Toronto Maple Leafs forward John Tavares is in the market for a new contract, and one NHL insider has a massive update that will turn some heads.
The Leafs have a few unrestricted free agents they need to deal with this summer, including Mitch Marner and John Tavares.
Both of these players have been part of the team's core four for years, and fans are anxious about what the team will look like if they leave.
While negotiations can begin now, both players are also allowed to explore free agency as of July 1. While Tavares wants to return to the Leafs, it is theorized that Marner wants out.
Is John Tavares coming back to the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Well, a new report from The Fourth Period has all but confirmed these assumptions. Essentially, an extension for Tavares is looking very likely right now.
Meanwhile, Marner is likely going to explore free agency. However, this does not mean he is guaranteed to leave the Leafs. He's open to staying, but he wants to see what is out there.
An extension for John Tavares is looking more likely than one for Marner right now. All signs suggest Marner is headed to free agency. Although he hasn't ruled out a return to Toronto, he wants to explore his options.
This free agency period is going to be fascinating, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of decisions to make.
With general manager Brad Treliving admitting that the team needs to change its DNA, there is no telling what kind of moves this team will make.
The Leafs have had too many playoff disappointments over the years, and the fans are fed up. With that being said, the Core Four needs to eventually crumble.
While that may be tough for some fans to hear, it is the truth. Insanity is defined by doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
