Will Mitch Marner re-sign with the Maple Leafs? It's going to be one of the key summer storylines, and he recently touched on the subject in an interview.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner has the chance to become an unrestricted free agent when this year draws to a close, and how he performs in the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs could go a long way in determining his future with the club.
While Marner has been open about his desire to remain with the Maple Leafs, the raise that he's earned very well could price himself out of Toronto.
In the meantime, Marner has also been clear about how he grew up a Leafs fan as a youngster from Ontario.
Growing up in this area, I've always been a Leafs fan. I've always wanted this team to succeed and to win just to see what that would feel like fanwise. Now being part of it is very special.
It's my home. It's the place I've grown up. I've got many, many memories watching this team play Saturday night hockey with my family. Sitting there for hours watching.

Via Sportsnet's Luke Fox, Marner has a chance to not only earn a massive raise on his $10.9 AAV (average annual value), but also even become the highest-paid player in the NHL
Marner had previously expressed a desire to re-sign, yet he has rebuffed the Leafs' attempts to negotiate in-season and has now positioned himself to take a run at not only becoming the NHL's highest-paid winger but highest-paid player.
If he tests the market.

Leafs fans, will Marner and GM Brad Treliving be able to hammer out an agreement that not only both sides feel is fair but keeps him a member of the club for the remainder of his career?
