Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is speaking to the media at the end-of-year press conference, and it is here where he spoke on Mitch Marner & John Tavares.
Craig Berube is currently holding a press conference as the Toronto Maple Leafs wrapped up their season with an embarrassing loss in Game 7 against the Florida Panthers.
Overall, there are some big questions that need to be answered in the offseason. Chief among them: should Mitch Marner and John Tavares come back?
Berube was asked this question by reporters. Some may find a question like this to be a bit unfair, all things considered.
However, the head coach answered it with grace, and he also answered it pretty emphatically. As you will read below, the head coach would, indeed, like to have Marner and Tavares back.
Does Craig Berube want John Tavares and Mitch Marner back next season?
«One hundred per cent.»
«One hundred per cent.»
Of course, it is not Berube's decision. While we're sure he can have some sort of say in who his players are, Brad Treliving will have to make the final call.
Mitch Marner and John Tavares free agency
For now, it would appear as though John Tavares would like to stay. However, Marner seems like he has one foot out of the door.
Given both of these players' failures in the playoffs, it might be for the best if the team just lets them go entirely.
However, there is still a lot to be determined. If the price comes down on these guys, then perhaps a reunion is possible. If the price is too high, then they are likely gone.
It is a harsh business, but that is what comes with it. No matter what, these guys will be making millions next year, so they can't be too mad.
