It\u2019s time for another edition of NHL <\/span>rumours<\/span>. We\u2019re almost ready for training camp and things are starting to heat up. The logjam of restricted free agents may finally be moving. The dominoes may finally be <\/span>falling<\/span> and we may get a glut of deals sooner rather than later. Today we talk about NHL <\/span>rumours<\/span> surrounding the Toronto Maple <\/a><\/span>Leafs<\/span>, <\/span>Vancouver Canucks<\/a> and Buffalo Sabres<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rumour: Could our long international nightmare in the Mitch Marner<\/a><\/strong> saga finally be over? TSN\u2019s Bob McKenzie speculated that the Leafs and Marner could work out a three-year bridge deal. He said the average value would be around $9 million or $10 million, but the interesting thing would be year three.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

…on a 3-yr, $9M AAV Marner bridge with a $12M QO in Year 4, it could actually be a 4-yr, $39M ($9.75M AAV). On a 3-yr, $10M AAV with a $13M QO in Year 4, it could actually be a 4-yr, $43M ($10.75M AAV). Either way, MM is set up to walk into UFA in 4 years.<\/p>\n
