Earlier this afternoon, TSN’s Darren Dreger joined Leafs Lunch and proceeded to drop a significant bombshell: He expects the negations for Mitch Marner‘s new contract to extend past July 1st and, in another surprising twist, that Marner will likely meet with other NHL teams during the RFA offer sheet interview period that begins on June 26th.
Dreger says on TSN1050 that he expects Marner's camp to take negotiations beyond July 1st.
He says he expects the Marner to visit teams starting June 26 in the RFA offersheet interview period.
Dreger says the Leafs will have to make an aggressive offer: 10+,10.
