71% Informative
Mitch Marner is expected to garner $14 million per year, while an efficient contract would be closer to $12 million .
The supply of valuable players in 2025 is short, meaning it is highly likely for overpayments on contracts to occur.
To win the Stanley Cup , teams need players to overperform their contracts and avoid inefficient contracts of any kind.
There are rumblings the Toronto Maple Leafs are interested in signing Sam Bennett .
Bennett is a perfect fit in Florida , though much of his value comes from extracurricular activities.
The best teams don't contend because of one or two players; that's true even of the Oilers .
If a player isn't willing to sign for what the team needs, then they aren't going to be a Leaf.
