What Could Happen if Maple Leafs File Mitch Marner Tampering Complaint
What Could Happen if Maple Leafs File Mitch Marner Tampering Complaint originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner ends up signing with the Vegas Golden Knights as a free agent on July 1, things might get messy. Advertisement On Sunday's episode of Sportsnet's "32 Thoughts" podcast, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that the Maple Leafs are seriously considering filing a tampering complaint against Vegas. That may happen, but only if the Knights land Marner shortly after the start of free agency on Tuesday without a sign-and-trade. 'There's been some talk that if Marner goes to Vegas, the Maple Leafs will go after Vegas for tampering,' Friedman said. Friedman clarified that he has no proof of illegal contact between the sides but warned that 'teams are extremely sensitive about it,' and a few general managers believe the NHL is 'itching to try and make an example out of someone.' Advertisement The Leafs have explored a potential sign-and-trade with Vegas that could send Nicolas Roy to Toronto, according to Friedman. 'If they make a deal with Toronto and send a good player or two to Toronto, I'm betting any chance the Maple Leafs file for tampering goes away,' Friedman said. If no sign-and-trade occurs heading into the opening of the free agency and Marner signs quickly with Vegas, Toronto could argue that discussions occurred prematurely. That would be a direct violation of league rules, which prohibit contract talks with players under contract before the official start of free agency, set for noon ET on Tuesday. Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitch Marner jumps during warm-ups before a game against the Ottawa Turchiaro-Imagn Images The consequences, if tampering is proved, are severe and could impact both Marner and the Golden Knights. Advertisement According to league policy, via Sportsnet (h/t @PuckReportNHL), the Golden Knights could be fined up to $5 million, forfeit draft picks and see Marner's contract voided. The NHL could also award compensation to the Leafs, and Marner himself could face a $1 million fine or a possible suspension or expulsion from the league.

Ottawa ‘urgently seeking more information' about death of Canadian citizen in Ice custody
Authorities in Canada are seeking information about the death of a 49-year-old Canadian man who died while in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody in Florida this week. In a statement, Ice, part of the Department of Homeland Security, said Johnny Noviello, 49, died on 23 June after being found unresponsive at a federal detention center in Miami, where he was being detained 'pending removal proceedings' from the US. 'Medical staff responded immediately and began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation, automated external defibrillator shock and called 911,' Ice stated. Related: Some immigrants chose to leave the US. But is 'self-deportation' really becoming a thing? Noviello, who first entered the US in 1988 with a legal visa status and became a permanent resident (green card holder) three years later, was taken into Ice custody on 15 May. He was convicted of multiple drug charges, including racketeering and drug trafficking in Volusia county, Florida, and sentenced to 12 months in prison in 2023. On May 15, he was arrested by Ice and deemed removable from the US because of the controlled substance convictions, the statement said. Canada's foreign minister, Anita Anand, posted on X that the Canadian authorities had been notified of Noviello's death while in custody in the US and Canadian consular officials 'are urgently seeking more information from US officials'. Noviello is the ninth person to die in Ice custody this year, and the fourth to die in a Florida facility, according to the Miami Herald. 'Ice remains committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments,' the agency said in its statement, adding that 'at no time during detention is a detained illegal alien denied emergent care'. The federal government can revoke green cards and deport their holders for committing certain crimes, including drug trafficking and other serious felonies. Daniel Leising, a lawyer who represented Noviello in the 2023 racketeering case involving selling opioids – oxycodone, hydromorphine and hydrocodone – in Daytona Beach, said his client 'was just working, nothing out of the ordinary, no violations, nothing else. There was nothing on my mind that would've created any circumstance where Johnny Noviello would have been a danger to anyone.' Leising told the outlet that Noviello's family said he had epilepsy and was on seizure medication and they had worked 'painstakingly to make sure that he got his meds'.
