Mitch Marner's magnificent honeymoon and contract priorities for Leafs GM

As NHL teams gear up for summer skating scrimmages, the Toronto Maple Leafs eagerly anticipate the return of their star winger, Mitch Marner, who came tantalizingly close to reaching 100 points last season with 30 goals and a career-high 69 assists. Marner's exceptional performance also saw him lead Toronto in two playoff series, contributing 14 points to the team's postseason success.

Unlike his linemate Auston Matthews and fellow winger William Nylander, who are approaching contract issues, Marner is not facing any immediate concerns, as he is signed for the next two seasons at a salary of $10.9 million. A no-movement clause, effective from July 1, makes it highly unlikely for him to waive his roots in Toronto, especially given his deep connections to the city and his highly successful charity foundation.

As the Maple Leafs' new general manager Brad Treliving grapples with contract negotiations, Nylander's deal is a top priority. However, discussions have been at a virtual stalemate for weeks, leaving fans and management anxious for a resolution.

As the summer scrimmages commence and training camps loom on the horizon, Leafs Nation eagerly awaits Mitch Marner's return from his enchanting honeymoon in Mykonos, Greece, hoping to witness another stellar season from the crafty winger and his dynamic contributions to the team's success.
