TORONTO — Mitch Marner's love for the Maple Leafs is no secret. A turbulent, rumour-filled off-season left the star winger's future with the team he grew up supporting in doubt.
A turbulent, rumour-filled off-season left the star winger's future with the team he grew up supporting in doubt.
"I've watched Mitch from afar for a long time," said Leafs head coach Craig Berube, hired in May to kick-start an organization with just one playoff series victory in the NHL's salary cap era."He's a very good two-way player, all-situational player … great teammate.Marner's output Saturday pushed him past Ron Ellis and into seventh on the Leafs' all-time scoring list with 641 points in 579 regular-season games.
The 27-year-old forward took his share of the blame for past spring failures, but the 2024 loss to the Boston Bruins in seven games saw even more fan vitriol than normal. "I can tell it's not getting to him. He's playing his game and he's on fire right now. We want to keep it that way."
