It seems like the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be losing star forward Mitch Marner which could be huge news for the Boston Bruins especially after he just knocked off six teams from his free agency list.
All signs are pointing to Mitch Marner hitting the free agency market after his latest comments during the Maple Leafs end of season press conference. A recent announcement confirmed that Marner does not plan to return to a Canadian team.
Marner spent nearly a decade with the Toronto Maple Leafs and they failed to get father than the second-round of the playoffs, and now it seems like Marner has had enough.
If he does hit the free agent market, he is in for a nice new contract especially after posting 102-points this season. There have been reports that multiple teams are interested in Marner, but he doesn't seem interested in going to another Canadian market.
Teams South of the border that have the cap space are going to be jumping all over this.
Marner Eliminates Six Teams From Free Agent List
NHL insider Anthony DiMarco stated that the Flames have been kicking tires on Marner, but dropped a shocking statement regarding Canadian teams and Marner.
As I wrote about a few weeks back, expect the #Flames to look at all top Free Agents this summer.
One would assume that Mitch Marner will be one of them but, speaking with one executive, there is a belief that he will not want to play in Canada should he leave TO.

The Boston Bruins have had serious interest in Marner, or at least rumours have suggested that, and if this report is true, this could be huge for the organization that is looking to get better and retool to get back into the playoffs.
