Former Maple Leaf Roasts Mitch Marner
It's not something you hear NHL players say about former teammates often, but he's not really saying anything that hasn't been said before by others.
Toe Drags
A former teammate of the Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner had little good to say about him in a recent appearance on the Leafs' Morning Take podcast. Jay Rosehill said he doesn't think Marner has what it takes to get to the promised land.
"For what you can get for Mitch Marner [in a trade]... he's so soft. I don't even know if he can pick up the Stanley Cup. I just don't think he can take you to the promised land. You see how beaten up the Panthers were at the end of the Finals - that's what it takes."
"I just fear that every single time, Marner is going to fall off because he wasn't willing to go to war. He's just a fresh-faced, nice kid who likes to do toe drags, but he's not going to go to war for you and I just can't picture him hoisting that Stanley Cup after being beaten up for two months." - Jay Rosehill

Rosehill
Rosehill spent four years in the Toronto Maple Leafs' system, most of it with the Marlies of the AHL. He did, however, play 72 games in the NHL with Toronto in parts of three seasons, allowing him to get a good look at the people he was playing with. Rosehill has been playing in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) in the U.K. for the past two seasons.

Mitch Marner has had 7 years to prove himself in the NHL. Everything Jay Rosehill said was accurate. Marner is a supremely skilled guy who's repeatedly disappeared when it was go-time in the playoffs.� Sergei (@berezin_goal) June 24, 2023
