Leafs GM Brad Treliving Addresses How Harsh Mitch Marner's Injury Is

The GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Brad Treliving, has revealed the severity of star forward Mitch Marner's high-ankle sprain injury.

After suffering an injury on Thursday, March 7th against the Boston Bruins, Mitch Marner has been out of the Maple Leafs lineup.

As he rehabs from a high-ankle sprain, which is known to be tedious in recovery, the Maple Leafs have continued to dominate their competition.

While their record is good, it is still no secret that they would rather have Mitch Marner on the roster.

Mitch Marner's Absence Gives Other Toronto Maple Leafs Players Bigger Opportunities

While Mitch Marner will remain in Toronto to rehab, morale is still high. The Leafs are giving players like Pontus Holmberg big opportunities, and are improving their depth ahead of the playoffs because of it.

Holmberg in particular will be seeing first-line minutes alongside Auston Matthews and Tyler Bertuzzi in the next game.

Now, Brad Treliving has addressed the Mitch Marner injury, and it gives reason for optimism.



Treliving's comments on Mitch Marner's injury lead to believe that he will not miss too much longer. With the playoffs still a month away, in all likelihood, Marner will not only have returned, but will have several games to get back up to speed.

The Maple Leafs will need all hands on deck to make a splash this year, and they have proven now that they can do incredibly well without one member of the core four. Once Marner is back, the Maple Leafs may be unstoppable.
