Darren Dreger Drops Major Bombshell Concerning Mitch Marner After Game 7 Disaster

Mitch Marner has been one of the most egregious playoff droppers in the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and that was evident on Sunday in Game 7.

The Leafs lost to the Florida Panthers by a score of 6-1, which is absolutely unacceptable from a team that won the Atlantic Division this season.

Things were supposed to be different this time around, but they weren't. Consequently, Mitch Marner's future with the Maple Leafs is being heavily debated.

After Game 7, Darren Dreger was speaking about Mitch Marner's impending contract negotiations, and he dropped a bit of a bombshell.

Essentially, months ago, the Leafs would have been okay paying Marner $13.5 million per season. However, after last night's game, it is likely that the Leafs no longer want to do that.

Overall, the Maple Leafs front office has some massive decisions to make, and you wouldn't blame them at all if they made a real change to this team's core.

Guys like Marner and even John Tavares have not been good enough when it matters most. Having said that, we could very well see a swift change very soon.

If Marner's comments from last night mean anything, then it is likely that he is done for good with this franchise.

While Leafs fans will have mixed emotions about that, it is hard to argue that Marner absolutely, positively, needs to stay.
