Petrielli on whether there is a number where a Mitch Marner extension makes enough sense for the Leafs to keep him in the fold:

It would depend on who you ask. Most fans would probably say no. I think it has hit that point for a lot of people.

In terms of whether there is a number that makes sense — of course, there is. He is still a really good player. He is probably getting treated slightly unfairly in terms of how he seems to be wearing their playoff struggles when he has technically been more productive than both Auston Matthews and William Nylander to this point.
