Reputable source confirms Mitch Marner's fate in signing with the Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings' general manager, Steve Yzerman, and the organization are in desperate need to swing big this offseason as the team is on their eighth or ninth year in a rebuild, depending on where you mark the clock.

And considering their cap space, the organization is capable of acquiring another star or two to bolster their roster to another level.

Furthermore, the Red Wings are still viewed as an iconic Original Six franchise, even after all the losing they've endured over the past decade.

And whilst the team is in the midst of reconstructing their organization, some big names have been suggested to hit the market this offseason.

However, the biggest name on the market this summer is expected to be the Toronto Maple Leafs' forward, Mitch Marner, and new insight has unfolded, revealing this gem is most likely looking to depart elsewhere.

A notable source, The Athletic, revealed that Marner is not expected to land in Detroit this offseason:

Due to the Detroit Red Wings current positioning, many players will stray away from the organization if they are seeking any playoff hope, and Marner is a perfect example of that.

This is purely devastating for the Red Wings as they are in dire need for key-players to bolster their on-going re-build, a re-build that the team is in desperate need to complete.
