Would you look at that, a Maple Leaf wants a high-salary contract that he's not worth. That's right, Mitch Marner is asking for an outrageous pay raise according to a new report.
Greedy Marner
Trusted NHL insider David Pagnotta revealed on Leafs Morning Take that Mitch Marner's new salary demands could exceed those of Auston Matthews, and potentially land in the $15 million-a-year range.
"If [Marner] puts up another 100-point season or close to it, and Nylander's getting $10M and Auston's getting $14M... $15M for Mitch?" - David Pagnotta
While we can't say we're surprised by Marner's outlandish ask, we have to wonder who will be doing his negotiations, his agent or his father.
Leafs Fans Lose It
Leafs fans on Twitter did not react kidly to this report, and let their feelings towards the Leafs star be known. Here are some of their best replies:
It's safe to say Leafs nation knows Marner's worth, even if he doesn't.
