Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri has been very adamant about just how amazing Mitch Marner is.
Recently, we reported on Kadri and his new book where he speaks on the Mike Babcock and Mitch Marner situation.
Overall, Kadri loves Marner a lot and it is clear that he wants to defend the kid from some undeserved criticism. Recently, Kadri went on The Real Kyper and Bourne Show where he spoke at length about Marner.
As you can see in the video below, Kadri had a warning for Leafs fans. Essentially, he wants them to appreciate Marner and his greatness.
Nazem Kadri on Mitch Marner
"It's a bit of touchy subject because the fans obviously have to pick somebody to get on and it's always going to be the guys making the most money. That's something I saw happen to Dion and Phil. They were always the scapegoats to anything that went wrong. I've known Mitch for a long time and I've watched him play for a long time. He's a guy I'd take on my team any day of the week. He's the heart and soul of that team and without Mitch I think things wouldn't be as good."
The mere mention of Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf is certainly going to drive the point home. These were fantastic players who did not get a proper chance with the franchise.
Fans treated them poorly on numerous occasions and it was never okay. Now the Leafs have a ton of new superstars who are very young and impressionable. Kadri just wants the fans to not make the same mistake twice.
