Report: Maple Leafs could have major competition for Mitch Marner in free agency

Rantanen was recently traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina Hurricanes, and he's expected to get a major contract in the free-agent market. As Pagnotta outlines, Utah is positioning itself as a threat for free agents with its focus on spending for a new era.
