Craig Berube doubles down on comments made about Mitch Marner's Future

New Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube recently made waves with his remarks about coaching Mitch Marner, expressing his enthusiasm for working with the star player.

During the NHL draft a few weeks ago, Berube mentioned his excitement about coaching Marner, leading many to believe that Marner would remain a key part of the Leafs' roster and wouldn't be traded.

In a recent interview with Kevin McGran of The Star, Berube reaffirmed his earlier comments, stating that Marner would indeed be on the Leafs' roster come training camp.

While Berube's statements have reassured some fans, Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving has remained more reserved. Treliving has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors about Marner's potential trade, causing some speculation. Notably, Treliving has previously emphasized long-term contracts for players like Auston Matthews and William Nylander but has not made similar statements about Marner.

Leafs fans vividly recall Treliving's focus on securing Matthews and Nylander last season, leading to questions about Marner's long-term future with the team. Some have noted Treliving's lack of a definitive statement regarding Marner's future, suggesting that his status with the Leafs may still be in flux.

As the season progresses, it will be intriguing to see how Berube's coaching style impacts the team and whether players like Marner will thrive under his leadership. Fans will be watching closely to see if Marner feels at home with the Leafs and if he envisions himself as a long-term member of the team. The dynamic between Berube and Marner could play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Leafs' roster.
