From Eklund:

On Marner...

There is still no real progress at this point, but according to my sources the calls regarding interest in trading for Mitch have increased greatly in the past few days...Of course there are plenty of possibilities and no lack of teams interested in Marner, but when the calls start to increase you have to wonder why...Is it simply that the time is now short before the season begins or have the Leafs put out some subtle messages that they are looking at all options....

On Matthew Tkachuk....

There are many around the league who are starting to say that Tkachuk could be the first of these RFAs to sign....It sounds like a 5 years deal...more coming fro sure..
