** NHLRumors.com transcription
Carlo Coliacovo: “TSN Hockey Insider, Darren Dreger our visitor on Leafs breakfast. And why don’t we flip this to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Darren, as a result of lots of people are connecting the Rantanen resolution made by Colorado to the pending resolution confronted by the Toronto Maple Leafs with Mitch Marner?
Now they’re completely different in that Marner has a full no-trade and Rantanen didn’t. So the Leafs can’t simply go up and commerce Mitch Marner, in the event that they even needed to. That being mentioned, I’d think about, I’m certain you’ve checked in on this, this commerce could have raised the eyebrows of Toronto Maple Leafs administration. And that, the state of affairs that they’re going through developing right here with Marner isn’t that dissimilar to that of Rantanen.

Dreger: “Nicely, it’s completely different, although, as you’ve recognized. I imply, Mitch Marher has full safety, you already know, he must waive. And I’d submit, why would he? You recognize, the place his probabilities higher probably successful a Stanley Cup? I imply, we don’t know that but, can we?
I imply, you’ll be able to take a look at latest historical past and say, ‘Okay, properly, you already know, certain, Florida. What about Vegas?’ Nicely, you already know, these groups could or will not be a participant of significance main as much as the commerce deadline.
So I don’t see it. I actually don’t. And right here’s, right here’s the primary cause why I don’t see it. I feel that Toronto very a lot desires to signal Marner and by all indications, he desires to remain and be a lifelong Toronto Maple Leaf. It’s simply the enterprise aspect is what complicates it most. However I can guarantee you one factor, if Mitch Marnerr determined right this moment, being Monday, that he needed to schedule a gathering with Brad Treliving and get the ball rolling. They get the ball rolling instantly to signal him.

So it, the rationale it raises curiosity, and I’m not speaking from Leafs administration, I’m speaking throughout the hockey world, is due to the standard of the participant.

There are some similarities, however there’s some fairly vital variations right here too.
