Problem in Toronto? It's Mitch Marner's fault. Or so runs public sentiment these days, anyway.
With the Maple Leafs exiting the first round of the playoffs for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, it feels likely general manager Brad Treliving will choose to break up the team's core.
Marner, 27, has been the target of most fan and media ire. And with one year left on his contract, he's the best candidate to be moved.
One wrinkle in this theory is Marner's full no-move clause (NMC), which he would need to choose to waive.
