Marner, who the Leafs drafted in 2015, 4th overall, had nine productive seasons in Toronto, where, as part of the so- called 'core four', this elite playmaker produced 221 goals and 741 points in 657 games until last summer when he became a Golden Knight. Following last season, Marner, who was an unrestricted free agent, took the brunt of some heavy criticism on social media from fans and different Toronto media outlets for the team's disappointing early playoff exit against the Florida Panthers. For the past several years, Marner has taken a lot of blame for the team's playoff failures, and he decided it was time to move on.

Eichel is one of the NHL's best, but is it fair to worry he won't be able to replicate that point total? The Golden Knights have a new offensive weapon in Mitch Marner. You can look at it as that's a shiny new toy to help the Eichel scoring machine, or it may disrupt or take time to develop chemistry.

In an interview with RG Media published on October 1, Misa had this to say about how Tavares influenced his game coming up through the minors: "In terms of modeling my game, I think it's a bit like John Tavares and a mix of, I want to say, Patrice Bergeron. Just two reliable centremen that are obviously incredible players, and just trying to watch them a lot and model my game after them."

Some might say that Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan is following in the same footsteps as former star Mitch Marner -- and the ex-Leaf revealed that he was talking with the young prospect all throughout last season.

Kyle Dubas, despite his departure from the Toronto Maple Leafs, showcased exceptional ability and vision, which many believe is irreplaceable for the franchise's success.

As a dad, you are always kind of on edge and thinking about things. It all worked out, which is great. We are very happy for him.
