The ZSC Lions of the Swiss National League are confirming that Mitch Marner's camp has reached out to them about the possibility of the Marner training there should he miss Toronto's training camp due to a contract dispute. The team, based in Zurich, confirmed the reports in the tweet.

This situation will feel familiar to Leaf fans. William Nylander practiced with the Dornbirn Bulldogs of Austria during his lengthy contract related hold-out with Toronto last season.
In a well-timed tweet, shortly after revealing the Marner situation on Twitter, the Lions also posted a photo of fellow Maple Leaf Auston Matthews practicing with the team. Matthews decided to sign a one-year contract with the team rather than play in the US or Canada the year before he was eligible for the draft.
