FTB: It’s two minutes to midnight for Mitch Marner and the Maple Leafs
Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty ImagesHere we are on the eve of training camp and Mitch Marner still does not have a contract. It’s already a whole big deal. Hell, it was a big deal three months ago. But now, as the Leafs fly east to Newfoundland for camp, we’ve finally reached a point where official team events will be missed by Marner. The Rock isn’t exactly a place to which one can book a last minute same day flight, even with MLSE resources. If Marner doesn’t go with them tomorrow, he’s probably missing all of it.
