I think it is Marner. A new boss for Shanahan who said he wants to win, rumors of changes if the Leafs lose early (and they just hired Treliving and Keefe being fired isn't enough apparently).
Watching Matthews play with Domi and Bertuzzi and seeing Marner play his soft style of game lower in the lineup it is obvious Marner does not fit with what Treliving wants. Even Nylander is more physical.
Marner is also tired of the media. I could see a Gaudreau situation for him where he gets his money and goes to a small market team without the pressure. Leafs get likely some futures back for him and use his cap to keep a competative team this season, and then spend the next year with Tavares expiring.
