Stop the presses, Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner is targeted for offer sheets this summer, or so we’re told. Wait, this is hardly news. To an extent, this is recycled news. It’s something that keeps the media going, something that is always “talked about” when a team needs to resign a talented RFA, especially when its the Toronto Maple Leafs
In a lesser extent, William Nylander was supposedly targeted as well and as we all now know; it did not happen.
It didn’t happen then, it will not happen now.
Mitch Marner is a hometown kid living out his childhood dream, he won’t risk that by signing an offer sheet, so why bother offering it at all?
