The Mitch Marner-Toronto Maple Leafs saga was that of a high-stakes drama. Rumors flew around the now-Vegas Golden Knights superstar like buzzards circling a carcass in Ontario. "Is the Markham native's time with the Maple Leafs running out?" Everyone in the greater Toronto area asked.
Well, it turns out that those fears were confirmed. Kelly McCrimmon worked his magic and got the "Core Four" member for Nicolas Roy, signing him to an eight-year, $12 million AAV deal afterwards. Now? He has 10 goals and 36 assists heading into Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
