"Not sure where that stuff comes from, but I don’t think he was ever thinking of leaving ahead of time," Nylander said, via NHL.com.

Nylander called him a great teammate and an incredible person. He admitted it was tough to see him leave.

"He got to pick where he went so, in that aspect, I’m happy for him," Nylander said. "We’re going to miss him a lot but that’s just the business of the sport."

The Maple Leafs will miss Marner’s scoring after his career-high 102 points. However, Nylander has faith in the new forwards that the Leafs brought.
