Marner's unpredictable future in Toronto

Marner is entering the last year of his six-year, $65.41 million contract with the Leafs. His future with the team has been a topic of discussion. Despite the rumors, he is likely to stay due to his no-move clause for the 2024-25 season.

Marner had 26 goals and 59 assists in 69 games last season. He added a goal and two assists in the playoffs against the Boston Bruins.
