Host: “A.Okay. and I we’re speaking about Biznasty dropping what would could or will not be a nugget concerning the Leafs saying that the Leafs and Mitch Marner’s camp are speaking about just a little factor referred to as a contract extension. A.Okay. is horrified by this prospect.”
A.Okay.: “I don’t imagine it. I don’t imagine it will possibly’t be true.”
Host: “You’ve, you’ve raised it beforehand stated, ‘Hey, why wouldn’t they be speaking extension? Possibly they’d be extra apt to increase him then to commerce him.’ The place are we at with this?”
NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, Minnesota Wild, and the Winnipeg Jets
Dreger: “Nicely, I believe the precise mechanics of an extension discuss are a bit untimely. I do and, and, you already know, that’s primarily based on speaking to high-level sources two days in the past, day and a half in the past in actual fact. Look, do I imagine that they’re going to have interaction in contract discussions with Marner publish July 1? After all I do. Yeah.
I imply, you already know, the situations that might play out right here, you already know, in a single, two or three, you guys can chart them as you see match. However a contract extension is without doubt one of the three situations. A commerce probably is without doubt one of the situations. Mitch Marner beginning the season, enjoying out the ultimate 12 months of his contract is one other situation.
However I can let you know with certainty that Brad Treliving and the Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t fixated on a type of three simply but. It’s too quickly for that.
However earlier than you possibly can have interaction and actually make the choice that can maintain commerce is the most suitable choice, and we all know it’s going to be delicate due to the no-move clause, however that doesn’t stop Treliving from having legit conversations with different common managers who could or could not have curiosity with you already know, within the concept of buying and selling from Marner.
Earlier than you try this, don’t it’s important to discover out what the numbers appear to be? You recognize, what’s Mitch Marner searching for when it comes to long-term contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs? And I don’t, I don’t imagine they’re there but. I actually don’t.
NHL Rumors: Mitch Marner, Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, and Trevor Zegras
However it’s, it’s one thing that has been mentioned internally. However I don’t assume they’ve gotten to some extent past possibly preliminary dialog with Darren Ferris, the place they’re truly within the, within the bolts of negotiating an extension.”
