I'll simply repeat what the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, said. You play the regular season for your paycheck, and the playoffs for your legacy. So, according to that, Mitch's legacy is dismal.
Toronto is a toxic fan base. Kessel was run out of town as the scapegoat for a losing franchise in 2015 and won back to back cups with Pittsburgh and a bonus cup with Vegas. Marner will have his name on that cup before Matthews/Tavares/Nylander/Reilly
His play will be missed. Especially by Auston Matthews. It's going to be hard to replace a 100pt winger. It's going to look unnatural to see him in a Vegas jersey, & the fans will give him a well-deserved standing ovation
Legacy? Are you freakin' delusional? He put up good numbers in the regular season & vanished during the play-offs. Only 2 x 2nd round appearances, he was a moody lightweight when the games mattered most.
I find it difficult to believe that someone with so much skill has such little heart and soul to match it. He disappears in big moments far too often. Hopefully Vegas works out better for him
I’m really sad he left but we all saw it coming and Mitch deserves better, the media turned Mitch into a scapegoat and leaf fans jumped on the bandwagon. Mitch didn’t win a cup here because the core four made too much money and the team was top heavy plain and simple. Willy should have been traded too free money up covid killed our chances with a stale cap end of story
Its probably frustrating like negotiating through the media and "leaking" contract offers EVERY time they were negotiating…….its probably frustrating like having the GM lie straight to your face that the team doesn't give rookie contract bonuses "as a matter of principle"…….the leafs are a TRASH organization
Awful answer from Friedge. Asked about legacy and he doesn’t want to be to hard on Marner even on the way out so he ends the nothing answer with melancholy. Just say bad. Is that so hard?
Try something new ??? Same old dhit right lol im 40 years old and I swear I heard the same thing when I was 7 years old also when I was 15 years old and I also heard that same line in my twenties.. try something new it doesn't matter what the leaves do it seems like they never get to that step of winning a Stanley Cup

Legacy 😅
So close but yet so far away! and now going even deeper in the line of STANLEY CUP!

Leaf management disaster
His legacy in Toronto will be "damn we were stupid, we ran him out of town where he went and won the cup"
No leadership, lack of grit, lack of accountability, time to move on
Regular season hero
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 stupid questions as usual
😂😂 what's will the legacy of SN be by asking these stupid questions………unsubscribed

Greatest Maple Leaf ever??
Red Kelly, Davey Keon, Frank Mahovlich, Johnny Bower, Terry Sawchuk, Bob Baun, …
Check your history, champ. These all-time greats won Stanley Cups for the Toronto Maple Leafs. And all but Baun made the NHL HOF.
Even if he stayed for the rest of his career, these other superstars still top him.
Yelling at the team with bone dry hair.
Overpaid and under qualified
Dude is like a point per game player in the playoffs and people will call him a ghost. Toronto doesn’t deserve him.
A playoff bust! He folded evertime it mattered! Its not an opinion its a fact I watched happen!
Best leaf ever?! Wtf are you on Friedman
A “perfect world” is impossible in Leafs world.
Marner doesn't have the tenacity in the playoffs
Hockey logic. Draft a smaller player for his speed, skill and finesse and then ask him to be a grinder.
GL with the Marner muffins😂😂😂
By far the greatest leaf player ever
I’m really sad he left but we all saw it coming and Mitch deserves better, the media turned Mitch into a scapegoat and leaf fans jumped on the bandwagon.

Cant pin the Leafs woes on any one particular player.
Toronto is just plain toxic Mitch will do well no matter where he goes

Honestly, who cares? And what legacy? Legacies are for winners and the Leafs haven’t made it out of the second round in the past 10 years.
Lmao. Only the Leafs would do this to themselves.
He will win a cup with Vegas and the Leafs will still be Leafin…
Best Of Luck In Vegas!!!!
Try something new ??? Same old dhit right lol im 40 years old and I swear I heard the same thing when I was 7 years old also when I was 15 years old and I also heard that same line in my twenties.. try something new it doesn't matter what the leaves do it seems like they never get to that step of winning a Stanley Cup
Toronto born ? He was born in Markham lol
Top 3 leaf of all time
Its very sad and heartbreaking but its for the best
Mitch who?
