Brad Treliving gave Auston Matthews a 4x$13.25M contract earlier this week. This deal makes everyone wonder: How much will other top players get now? If Matthews gets $13.25M, what will someone like Mitch Marner get? <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/302351.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> <h2>Marner's Next Contract</h2> On his podcast, Elliotte Friedman talked about how much the Toronto Maple Leafs might pay Mitch Marner. Here's what he said: <q>What is Marner's next number? Because he was the closest one to Matthews. When Matthews signed for an $11.634M AAV, all of a sudden Marner became close to an $11M player. So now that Matthews' number is $13.25M, what's Marner's number? Is it $13.249999M?</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL_Watcher/status/1694741236790268101'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>$13M for Marner?!</h2> Marner played exceptionally well last season. But will he get $13M? Some think he'll get around $11M or $12M, but not $13M. People have lots to say about this: <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/blvkeprince/status/1694741698885062826'> </a></blockquote></div> Because let's be frank, there's a difference between Matthews and Marner. Marner has never scored more than 35 goals in a season and has never reached 100 points. In that sense, Matthews, with his 542 points in 481 career games in Toronto, is much more valuable. Do you think Marner deserves $13M AAV?
