I mean, if one of those two guys walk in the summer, then I don’t even know. You know, giving where the leafs are and giving what the players are like, you can’t. It’s not Mitch Marner, we have a chance to win the cup. We have to risk it. This is not that year. These are not those kind of players for that either.

If you decide you want to keep them, and that is a valid reason to decide you want to keep both those guys and get them to a contract that works for everybody, then you do that before the deadline. If you can’t get that contract, than you almost have to trade them. – Mike Johnson
