New Leafs head coach Craig Berube recently expressed his enthusiasm for coaching Mitch Marner and reiterated his desire to do so.
During the recent NHL draft, Berube made some comments on his eagerness to coach Mitch Marner, leading many to believe that Marner would not be traded and that all major core players would return to Toronto for the upcoming season.
Berube recently sat down with The Star's Kevin McGran, and he re-confirmed the comments he made a few weeks ago, stating that yes Marner will be on the Leafs roster come training camp.

"(Marner is) a character guy," Berube told McGran. "He's a great person. Obviously, a great player. I'm looking forward to coaching him."
Must read on Hockey Trade Rumours
Brad Treliving, GM of the Leafs, has been ambiguous regarding the rumors about Mitch Marner. For those reading between the lines, it seems he isn't as assured about Marner's future with the team compared to Matthews or Nylander.
Last season, Leafs fans remember Treliving prioritizing long-term contracts for Matthews and Nylander, but he never made comparable commitments concerning Marner
Lots of quotes on what Treliving said about Marner today. Here's video of what he said & how he looked when he said it! Pretty standard stuff here. What I DIDN'T hear was «our priority is to keep Mitch a Leaf for a very long time!» IMO- it's on the table! #Leafs #Leafsforever
As the season progresses, if Marner remains with the Leafs, it will be intriguing to observe Berube's coaching style and whether players like Marner find it enjoyable and are inclined to commit to the Leafs for the long term.
