The Toronto Maple Leafs are potentially in the midst of crucial contract negotiation with Mitch Marner, a key player since being drafted in 2015.
Marner, a 30-goal, 90-point winger, is reportedly interested in staying with the team, and the Leafs are contemplating on whether to keep him or not.
According to reports, Marner's camp is asking for a substantial increase, targeting around $13 million annually over eight years. With the salary cap expected to rise, the Leafs could see this request climb even higher.
#LeafsForever and Marner extension numbers at this time are pretty huge, looking like 8x13M is the asking price form the Marner camp. At this time Leafs are not happy with that.

Marner's performance this season could impact negotiations. A strong season with over 100 points or a breakout playoff performance could sway the Leafs to keep him in Toronto. However, if things goes south and history repeats itself, we could see Marner walk to free agency.
Marner is an incredible talent deserving of a significant contract. However, the Leafs need to consider their overall cap space and future team dynamics. As negotiations continue, Marner's performance will be crucial in determining his final contract value.
