Mitch Marner: Contract Negotiations and Scotiabank Arena

mitch marner: Leafs Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly could play together for many years to come, if Matthews' talk about contract negotiations is on the mark, according to The Toronto Star. Kevin Sousa / GETTY IMAGES After Saturday's 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Scotiabank Arena, the 21-year-old all-star said he was confident that his negotiating team will find something that works, with the sides expected to meet again in Toronto this week. In the wake of Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada report that Matthews who is in the last season of his entry-level deal and Leafs management are making progress and exchanging numbers, the star centre said his focus is on keeping the core of the lineup together for several more years. One significant factor is that star winger Mitch Marner is also due for a huge new deal. Try to find something that works for both sides and obviously helps us out with that whole situation, Matthews said. Marner's camp, however, has reportedly said it doesn't want to negotiate until after the season. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
