For quite some time, the story of a potential Mitch Marner extension has been a huge story in Toronto, and now with his pending free agency quickly approaching, it’s about to come to a head, one way or another.
In the midst of a career year, Marner’s value is continuing to go up, and at 27 years of age with a huge career ahead of him, the time for Marner to cash inwith a long-term deal is now.
So, what does LeBrun think the number is in Toronto? According to him, the team has a hard limit of $13 million, with the team likely happy to pay him around the $12.5 million AAV mark.
At this point in 2024/25, Marner is on track to pass 100 points for the first time in his career, and while many teammates in Toronto want him back, there will be interest around the league, and if the Leafs aren’t willing to go over $12.5 million, we may see another team swoop in and land the young star.
