Mitch Marner’s trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Vegas Golden Knights was more than just a roster change. It closed a difficult period in his personal life. The 28-year-old forward signed an eight-year, $96 million contract before the move, but what happened away from the rink shaped his exit as much as his play on the ice.In late August, Marner spoke about the pressure he faced after the Leafs’ playoff loss to the Florida Panthers. His home address was leaked online, and he received death threats. He said the situation forced him to hire private security for two weeks, which was especially hard with a newborn at home.Many supported Marner, but analyst Steve Dangle offered a different view. He called the Marner camp’s response “wildly hypocritical,” saying people close to Marner had a history of creating pressure in other ways.“It’s true that no one should have to deal with what he’s dealing with, and it would be awesome," Dangle said. "And I think a lot of people would appreciate it if they practice what they preached, because this camp has been going around for years, complaining to bosses, trying to get people fired, threatening to take away access and making people feel unsafe.”He questioned whether Marner’s silence meant approval of those actions (he listed in his July video)."Even though Marner isn't personally doing all this dirty work, is this non endorsement of the message from him, from the people around him, from his agents, is that not an endorsement of the message?" Dangle said.Brad Treliving addresses Mitch Marner’s safety concerns in TorontoOn Tuesday, in an interview with Sportsnet, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving spoke about Mitch Marner’s concerns following his time in Toronto.

With social media adding more pressure, he said the Leafs remain careful.“It’s unfortunate, but we always take every precaution necessary to make sure our guys are looked after,” he added.Treliving’s comments showed the Leafs want to protect their players while understanding the realities of today’s game.
