Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner is expected to be the biggest name on the open market this summer in the NHL. Marner is likely to garner a massive deal

If the Toronto Maple Leafs lose Marner, either through free agency or by trading his rights this summer, the team will need to seek a replacement option.

Second, the Hurricanes are a perennial playoff club, reaching the Eastern Conference Final twice in the last three seasons. Marner's two-way game would fit well within head coach Rod Brind'Amour's system, and his offensive skills would be a significant boost to their scoring punch.
