As the Maple Leafs turn the page on another disappointing season, TSN's Darren Dreger revealed they may find clarity from Mitch Marner sooner than initially expected.
Leaving the ice at the end of Game 7, Marner's demeanor conveyed a player that was playing his final game wearing a Maple Leafs jersey.
His comments at the Leafs' end-of-season media day also seemed to convey that message using past tense when speaking about his time in Toronto.
The Maple Leafs are seeking clarity from Mitch Marner in short order
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Leafs are going to sit down with Marner and his camp very soon in the hopes that Marner will provide them with an idea of what he and the Leafs' futures hold.
While the Leafs are looking for final confirmation from the former first-round pick, TSN's Darren Dreger was asked about Marner's future with the Maple Leafs during his appearance on 'Leafs Morning Take' over the weekend.
"It feels to me like he has," said Dreger when asked if Marner had played his final game for the Leafs.
Once the Leafs are given an official direction from Marner, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Leafs attempt to complete a sign-and-trade similar to the one Treliving made in 2022 that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers with a long-term extension.
