Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner is likely to leave in free agency, and a new report suggests the falling out with the Leafs franchise was inevitable.
Mitch Marner and the Maple Leafs are on the outs, and everyone can see it coming from a mile away. Although Marner has yet to make an official decision, the fans can guess where things are going.
Overall, it is sad to see the proliferation of the relationship between the superstar winger and his team. However, we could have seen it coming from a mile away, given recent events.
The playoff failures have taken their toll, and the criticism from fans and the media has also made things tough on Marner. That said, it seems like the forward and the front office don't get along much either.
Why is Mitch Marner leaving Toronto?
In fact, a new report from James Mirtle of The Athletic suggests that Marner is done with being a Leaf and that if he could leave today, he would.
The common thread here is that the relationship between the organization and Marner has devolved into a bitter feud. Neither side is happy, and for all intents and purposes, Marner isn't happy being a Leaf anymore.
Not to mention, he seems to feel disrespected by all of the playoff criticism. As Mirtle describes, Marner doesn't like taking all the blame when there is plenty of blame to go around.
- Marner's camp has been distancing themselves from the team since the end of Game 7.
- Describes the relationship between Marner and the Leafs as really bad.
- Doesn't think Marner wants anything to do with the organization anymore.
- From talking to people around the team, Mirtle says «he's over it» is a good way to describe how Marner feels about being a Leaf.
- The sense from Marner's camp is that he's taken too much of the blame for the team's lack of success.

With free agency coming up on July 1st, it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point that Marner is going to be leaving. This report from Mirtle pretty well seals the deal.
At the end of the day, everyone saw this coming, and you can't get mad now. Both sides need a change of pace.
Hopefully, Marner does right by the franchise on the way out the door.
