Jake McCabe is going to be a free agent at the end of the year, but he likely won't get to the market as both he and the Leafs have mutual interest in extending their relationship. What do you think he'll get? 

> Jake McCabe says he and the Leafs have started talking extension. Mutual interest in getting something done and he’s willing to negotiate in season. He loves it here. Leafs love his game.

Here's a transcription of Berube's presser.

A dog on a bone all the time”After day two of training camp, head coach Craig Berube discussed his first impressions of Matthew Knies, Easton Cowan, Bobby McMann, Marshall Rifai, Jake McCabe, and the Morgan Rielly-Chris Tanev pairing. 2024 Training Camp – Day Two Lines (Combined Groups 1&2) Forwards Knies – Matthews – Marner Domi – Nylander – Jarnkrok McMann – Tavares \[…\]![](https://www.mapleleafshotstove.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/MLHS-LOGO2-EMBLEM-500x500.png)Maple Leafs HotstoveMLHS Staff![](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/berube-craig-leafs-camp.jpg)](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2024/09/20/craig-berube-on-his-first-impressions-of-easton-cowan/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> I asked Knies if he and fellow Arizona linemate Matthews cross paths in summer. “I smoked him at tennis,” Knies boasted. An offended Matthews was next up and opened his remarks by saying “he’s never beaten me. I don’t know why he’d lie like that.”
