Toronto Maple Leafs: Why It’s OK to Over-Pay Mitch Marner

If you’ve been living in a cave, you might be unaware, but otherwise it won’t be news to you that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Mitch Marner are in a difficult negotiation.

The difficulty stems from the fact that Marner’s dad and agent are telling Darren Dreger that his client will try to get an offer-sheet if the Leafs don’t pay him like they paid Auston Matthews.

The problem, of course, is that Mitch Marner isn’t anywhere close to as good as Auston Matthews.

But that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get paid.
