A Mason Marchment return to the Toronto Maple Leafs isn’t out of the question, but it’s not a sure thing either. Marchment was born in nearby Uxbridge, Ontario and developed in the Leafs system for five years after playing for Mississauga and Hamilton in the OHL.
It seemed like he was just given away by the Leafs in a trade for Denis Malgin. Toronto seemed to undervalue him, but it doesn’t mean that they saw no value in him at all.
Marchment may want to return to Toronto, but he may do best to try to stay with the Florida Panthers after having a breakout year with the team.
After earning close to league minimum up to this point, he’ll likely go where the money is best and the Toronto Maple Leafs won’t be willing to pay top dollar for a relatively unproven player who has only had one good NHL season.
