Mitch Marner's dad, Paul Marner, has consistently been criticized for the way he hovered over his son's career while he was with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

If you are a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, then you unfortunately know just how dramatic Paul Marner was when his son played for the franchise.
During contract negotiations, it always felt like the family patriarch was somewhere plotting away. Whether it be comments to the media or various other tactics, Paul Marner and agent Darren Ferris were not well-liked by fans, nor the Leafs' front office.
There are some now-infamous videos of the man watching his son's Leafs games, where he looked visibly upset when other guys scored big goals. Not to mention, he always seemed annoyed that the superstar winger was never considered for the Leafs' captaincy.

Paul Marner doesn't seem happy in Las Vegas

With Mitch Marner now playing for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, you would think that Paul would be happier. After all, his son is playing for a team that has a better chance of winning a Stanley Cup. Not to mention, it's a better climate, a cheaper city, and Marner is making more money.
However, none of these factors could stop Marner's father from looking absolutely miserable on Tuesday as the forward was introduced to the Las Vegas media.
In a now-viral image, which can be found below, Paul Marner was handed a Golden Knights jersey, and he had the look of someone who didn't want to be there.
If Marner isn't happy now, he will likely never be happy. But at the end of the day, he is no longer the problem of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Instead, the Golden Knights franchise will have to deal with him and his potential antics. Thankfully for them, the forward is locked up for eight seasons.
Despite all of the drama, we do wish Marner the best of luck with his brand-new team.
The player himself seems pretty happy about how things have turned out, and that is all that should really matter.
