Mitch Marner explains the two key reasons behind his decision to leave Toronto and join the Golden Knights, just hours after finalizing a sign-and-trade worth $96 million.

The Vegas Golden Knights landed the big fish of the NHL offseason, signing star forward Mitch Marner away from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Marner was always expected to leave Toronto, and the Golden Knights were a heavy favorite to land his services.

Nicolas Roy is a solid third-line center who will help the Leafs and represents maybe the best-ever return in a sign-and-trade deal.
