I thought they were a bit top heavy where you look at this Vegas roster.

That's the one thing I'm blown away with, guys, is the depth.

to this Vegas team.

And I mean, honestly, watching Marner here in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and it's been a close watch for a lot of Leafs nation just to see how he would fare here with Vegas.

He looks free and easy.

The pressure's off.

I think the support system is there.

He can play his game and, you know, I think do a lot of the great little things that makes Mitch Marner such a dynamic player and one of the best players in the world, period.

So I think the answer is probably somewhere in between to your point where

I think you look at his time in Toronto, and I think we always have to be careful.

And I'm always curious, like talking to people stateside about what's being said about Mitch Marner.

And it's funny because a lot of it's Canadian broadcasters that are maybe not watching the Maple Leafs on a daily basis.

And I think have lost sight a bit of the narrative where the conversation up north, a lot of it is attached to Matthews, Tavares, Riley as well.

But for some reason,

People love to say that everybody's pinning everything on Mitch Marner.

That was never the case.

I think those core guys have been put together, and that was always the case in Toronto.
