Video: Mitch Marner Opens Up About Leaving Maple Leafs
Leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs was not an easy decision for Mitch Marner. The star forward wound up being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights over the summer, after it was clear to Leafs' GM Brad Treliving that he wasn't interested in re-signing a long-term contract. Toronto received Nicolas Roy in the deal, and now Marner is off to a hot start with his new team. The Golden Knights are 4-0-2 through their first six games and Marner has started the season strong with his new teammates, po...
