The highest-profile player among those, Mitch Marner, has not said much about his future, but speculation around his next contract continues to build. Former NHL defenseman and analyst Carlo Colaiacovo added fuel to that discussion this week by stating Marner could become the league’s highest-paid player, though it may require leaving Toronto.

Players ambled in and out of the dressing room at the Maple Leafs practice facility on Tuesday, packing up sticks and equipment on the unofficial last day of the 2024-25 season. For Mitch Marner, it might have been for the last time as a Leaf.

As speculation continues over Mitch Marner’s future in Toronto, TSN’s Bryan Hayes suggested that he’s no longer certain about what will happen next. Marner, 28, completed his six-year, $65.41 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
