The Mitch Marner storyline isn’t going anywhere ahead of July 1st—and now, things just got even more interesting.
For a while, the idea of Marner landing in Montreal seemed far-fetched. Most Habs fans—and even some analysts—had written it off entirely. But that changed dramatically when NHL insider David Pagnotta entered the chat.
Pagnotta, a highly respected and well-connected voice in the hockey world, recently dropped a major nugget while speaking with Jeff Marek on The Sheet podcast.
“I think Calgary will express interest, I think the Montreal Canadiens will express interest. Whether those are environments he wants to go in and be a part of, I don’t get that sense.”

The key takeaway?
👉 “I think the Montreal Canadiens will express interest!”
That’s not just speculation—when someone like Pagnotta says it, there’s usually some real smoke behind the fire.
Why Marner Would Be a Huge Get for Montreal
If the Habs are truly in the mix, this would be a blockbuster move. Mitch Marner is a top-tier winger—just 28 years old—and has consistently produced at or near a 100-point pace over the past five seasons.
Of course, bringing in a player of his caliber won’t come cheap. The buzz is that Marner could command $13–14 million per season on his next deal.
