Blackhawks offseason target Mitch Marner just named two teams he'd sign with right now

Mitch Marner will be the biggest name available on the free agent market if the Toronto Maple Leafs don't sign him to a contract extension before July 1st. After all that happened to him in Toronto after he got eliminated, rumors of his departure gained traction.

A rebuilding team like the Chicago Blackhawks is sure to be interested in Marner if he reaches the market.

However, is the player willing to sacrifice a few more years of his career to a rebuilding team after a tough stint with the Maple Leafs?

According to Pierre LeBrun, that doesn't seem to be the case.

The insider revealed that Marner would be interested in joining the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers, two teams with high chances of winning the Stanley Cup every year.

He also stated that the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings joined the Hawks on the list of interested teams:

Marner's situation with the Leafs reached a new level of complexity with Brad Treliving's update during today's press conference.

Indeed, the GM stated that he had a meeting with Marner, and that he will be in touch with his agent, but added that the player has a say in the process, possibly suggesting they're far from reaching a deal:

Marner is among the best players in the NHL, and signing him won't be cheap. With Matthew Knies and John Tavares looking for new contracts in Toronto as well, Treliving is in a tough spot. But his recent declaration hints at his biggest concern: Marner could walk away from the team simply because he doesn't want to be a Leaf anymore.
