Mitch Marner is not expected to rush into a decision when NHL free agency opens on July 1. Instead, the star forward is reportedly planning a series of one-on-one meetings with interested teams before finalizing his next move. TSN’s Darren Dreger reports that Marner may wait until mid-July to sign, giving himself time to weigh every offer.
Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights show strong interest in Mitch MarnerDespite significant cap constraints, both the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights have emerged as serious contenders for Mitch Marner’s services. Dallas has been linked repeatedly to Marner by NHL insiders, but with limited cap room, a major move would be needed. Reports suggest that a trade involving Jason Robertson could open the necessary space.
Dallas, already a top Western Conference team, would become a formidable Cup favorite with Marner in the mix. Similarly, Vegas is known for its aggressive acquisitions and could shuffle contracts to make room. Their track record of making bold, late-summer moves keeps them firmly in the conversation.
Toronto Maple Leafs shut out of Mitch Marner negotiationsThe Toronto Maple Leafs are increasingly being viewed as outsiders in their own star’s future. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Maple Leafs have attempted to engage Marner’s camp in contract talks, but those efforts have gone unanswered. It’s a strong indicator that Marner is ready to move on from his hometown team.
The Leafs’ silence on the matter only fuels speculation that their focus is no longer on retention, but on what comes next.
Mitch Marner’s next move could redefine the offseason landscapeMitch Marner’s free agency is far from a typical signing process. By delaying his decision and attracting interest from both cap-strapped contenders and rising teams, he is reshaping how elite players approach their value. Wherever he lands, the deal will not only blow up someone’s salary cap, but could blow open the Stanley Cup race too.
