Toronto is kind of the perfect storm for an NHL player as far as endorsments. Big city, lots of head offices of businesses, NHL crazy.

Yeah I should have added TO. But I still think a big American market would give him higher cache. Those players have high profiles mostly BECAUSE they play in TO, not because of being top tier players. If Marner played in Edmonton no one would care and he'd probably be considered (by those outside Edmonton) to be a pretty 'meh" player as far as elites of the game go, no different than Johnny was here.
