One of the funniest developments of the 2017-18 season for Leafs fans has been the relationship between the Marleau family and the Leafs’ young stars.
Fans often joke about Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews being the fifth and sixth children of Patrick and Christina – a joke that was fully embraced by all parties when Christina tweeted out a photo of the whole family before Christmas. Now, she’s become the mediator in a trade proposal from one of her sons to one of the unofficially adopted sons.
Players all receive passes to get through security for bigger events like the Stadium Series that the Leafs played in Washington and Marner’s pass appears to have been taken hostage.
Obviously it’s all in good fun, but Marner was a little shook by the trade proposal.
Brody would clearly make a good GM, because no matter how unlikely a trade might be, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Taylor Hall has taught that to all NHL fans and at the very least, Brody got to rattle Marner’s cage a little bit – like any good brother should.
