Mitch Marner is the Toronto Maple Leafs best player this year, but is he more valuable than Auston Matthews?
Auston Matthews has been the poster child for the Toronto Maple Leafs throughout his young career because he’s already won a number of awards (Calder Trophy, Hart Trophy and Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard Trophy twice) but Marner is slowly creeping to his standards.
There was a lot of debate over Marner for the past few years, which was justified. The fourth overall selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft makes $10.9M which is a monster contract for a right-winger.
