The latest report regarding Mitch Marner's contract comes courtesy of former Maple Leaf Carlo Colaiacovo, who has a very interesting theory regarding the superstar.

With his six-year, $65.41 million contract set to expire on July 1, Marner has avoided in-season extension talks, despite the Maple Leafs reportedly approaching his camp for discussions, as Colaiacovo himself reported in the same podcast episode.

The Leafs' biggest move of the trade deadline was one that never ended up happening. What does that mean for the future?

Following the team’s first game after the deadline, a 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, Marner was asked directly about being a Maple Leafs player next season.

The biggest stunner of the NHL trade deadline was the Carolina Hurricanes trading Mikko Rantanen. Just weeks after picking him up from the Colorado Avalanche, they flipped him to the Dallas Stars after failed contract negotiations.
