Ex-Maple Leaf touches on Mitch Marner, fires a shot at his dad and his agent
Ex-Maple Leaf Jay Rosehill made a very bold statement about Mitch Marner this week and also took a subtle shot at his dad, Paul Marner and agent, Darren Ferris.
Mitch Marner is set to enter the final season of his current contract and according to thelatest update from Chris Johnston, he will be doing so without an extension in place.
The Leafs are taking the same approach they took with William Nylander last season before he signed an extension, wanting Marner to show that he can elevate his game before committing to a long-term deal. Former Leaf and co-host of 'Leafs Morning Take' Jay Rosehill believes that without the extension already in place, and due to all the heat he has taken, Marner is going to have the best season of his career.
While Rosehill believes Marner will finally break the 100-point mark, he said what we are all thinking, in that regular season success means absolutely nothing this year. He also fired a shot at Marner's agent, Darren Ferris, and his dad, Paul Marner.
At a $10.9M cap hit this season, Marner is due to land a new deal somewhere between Nylander's $11.5M AAV and Auston Matthews' $13.25M AAV. Where that deal will be signed, though, will be heavily dependent on his playoff performance.
