"Very difficult, there was a couple, definitely, sleepless nights, just thinking of a massive decision, not only for me but for my family, my wife, my son as well. It was super tough, it was not an easy decision at all. Tough moments at the time, but tried to make the best move that we thought was going to best for our family going forward,"
"Definitely sleepless nights... it was not an easy decision at all."
"For Marner to leave the centre of the hockey universe, to leave the option to be heralded as one of the greatest ever players to put on the Blue and White, just to then go to a team that didn't exist a few years ago and used other team's mistakes to get them to a Stanley Cup, was predictable."
Mitch Marner endured sleepless nights while deciding to leave the Toronto Maple Leafs and prioritized his wife and son when choosing his next team. Marner framed the move to the Vegas Golden Knights as the best option for his young family and said the choice was emotionally difficult.

Many observers view the transfer as predictable because Vegas offered reduced pressure and recent success, though fan skepticism in Toronto persists.
