Mitch Marner

Age: 22

Role: Right Wing on one of the 2 x First Lines the Leafs deploy

Last Season: 26 goals and 94 points, while being one of the NHL leaders in points/60.

Expectations: Sign a contract. Break 30 goals. Score over 100 points while being one of the most exciting players in the NHL.

What He Needs to Meet Expectations: All Mitch Marner needs to do to meet expectations is sign a contract.

If he and Tavares both stay healthy, you can expect another 100 points, and maybe even a scoring title – it’s not out of the question. Marner has taken a hit this summer in terms of public relations, but once he signs all will be forgiven.

He should have another excellent season and is on his way to being one of the very best players to ever suit up for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
