They will either keep him or find a hockey trade with a team he will waive for.

I don’t think a contender is the likely landing spot for Marner. Are there any who have the cap space or assets to add a player like Marner without sending a comparable player back?
I think he’s more likely to land on a team that’s making a push to become a playoff team, or a contender. But not a team that already is.
