## Resource

What if Mitch Marner had stayed with the Leafs? A wild “what-if” scenario explores how a blockbuster re-signing might’ve backfired—keeping Marner could’ve meant sacrificing a top draft pick, sidelining future stars like Gavin McKenna, and still leaving the team stuck in a defensive rut. Even with Marner and Matthews lighting up the scoreboard, the Leafs’ playoff hopes would’ve been a brutal grind against a stacked East—likely ending in a first-round exit. So while Marner’s loyalty might’ve felt right, the cost? A darker future for Toronto hockey. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
