John Tavares' future is up in the air, and while he's not expected to be traded anytime soon, that could be the play given the way that Craig Berube has treated him.

This off-season, the Toronto Maple Leafs asked John Tavares to step aside as team captain, ultimately handing the reigns to Auston Matthews, and with his future beyond this season up in the air, it's created a weird atmosphere in the Maple Leafs locker room. Now, Sportsnet's Justin Bourne and Nick Kypreos have addressed his diminishing role with the Maple Leafs, and it's easy to see why he could be growing frustrated.

While a trade isn't imminent, as both reporters believe that would have happened this summer if it were to happen, but if he remains frustrated when the deadline rolls around, it would make sense if they were to draw interest in the veteran forward again.

So how does Tavares feel about being shafted as Maple Leafs captain? Publicly, everything has been very good, but with his diminishing role and frustration that a contract hasn't been signed, it's given him a major chip on his shoulder.

Ultimately, the ice time could become a big issue in Craig Berube's locker room, and while it's not that big a deal right now, if it continues, we could see this continue to be a story as the season rolls on.
