Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner Farewell Post Backfires originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Maple Leafs officially parted ways with Mitch Marner on Tuesday, completing a sign-and-trade that sent the star right wing to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed and traded star right winger Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights Monday, ending the 100-point player's stint with the team and leaving a massive hole at a key position on the offensive side of the puck.

Marner was set to hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career after his contract with the Maple Leafs expired on June 30. Rather than hit the open market, he was dealt to Vegas in exchange for Nic Roy and proceeded to sign an eight-year contract worth $12 million per season.
