HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA. Someone insisted it was not harder to play in Toronto, I believe saying it was BS. Also head so far up Mitchie’s ass he doesn’t realize Mitch had likely decided by the trade deadline he was leaving Toronto, but refused the trade since it likely involved signing an extension. (Rumour was Rantanen was ready to sign and that is why Toronto wanted him). Fair Mitch wanted to test FA and that is his right, but he also likely wanted to stick it to them because he is a baby.
It is possible that it got to the point where he was walking and there was nothing they could do. The problem is that other teams don’t let that happen. The perfect example is Rantanen himself.
