Sportsnet's Ryan Dixon already linked the Ducks to Marner, assuming the winger gets to free agency on July 1. According to Seravalli, the club is among the few willing to push into the $15 million-per-season range to sign Marner, potentially topping at a maximum offer of seven years in term with a total value north of $100 million.

Toronto Maple Leafs considered trading Mitch Marner to Vegas Golden Knights last off-season. The deal did not materialize. This shows Toronto's willingness to make big changes after playoff failures.
