"It's unfortunate the fans ran (Mitch) Marner out of town. I mean that's a huge impact on their group,"
"He's a point per game player, that hurts. They're a great team."
"They've been working at building something really big here for awhile, and they were a different brand of hockey this year, and they're getting crucified, and I don't think it's justified just because they weren't able to do it. We're a really good and deep team too, and that's how things go sometimes."
"It was between Florida and Toronto. I never thought it was even possible to re-sign with Florida, I really didn't,"
Brad Marchand said Toronto fans unfairly targeted Mitch Marner and claimed their treatment hurt the Maple Leafs’ group. Marchand noted Marner is a point-per-game player and said losing him had a significant impact. Marchand described the intense criticism of the team as unfortunate and unjustified, saying the Leafs had been building something substantial and presented a different style of hockey. Marchand was a sought-after free agent and chose a six-year deal with the Florida Panthers after playfully engaging with Leafs speculation. Marchand acknowledged cap limitations and previously praised Toronto in earlier remarks.
