This comes at a time when Leafs fans believe Marner should be focusing on training for the upcoming season. Marner's off-season antics are particularly disconcerting to supporters, given his high salary and the intense expectations surrounding his performance.
The latest off-season drama for Mitch Marner started when his wife Stephanie posted pictures of the Leafs star having fun on a Sea-Doo. This post went viral, causing a stir among fans who expected more dedication from Marner, especially as the team heads into a crucial season.
The contrast between Marner's leisure time and the work ethic of his teammate Max Domi has fueled the discontent. Recently, Domi was seen pushing himself hard in the gym, a stark contrast to Marner's Sea-Doo outing. Fans have taken to social media to highlight this disparity, emphasizing Domi's commitment compared to Marner's apparent lack of focus.
Mitch Marner is entering the final year of his contract and is expected to perform exceptionally well to secure a lucrative new deal.
With training camp approaching in about a month, Leafs fans hope Marner will shift his focus back to hockey.
Last season, Marner played 69 games, scoring 26 goals and adding 85 points. Fans are eager to see if he can build on those numbers and meet the high expectations set for him.
