Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner declines to answer contract questions as camp opens

TORONTO — Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner says he’s only focused on the upcoming season — and not his future.

The winger’s status, however, cast a long shadow as the club reconvened for training camp Wednesday.

Marner opened his media availability with a statement to reporters saying he wouldn’t be taking questions about his contract.

The forward from nearby Markham, Ont., is entering the final year of big-money deal signed in 2019.
