In Connor Carrick's latest podcast, the NJDevils defenceman talks to his former teammate with the MapleLeafs, Mitch Marner. Marner speaks candidly about “the list,' the contract and more. Check out the highlights ⤵️ (Via lukefoxjukebox)
The current New Jersey Devils defenceman and former Toronto Maple Leaf dropped an excellent instalment of his podcast Wednesday, interviewing good friend Mitch Marner.
Thankfully, Marner can now look back and chuckle about that incident from his rookie season in which, upon former coach Mike Babcock’s request, he ranked his fellow Leafs’ effort level, placing veterans Nazem Kadri, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak near the bottom. “You have agents for a reason. They do the dirty work. They do all the talking for you,” Marner explained. “It was about three or four days before training camp opened up, and finally I called Darren. I said, ‘All right, let’s get a meeting with Kyle. Let’s get talking. I want to talk face-to-face.’ And Kyle really wanted to do that as well.”
The RFA tried to steer clear of social media and hit them gym determined to prove doubters wrong. Training on the ice with long-time coach Rob Desveaux, he’d put so much pressure on himself that he’d get abnormally frustrated if he made a mistake in a drill.
