Marner Details Threats and Security Fears in 'Bittersweet' Exit From Maple Leafs to Golden Knights

He says doxxing with postgame threats pushed him to seek a calmer market for his young family.

Overview

  • Minutes after the Game 7 loss to Florida, Marner learned his home address had been posted online with hostile insinuations.
  • He says his family hired full-time security for two weeks following elimination and he worried about routine outings with his newborn.
  • Agent Darren Ferris has described further incidents, including items thrown into the yard and a death threat traced to a youth in Oakville.
  • Toronto sent Marner to Vegas in a July sign-and-trade that brought Nicolas Roy to the Leafs, with multiple outlets reporting an eight-year, $96 million deal for Marner.
  • Marner calls the move bittersweet, thanks Leafs supporters for nine seasons, and is slated to make his Toronto return on January 23, 2026.
