MARNER’S ULTIMATUM: Toronto Maple Leafs Star Forward Gives Team 48-Hour Deadline to Meet Contract Demands or He’s Gone!
Toronto, ON – In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NHL, Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Mitch Marner has given the team a 48-hour ultimatum to meet his contract demands or he will leave the team. According to sources close to the situation, Marner’s representatives have informed the Maple Leafs’ front office that if a deal is not reached within the next 48 hours, the star forward will begin exploring other options.
*A CONTRACT STALEMATE*
Marner, who is in the final weeks of his current deal, has been seeking a long-term contract extension with the Maple Leafs. However, negotiations between the two sides have been stalled for weeks, with Marner’s representatives seeking a deal worth upwards of $12 million per year. The Maple Leafs, however, have been hesitant to meet Marner’s demands, citing concerns about the team’s salary cap situation.
*THE CLOCK IS TICKING*
With the 48-hour deadline looming, the Maple Leafs’ front office is facing intense pressure to reach a deal with Marner. If the team is unable to meet Marner’s demands, it is likely that the star forward will become an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign with any team in the league. The prospect of losing Marner, who has been one of the team’s top players for several seasons, has sent panic throughout the Maple Leafs’ organization.
