SAD NEWS: Auston Matthews Ends Relationship with Toronto maple leafs Today after finding out he was….

Will Mitch Marner be traded this offseason? That’s the multi-million dollar question for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer.

But as of this writing, it appears as though the club hasn’t made up their mind one way or another.

According to TSN hockey insider Chris Johnston, the club hasn’t made up their mind one way or another on their star player despite all of the discourse surrounding the talented forward.

“The Leafs are not leaning on Mitch Marner right now.

They have not decided 100 percent they have to trade him and or that they’re going to make life uncomfortable and they’re getting the list of names.

None of that’s what’s going on,” Johnston said on his podcast on Friday.

Johnston went on to add that Marner controls the hammer here, which he does on account of having a full no-move clause in his contract.

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving agreed with that sentiment as well when speaking to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun at the NHL Combine last week.

Any deal that gets consummated would likely go under the radar and then have to be taken to Marner for the O-K.

In the meantime, it’s clear that those close to the situation haven’t been pleased about the talk surrounding Marner’s future with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman indicating that on his latest 32 Thoughts podcast.
