The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a primary focus this offseason: it’s to re-sign their restricted free agent, Mitch Marner. The right winger and his team have been said to be far apart in what they each deem to be fair compensation.
This sets up a scenario in which the Toronto Maple Leafs are at risk of losing their star player to an offer sheet. Reports just surfaced that Marner’s agent has been in contact with multiple teams to discuss the prospect of negotiating a compensation package. The latest of these teams is apparently the Columbus Blue Jackets.
