Although Mitch Marner’s contract situation is now old news for the Toronto Maple Leafs – not really, based on how much everyone is still talking about -, says Marner’s Agent Darren Ferris that it has not damaged his working relationship with general director Brad Treliving.
In a recent interview On the 100% Hockey PodcastFerris revealed that he recently discussed one of his other customers who are currently available in Free Bureau – Matt Grzelcyk with Treliving. ‘[The relationship is] Still warm. I’ve known Brad for a while. He is a good man and he has a tough job for him. Toronto is not an easy organization to work with all the noise on the outside, but he seems to endure it. Everything is fine between us, “Ferris said.
Ferris represents three players who still without contracts for the 2025–26 season. Two of them, Vooruit Matt Nieto and Andreas Athanasiou, seem to be long recordings for the Leafs, given the internal forward depth of the organization. In the meantime, the Leafs are looking for a Puck-Mover on the Blue Line. Grezelcyk is perhaps stylistically a better fit.
Ferris did not confirm that it was Grzelcyk that he had discussed with Toronto, but he is most likely the focus of those conversations. He comes from the most productive offensive season of his career, emphasized by 40 points in 82 games. Interesting is that he is still without a deal.
The Leafs have a complete load of D-Men on the Roster for this season with Morgan Rielly, Brandon Carlo, Chris Tanev, Jake McCabe, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Simon Benoit. However, Treliving is still actively looking for improving the team. The GM noted that he will probably go to the camp with this schedule, but a PTO can be an option if Grzelcyk finds no other team who wants to give him a contract.
If it is ultimately signed, this may be because the Leafs have moved someone else or as a cost -effective depth piece. Despite the score of the On the second points under Penguins defendersHe would get little more than a third-minding role, possibly even if a seventh defender went into until the injury opened a lane for him to take more responsibility.
Although there is nothing to be, it is intriguing that Ferris has a reputation in Toronto because he does not like the fan base, but he still works actively with Treliving, which leaves no hostility for the way things ended with Marner Cloud’s judgment. If the business community is a good thing, he will work with an agent who seemed to keep it at the Leafs on behalf of his client and the former star of the team.
