I know people will be watching Marner closely because of the Toronto history. If he has a huge Final, Leafs fans are going to argue for months about whether Toronto was the problem all along.
Which player will have the biggest impact on the 2026 Stanley Cup Final: Mitch Marner, Mark Stone, Sebastian Aho, or someone else?

Answers & Discussion
Mark Stone is exactly the kind of player who changes a Final without always being flashy. He wins battles, slows games down, frustrates top lines, and somehow ends up in every important moment.
For Carolina I think Sebastian Aho has to be the guy. The Hurricanes play such a structured team game that sometimes people forget how important he is when a tight playoff game needs one clean chance.
