The Four Nations tournament is unfortunately now behind us, and we have to say goodbye to the best hockey we’ve seen in a long time. We had the perfect ending with a brilliant Canadian victory in the final against the United States,

When his Canada teammates needed it the most, Mitch Marner set up the tournament-winning goal at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, finding Connor McDavid for the winner. That goal sent Canada into a frenzy, helping the nation win the first hockey best-on-best tournament since 2016.

Marner secured a huge 4 Nations victory for Canada on Wednesday, reinforcing his standing in the larger hockey universe.

Even if Marner asks for a similar percentage of the expected 2025-26 cap ($95.5 million), he'd overtake Nylander ($11.5 million AAV) in the Maple Leafs' salary table with an AAV of $12.75 million, trailing only Matthews' $13.25 million per season.

Mitch Marner hadn't celebrated a winning hockey moment for quite some time. The 27-year-old returned to Toronto on Friday, a day after assisting on Team Canada's winning goal in overtime from Connor McDavid.

I can only imagine just how cathartic the victory for Canada at the Four Nations Face-Off must have been for Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Mitch Marner. After years of failing to find success in the biggest and most important games,

Mitch Marner has returned to Toronto and is ready to use his 4 Nations Face-Off experience as a positive moving forward throughout this Maple Leafs’ season.

My, how time has changed things. Not too long ago, Toronto Maple Leafs fans were united in a few common thoughts. First, Kyle Dubas should be relieved of his duties as general manager.
