Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs have had their say on several issues the team faces over the offseason, and some of the results are surprising.

Just under 65 percent of those who responded said it was time to cut Marner loose.

“What best describes your feelings about Mitch Marner‘s future?

A breakup is required. He should not be retained. (64.48%, 374 votes)
Try to keep him. The core is on the cusp of breaking through. (35.52%, 206 votes)”

As for other free agents, the vast majority of respondents want to keep John Tavares (77 percent), but they want him to take a discount on his next deal, and agree it shouldn’t be any longer than three years.The poll confirms what many Maple Leafs fans have been feeling since the team was eliminated from the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Florida Panthers, and it seems a breakup with Marner is inevitable at this point.

At the same time, losing a name like Marner means Leafs GM Brad Treliving will have a big hole to fill in the lineup, and there are likely several teams in line to throw money at names like Bennett and Marchand, creating a bidding war to drive up the price. Treliving has to find a balance between maintaining a competing roster, and not blowing his entire salary cap on one or two free agents.
