Projected Cost to Extend Mitch Marner Leaks and the Maple Leafs Should be Worried

After Auston Matthews signed a $13.5M AAV contract, questions arose regarding its impact on the NHL.

If he signed for $13.5M, what can the others get?

Friedman revealed a major prediction about Mitch Marner.

According to the renowned insider Elliotte Friedman, Mitch Marner's value will rise after Matthews' recent extension.

Friedman believes Marner will be able to ask for a significant raise when his current contract expires.

Even if Marner performs amazingly on the ice, he doesn't bring the same level of energy that propels Matthews to another level.

Paying $13 million for a guy who has never scored more than 35 goals in a season seems like a lot, honestly.

Of course, the salary cap will be higher, but it will still represent a high percentage of the team's budget.

Do you think Marner deserves to earn $13 million annually?
