Josh Beneteau of Sportsnet: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas met with Mitch Marner‘s agent before the Leafs game against the New Jersey Devils on December 18th. Ferris is also expected to be in Toronto this weekend.
Chris Johnston on Headlines added that he doesn’t believe Marner wants to sign an extension during the season.
“While I believe the dialogue is positive, I’m still not convinced Mitch Marner wants to do a deal in season,” Johnston said. “I believe he’s still waiting for Auston Matthews but the dialogue has accelerated since Kyle Dubas met the media this week.
