Toronto Maple Leafs restricted free-agent forward Mitch Marner is not interested in signing for the maximum term on his next contract, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.
Marner remains committed to exploring his options with other teams if there is no agreement with Toronto, Dreger adds.
Since he is already a Leafs player, Marner would be eligible to re-sign for a maximum of eight years on his next deal, as opposed to the seven-year max if he signed with a new team.
Marner enjoyed a career year last season, leading the Maple Leafs with 94 points in 82 games.
More to come.
