The NHL announced its 32-team nominees for the 2024-25 King Clancy Memorial Trophy on Tuesday, and representing the Toronto Maple Leafs is star winger Mitch Marner.
If he wins the award, Marner would join Curtis Joseph (1999-2000) as the only other Maple Leaf to win the trophy in franchise history. His most recent nomination is the second of his nine-year NHL career, with the last nod coming during the 2019-20 season at just 23 years old.
