Carlo Coliacovo: “TSN Hockey Insider, Darren Dreger our visitor on Leafs breakfast. And why don’t we flip this to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Darren, as a result of lots of people are connecting the Rantanen resolution made by Colorado to the pending resolution confronted by the Toronto Maple Leafs with Mitch Marner?
Now they’re totally different in that Marner has a full no-trade and Rantanen didn’t. So the Leafs can’t simply go up and commerce Mitch Marner, in the event that they even wished to. That being stated, I’d think about, I’m certain you’ve checked in on this, this commerce could have raised the eyebrows of Toronto Maple Leafs administration. And that, the state of affairs that they’re going through developing right here with Marner isn’t that dissimilar to that of Rantanen.

So I don’t see it. I actually don’t. And right here’s, right here’s the primary motive why I don’t see it. I feel that Toronto very a lot desires to signal Marner and by all indications, he desires to remain and be a lifelong Toronto Maple Leaf. It’s simply the enterprise aspect is what complicates it most. However I can guarantee you one factor, if Mitch Marnerr determined at the moment, being Monday, that he wished to schedule a gathering with Brad Treliving and get the ball rolling. They get the ball rolling instantly to signal him.
