Marner looms as the pivotal figure in Toronto’s offense, his on-ice brilliance matched by a market narrative that could affect his long-term standing and fantasy value. His perceived public persona may color decisions around line placement and expectations in keeper formats.

Marner’s recent extension sets the market context for top-line wings, influencing how other teams value offensive depth and negotiations around defense-minded players and cap-friendly depth moves.

Marner projects to a big boost in Vegas alongside Eichel and Dorofeyev, with elite playmaking, strong primary assist totals, and amplified power-play output due to a new lineup that should maximize the Leafs star’s multi-cat strengths.

Marner anchors Toronto's offense; his absence or trade would free cap space and touches, potentially reshaping Robertson's opportunity window. A hypothetical move of Marner would force Leafs to recalibrate lines and PP units, impacting depth and Robertson's role.

Marner remains the Leafs’ core offensive driver. Cowan’s emergence would be weighed against Marner’s presence, potentially altering line dynamics and top-six balance as Toronto seeks to blend youth with proven scoring.
