Mitch Marner’s agent, Darren Ferris, on contract negotiations: “We’ve had some very productive discussions so far… If nothing is done by the start of the season, then we’ll wait until next summer and we’ll get back at it again”

Mitch Marner said himself before the season, “I’m pretty comfortable taking on a leadership role. I feel like I can be one of those guys now in the room.” How have you seen the evolution of your client?

Ferris: He’s always been a great team guy. A lot of great goes to Mitch’s family, too. They’ve brought him up real well. The kid is a real good human being. I’m sure it comes across with some of the charity stuff he’s done this summer. His dad and him worked tirelessly on it and it was a great success.
