Mitch Marner is a member of the Las Vegas Golden Knights now, although it turns out his departure from the Toronto Maple Leafs wasn't so easy after all.

Toronto Maple Leafs fans do not love Mitch Marner right now, and we doubt that is ever going to change when you consider how he left the franchise.
Right now, the forward plays for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, where he has an incredible opportunity to potentially win a Stanley Cup.
Regardless, the anger in Toronto still exists, especially with the team struggling throughout the first six games of the regular season.

Mitch Marner speaks on the Toronto Maple Leafs

Last night, Mitch Marner was on Sportsnet's After Hours with Scott Oake, where he spoke about the decision to leave Toronto for Las Vegas.
It was here that he admitted to the fact that leaving the team was one of the hardest things he ever had to do, and he couldn't sleep for days at a time.
Definitely sleepless nights... it was not an easy decision at all.
While this may soften the blow for some Maple Leafs fans, it will not take away the fact that the forward left at the first opportunity to do so.
Overall, the Mitch Marner hate in Toronto may get worse as the season goes on, especially with the forward returning to the city in January.
When that games happen, we assume some are going to misbehave and potentially throw jerseys onto the ice, which is beyond disrespectful.
Hopefully, that is not the case, and we get a fanbase that respects one of the best players to ever grace the team.
