"The biggest offseason contract talk at the moment involves Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner. Even with unrestricted free agents like Erik Karlsson, Sergei Bobrovsky, Artemi Panarin and Matt Duchene available, all the focus at the moment is on restricted free agent Mitch Marner.

Former NHLer and current NBC analyst Jeremy Roenick was recently asked about the Marner contract and said some of the numbers he's hearing is the "dumbest thing he's ever heard". Roenick went on to say that Marner hasn't won a cup and isn't a goal scorer and would only pay him $8.75-9million a year on a 8 year deal.
