It’s unofficially official boys, Marner is taking his purse and leaving town.
That’s a good move for both him and his family. There are some fans that detest him, and he would get caved in by fans and media alike if he signed a 12.5+, 8 year deal with the Leafs and failed to bring it in the playoffs again. It would also be a distraction for the rest of the team as well. Moving on from each other is good for BOTH of them. Just, as long as the Leafs spend that cap space wisely, IMO.
