There has been a lot of discussions surrounding Mitch Marner this off-season since he was nowhere to be found and the playoffs as the Leafs go bounced in the first round.
According to insider Stu Grimson, the Leafs might still look at moving Marner despite new head coach Craig Berube wanting to keep him as they could get a massive return for the forward.
"This group needs a little more sandpaper, they need more grit where their top six is concerned. You look at that list of candidates in their top six. And I go back to the Florida series, the trouble that club had with Tkachuk and Bennett, both players who, you know, factor into the top six for the Florida Panthers. I know the Leafs covet that kind of gritty presence as part of your top six, who can also generate top-end offensive numbers.
So, it may be� and please Leaf fans, don't hear me saying that Marner is the reason the Leafs have been unable to capture the Stanley Cup� but he is that one piece that may bring the added necessity as management perceives it back to the mix to get them over the hump."
Clearly Marner would be a huge addition to any team that lands him as he has proven he can be a massive producing forward during the season.
