Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving heaped praise on Mitch Marner after the trade to the Vegas Golden Knights went down.

The Maple Leafs' farewell post was immediately flooded with fan reactions, many of them skeptical about Toronto's decision of letting Marner go being a winning move by the organization. “The most dynamic player to wear the blue & white since Wendel.

Marner signed an eight-year contract extension worth an average annual value of $12 million
