Why Maple Leafs traded Mitch Marner to the Golden Knights

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Mitch Marner had a great run.

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft spent his first nine seasons with the Maple Leafs. He averaged more than a point per game, putting up 741 (221 G, 520 A) in 657 games.

That included a career-high 102 points (27/75) in 2024-25.

But when the season was over, Marner was out of his contract, and now he'll spend 2025-26 as the first season of likely many in his new home, with the Las Vegas Golden Knights .

The Maple Leafs and Golden Knights both open their seasons Wednesday night. Marner will don a different uniform for the first time, trying to bring glory back to Vegas while Toronto tries to reboot without its top two-way forward.
