NHL Insider reveals that Mitch Marner might be leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs for a new team in the next season, but it sparks a divided reaction
Recently, NHL insider Andy Strickland took to X to share an update about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner.
The post read as, "Can confirm Mitch Marner will not be returning to Toronto. Will be playing for a new team come next season. #LeafsForever.”
While neither the Toronto Maple Leafs nor Mitch Marner have reacted to the speculations yet, the post sparked an uproar amongst fans as many felt it was the Leafs which was “at fault” here.
A fan commented, “Whoever he goes to. He will win a cup before the Leafs do”, while another fan joked, “"Mitch Marner: An Era Wasted" loading soon.”
A third fan wrote, “The @MapleLeafs fans really know how to ruin a good thing”, while another user wrote, “You are a sick individual If you are enjoying seeing the Maple Leafs lose Mitch Marner for free in free agency.”
A fifth fan noted, “he was my favourite player at one point… now public enemy. He will be boo’d, milked us for all our money and wouldn’t waive his NMC. Now we will understand how Islanders fans felt. Lost an elite player for nothing.”
Another user wrote, “I don't think anyone is truly surprised by this. If Marner was even thinking about staying, it went out the door after Game 7 loss to Panthers. #LeafsForever”.
The Toronto Maple Leafs recorded a pretty mixed season this year and managed to reach the playoffs. While the Toronto Maple Leafs did end up defeating the Ottawa Senators in the first round of playoffs, the team ended up losing to the Florida Panthers later.
Mitch Marner was brutally trolled when the team lost to the Florida Panthers, as he was spotted shouting at his teammates. The star player had not reacted to the trolling and has continued to maintain silence on it.
