According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Hurricanes explored trades involving Vancouver Canucks stars J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, but ultimately pivoted at the last moment. Speaking on "The Daily Faceoff Rundown" on Monday, Frank Seravalli revealed that Carolina could also have “inquired” about Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner.

NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the New York Islanders Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines on how some teams may not be comfortable going to $100 million or more when the salary cap rises.

Asked about the state of extension talks with not only Marner but John Tavares and pending RFA Matthew Knies earlier this month, Leafs GM Brad Treliving said, “Those are things that we always are looking at and talking about and rumbling around, but nothing to report right now.”

Paul Bissonnette shared his thoughts on Mitch Marner’s future with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the latest episode of Spittin’ Chiclets on Tuesday.

As Bissonnette explained on Tuesday, the Maple Leafs should pursue the signing of new Carolina Hurricanes forward Mikko Rantanen if he gets to free agency and Toronto lets Mitch Marner walk.

Like Rantanen, Marner is UFA-eligible on July 1. Friedman pointed out Marner has a full no-movement clause whereas Rantanen had a partial no-trade. Proteau believes he'll re-sign with the Leafs.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and forward Mitch Marner reportedly have a mutual interest in a contract extension with the only obstacle being the business side of things.

The Senators recorded the go-ahead goal on a fortunate sequence. Matthew Highmore's pass behind the net hit Marner's stick. Highmore followed that by swatting the popped-up puck toward Pinto, who then scored and had his ninth goal of the season upheld after a brief review.
