Maple Leafs Hot Stove: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas when asked if he expects negotiations to be difficult with Mitch Marner’s camp as they are expected to be looking for money in the Auston Matthews range.
“I don’t know how they are going to go for sure. We were talking to Darren Ferris at the beginning of the season and I’ll call Darren in the coming day or so and begin to see how he would like it to proceed and how Mitch and his family would like it to proceed.
Listen, Mitch has had an excellent season and he is a massive, massive part of everything that we are doing here both in terms of his talent and ability, which has shown to be among the best in the league, and in terms of the joy and the leadership he brings to the club each day.
