There was a point this summer where I felt apathetic to whatever contract resolution Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs were going to agree to. That moment has passed and I am pissed off about this whole situation and I don’t think I’m the only one.
How could a person born in the GTA, grow up a Leafs fan, get drafted with a top pick to his boyhood team, lead his team in scoring, and still want to find his way out of the city he loves (and that loved him) as quickly as possible?
