Zeisberger, who joins co-hosts Dan Rosen and Shawn P. Roarke midway into the episode, gives some of the particulars on how the Maple Leafs asked the forward if he'd be willing to waive his no-movement clause to go to the Carolina Hurricanes in a trade for forward Mikko Rantanen.

Following the team’s first game after the deadline, a 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, Marner was asked directly about being a Maple Leafs player next season.

According to Colaiacovo, the Leafs never pursued trading Marner until Carolina’s inquiry, at which point they informed him about the trade talks — leading to reports that Marner was asked to waive his no-move clause.
