Mitchell Marner (A+)
My boy.
I remember watching Marner in Juniors before he was drafted and got excited at the thought of him being a Leaf.
Then he was drafted and we all had to patiently wait until he got some ice time.
Well, people thought his size would be an issue.
Wrong, just wrong.
This kid is special and is so good with the puck, it’s not even funny.
In 77 games played, he scored 19 goals and 61 points.
Ya, three games less than Nylander and he still amassed the same point total. That’s no knock on the other guy, though.

All I’m saying is maybe size doesn’t play that much of a factor when you’re this good.
Don’t forget the records he broke and the Rookie of the Month honor bestowed upon him.
