Forward Mitch Marner has officially made a free agency decision and it's confirmed

Toronto Maple Leafs pending free agent forward Mitch Marner is set to become one of the most skilled players to hit the open market in recent years, according to a latest report from TSN's Chris Johnston.

Marner isn't the only Maple Leafs forward on the verge of ditching his teammates in Toronto: John Tavares is also a free agent, and it could be another issue for the Maple Leafs.

The Florida Panthers broke the Leafs, and Marner's days in Toronto after a career best season of 102 points, tallying up 27 goals and 75 assist.

According to Johnson of TSN, Marner will be a free agent come July 1st.

Marner will reportedly still consider the Maple Leafs in his free agent search though.

Among the teams that are expected to show heavy interest in Marner are the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, Vegas Golden Knights, and Chicago Blackhawks.

Marner has even been suggested to be courted by the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators, which would be an especially strange sight considering the numerous battles that he and the Maple Leafs have had with them over the years.

If Marner does re-sign with the Maple Leafs, it would mean their management believes they can still get it done with him in the playoffs despite multiple past disappointments.
