What Is Marner’s Future?
Marner, an eight-year veteran out of Markham, Ontario, had a salary cap hit of $10.903 million in the 2023-24 season. He is entering the final year of his six-year, $65.418 million contract with the franchise, which got us thinking about where Marner could go in 2024 and beyond.
As the NHL free agent signing period began this week, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving told reporters that he would not address Marner’s future with the club. The comments came as the two sides can officially agree on a contract extension to head off potential free agency in 2025.
“No update on Mitch,” Treliving told reporters. “As I’ve said, I’m not going to do play-by-play. Mitch is a great player. We’re lucky to have him.”
At NorthStar Bets Ontario Sportsbook, the Leafs have +1600 to win the Stanley Cup next season, ranking them ninth on the board. The Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers top the list at +800 odds, followed by the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars at +1000.
Mitch Marner Next Team Odds
Right now, the odds are still in Toronto’s favor to keep Marner for 2024-25 or longer, according to our projections.
We have with the Leafs listed at -225 odds, or a 69.2% implied probability, to sign a new deal with Marner. When we last updated this story in May, Toronto had an 80% chance to keep their star. See our Toronto Maple Leafs betting guide for the best wagering tips.
The top outside contender for the veteran on our board, as of July 2, is the Las Vegas Golden Knights at +1250. The Utah Hockey Team (formerly the Arizona Coyotes) is next at +1500, followed by the Los Angeles Kings and Seattle Kraken at +2500.
With Toronto butting up against the NHL’s salary cap limit (with $83,491,449 in contracts and $547,499 remaining), it’s worth pondering whether Treliving will move on from the team’s costliest players that are on the verge of free agency.
If he does, expect a host of NHL executives to beat down the door to get their gloves on Marner. That could make next season interesting for NHL betting around Canada’s largest province.
