DENVER — Mitch Marner addressed reports the Toronto Maple Leafs asked the star winger to waive his no-movement clause and accept a trade to the Carolina Hurricanes, indicating he wasn’t surprised and that he “had a feeling something might happen.”

Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner could've gone to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday ahead of the NHL's trade deadline. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Hurricanes "initially asked" for Marner in return for the Rantanen, and although Toronto considered it, they'd rather try to sign Marner long-term.

Zeisberger, who joins co-hosts Dan Rosen and Shawn P. Roarke midway into the episode, gives some of the particulars on how the Maple Leafs asked the forward if he'd be willing to waive his no-movement clause to go to the Carolina Hurricanes in a trade for forward Mikko Rantanen.
