Where is Mitch Marner going to play?
On the one hand, he’s listed as 5’11”, 160 lbs by the Maple Leafs. That is, comparatively, tiny. Very few players of that size play in the NHL on the regular basis.
On the other hand, isn’t Marner special enough to have earned the distinction? He was taken fourth overall for a reason. And just this past season, he not only scored 116 points in just 57 games, third in OHL scoring, but he also had 44 points in 18 playoff games, dominating the postseason.
And he won the Memorial Cup.
