NHL Free Agency 2025: Which 10 Blockbuster Contracts Are Redefining the Game?
Marner is a perennial 95-100 point player with excellent defensive ability. He’s a bona fide two-way superstar, coming off a season where he finished fifth in league scoring. He’s exactly the kind of offensive game-breaker Vegas needed to spice up its top six.
Is it fair to have some reservations about Marner’s playoff track record? Absolutely. But that’s where escaping the pressure cooker of Toronto could unlock a better version of Marner on the big stage. Remember that he was a clutch performer for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off, where he scored the overtime winner against Sweden and had the primary assist on Connor McDavid’s tournament-winning goal against the U.S. in the final. A fresh start in a quieter market where he has no baggage and will be surrounded by a core with championship pedigree could do wonders for Marner the next time he’s in the playoffs.
