Despite the online noise surrounding Mitch Marner's future, the talented 24-year-old sits as a strong -400 wager to remain with the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.
Marner played a key role in the Maple Leafs’ drive to the top of the North Division standings this past season, finishing fourth in NHL scoring with 20 goals and 47 assists in 55 games. A fan favourite since being drafted fourth overall by Toronto in the 2015 NHL Draft, Marner quickly found himself the target of criticism after recording no goals and four assists during the team’s playoff series loss to the Canadiens.
Faced with the prospect of rebuilding following disappointing campaigns, the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators have emerged as the best bets to deal for Marner, joining the Vegas Golden Knights at +775. However, Marner’s hefty $10.9 million per season contract likely dampens his value on the current trade market.
