From Toronto to Vegas: Mitch Marner's Return to Scotiabank Arena
Mitch Marner is gearing up for a return to Toronto as the Vegas Golden Knights face off against the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. The Thornhill, Ont., native was a fan of the Maple Leafs growing up and was drafted by the team in 2015. Despite his regular-season success with Toronto, Marner faced criticism for the team's playoff shortcomings. Last summer, he signed an eight-year, US$96-million extension with the Golden Knights in a sign-and-trade deal that sent him to Vegas. Marner's departure from Toronto was met with mixed reactions, with some fans still holding onto the disappointment of past playoff performances. Despite his impressive regular-season stats, Marner's playoff performances were often under scrutiny, leading to criticism of his overall impact on the team.
