5 reasons why Maple Leafs will be just fine without Mitch Marner
Briefly

General Manager Brad Treliving has strategically prepared the Toronto Maple Leafs for the upcoming 2025-2026 season by re-signing key players, including John Tavares and Matthew Knies. Significant trades included acquiring Matias Maccelli, Henry Thrun, and Dakota Joshua, along with the high-profile sign-and-trade of Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights. While Marner's exit creates a gap in the Leafs' lineup, the team remains optimistic about their prospects. Key players, particularly Auston Matthews, are expected to maintain performance levels that can compensate for Marner's departure.
Auston Matthews is the NHL's best goal scorer and has scored more goals than any other player since he entered the league. Despite a career-low 33 goals in the 2024-2025 season, he remains a core asset.
Matthews' shooting percentage of 12.6 during last season was the second-lowest of his career, yet he has a franchise-record of 69 goals from the 2023-2024 season scored with different linemates.
