According to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff, Mitch Marner is not considering any of the six other Canadian franchises as potential landing spots if he leaves the Maple Leafs this summer.

Marner seemed OK with all of that in the early days of his Leafs career. He earned rave reviews from the Boston Bruins after his second playoff series in 2018, when he shined with nine points in a seven-game loss. He piled up 94 points, the most by a Leaf in more than 20 years, as a 21-year-old a season later.

The future of Auston Matthews’ key teammate Mitch Marner remains uncertain in Toronto, and the Los Angeles Kings have emerged as a franchise ready to pounce ahead of the 2025–26 NHL season.
