Maple Leafs Notes: Tavares, Marner, Matthews, Nylander

May 20, 2025 at 7:00 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 15 Comments

The head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Craig Berube, has addressed Mitch Marner and John Tavares’ upcoming unrestricted free agency. According to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun, when asked if he’d like them to return, Berube said, “100%.”

The news comes with little surprise, as few coaches would want 176 points to walk away for nothing. Still, a report from TSN’s Chris Johnston a few days ago suggested there’s no guarantee Marner will re-up with the Leafs this summer.

There’s more room for optimism when it comes to Tavares. Aside from Berube’s desire to have him back, Toronto’s former captain shared with David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period today that he believes he’ll sign a new deal with the Maple Leafs, and has already spoken briefly to General Manager Brad Treliving.

Other notes from the Maple Leafs:

  • In a vague comment passed along by Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews said he’s been dealing with a ’mystery’ injury since training camp, and it flared up throughout the regular season and playoffs. Matthews played in fewer than 70 games for the first time since the COVID-19-shortened 2020-21 NHL season, and achieved his lowest goal total since his junior campaign in 2018-19.
  • There’s a chance that host country of the 2025 IIHF World Championships, Sweden, could get a major boost to their roster before the playoff round begins. According to Chris Johnston, William Nylander is contemplating joining his home country for the remainder of the tournament. Nylander hasn’t played in the international tournament since 2022, when he scored three goals and two assists in three games.

      That delusional front office probably would if given the chance lol. But it’ll be Marner signing elsewhere to actually break up the Core Four. Unbelievable that it’s taken this long.

    Marner to the Ducks, Tavares resigns for a team-friendly discount. Leafs go after Ontario boys Bennett and Ekblad. If Matthews can be motivated/stay healthy and Stolarz and Bennett don’t kill each other, would be a better team than with Spitting Mad Mitch Marner.

    The Venn diagram of teams that can afford Marner, need Marner and where he’d want to play seems very small.

      Chicago and San Jose seem like the most desirable places based on cap situation and future outlook.

      JDGOAT Marner to San Jose as a free agent to play with all the young studs… Eklund Marner Tofoli would be a great line.
