The Carolina Hurricanes have made a serious offer for Toronto Maple Leafs' star Mitch Marner, including Martin Necas and a couple of draft picks.
Despite Necas' unhappiness with his current restricted free agent situation and a hefty asking price of $9 million, the Canes are still in talks to trade the disgruntled forward.
Im told the #Canes have sent a legit offer for #LeafsForever Marner that includes Necas as well as 3rd and 4th rd picks.
CAR actively talking with Necas, despite his displeasure with team and high asking price of 9M. #UtahHC, #Sabres, #FlyTogether, #NHLJets all in contact.
Meanwhile, Marner's camp is reportedly asking for an extension worth $13 million annually over eight years, which the Leafs aren't keen on at the moment.
#LeafsForever and Marner extension numbers at this time are pretty huge, looking like 8x13M is the asking price form the Marner camp. At this time Leafs are not happy with that.
#UtahHC #NHLJets #Canes and #Sabres all linked to Marner.
The Utah Hockey Club, Buffalo Sabres, and Winnipeg Jets are also showing interest in Marner, who is on an expiring $10.9 million contract and has been a topic of trade rumors all offseason. If GM Brad Treliving wants to get a haul back for Marner, the package is there. Now we wait to see if he will pull the trigger.
