NHL Rumors: 3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations For Mitch Marner

The Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff run came to an end with their 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 7. Now, all eyes will be on Mitch Marner and his pending unrestricted free agency.

If the Maple Leafs and Marner decide to move on from each other this offseason, there is going to be plenty of interest in him. Due to this, let's go over three teams who could be in the mix for his services if he hits the market on July 1.

Utah Mammoth

The Mammoth would certainly be a club to keep an eye on if Marner becomes a free agent. They have been connected to him in the past, and they certainly could use a superstar forward on their first line. Thus, Marner is somebody they could make a serious push for this summer.

Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks should be gearing up for a very busy summer after not taking a step forward this campaign. Connor Bedard needs a true star to play, and Chicago bringing in Marner would give them just that. Marner's playmaking ability could make him a great fit to play with Bedard, who has the tools to blossom into an elite scorer.

Carolina Hurricanes

The Hurricanes' interest in Marner is no secret, and they should be all over him if he becomes a free agent this offseason. Bringing in Marner would give them another star talent in their core, and he could work incredibly well on a line with Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov.
