Honestly I’ve seen a lot of negative feedback from Leaf fans towards Mitch Marner pretty much the entire season. I see it everywhere on the various social media platforms. As someone who really admires Mitch Marner as a player, this is hard to see. While it’s understandable given the Leafs’ struggle to find consistency in their game, I am still curious to know whether or not Mitch Marner deserves to be made the number 1 scapegoat of this team. I think it’s true that he got grossly overpaid in the off-season and probably made a few million too much plus there have been times where he really hasn’t made good decisions on the ice. However, it’s not like he hasn’t been contributing to this team. He still leads the team in points per game and would be on pace for 101 through a full season. That’s not bad at all. I get it’s been a tough season for Leaf fans but I really don’t think that Marner deserves all the blame and hateful treatment for everything he does.
