Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving hopes to re-sign UFAs Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi.
“But it has to work for them and it has to work for us,” he said. “We definitely have some issues that we need to address in the lineup. There’s a pie and there’s only so much to go.
“We have a few guys who are up. And part of this gets better, too. It’s not just a match. He’s trying to get better at this process, too. So we will see.”

Leafs GM on Mitch Marner’s guess
Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving on Mitch Marner’s projections.
“What I can say is, be very careful what you read out there. Mitch is a hell of a player. He will enter the final year of his contract. We will not comment on any players. Any business we run, we will do that between Darren Ferris and me. We will not play with it. We have to look at all ways to make our team better.
“Mitch controls the whole thing (by not trading). If there is a way to make our team better, we will do it. But we’re certainly not going to make a trade just to brag and say, ‘Look, we’re different.'”
Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: Nothing new about Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs. There is a lot of interest but he is focused on fulfilling his contract with the Leafs. Believe it or not Marner is interested in talking about an extension with the Leafs come July 1st. There is no scheduled meeting during the Audit Committee this week.
