NHL Rumors: $1.4B Maple Leafs Rival Making 'Summer Push' to Sign-and-Trade Mitch Marner
- NHL insider Cam Robinson revealed that the Florida Panthers are planning a significant summer effort to acquire star forward Mitch Marner, who is expected to depart from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
- This interest arises as Marner's six-year, $65.4 million contract expires on July 1, making him a top unrestricted free agent if not extended.
- The Panthers aim to bolster their lineup with Marner's talent despite needing to sacrifice depth, while the Leafs know Marner is likely to leave after another early playoff exit.
- Marner tallied 102 points and 75 assists in 81 games last season, and Robinson noted there is "real smoke" about Florida's aggressive pursuit of him this summer.
- If Florida signs Marner, the Panthers could remain Stanley Cup contenders but must make key moves, while Toronto may explore a sign-and-trade to recoup value from his departure.
