Mitch Marner now has an eight-year, $96 million deal with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, although Jack Eichel might find himself with a whole lot more.
Jack Eichel was one of the best players in the NHL last season with 28 goals and 94 points. Overall, it was the best statistical season of his career, and it could come with a huge payday soon.
Interestingly enough, the Las Vegas Golden Knights already gave a massive contract to Mitch Marner, his future linemate.
Overall, the Eichel and Marner dynamic is going to be an interesting one, but this potential contract extension situation already threatens to cause a great divide.
Jack Eichel to get a new contract extension
According to Elliotte Friedman on '32 Thoughts,' Eichel and the Golden Knights have already started working on a potential extension.
Because of Eichel's status as one of the best centers in hockey, it appears as though the forward is going to make more money than Mitch Marner.
Vegas have already begun to tackle how it will look with Jack Eichel; I assume it's going to be over Marner's number [$12x8]
Of course, if you know anything about Marner and his father, Paul, then you know that this could cause some major drama within the organization.
There were all kinds of rumors and reports that the Marner's took issue with Auston Matthews having the captaincy, while also making more money.
If Eichel gets preferential treatment in those regards, we could see some drama play out behind the scenes. Hopefully, for the Golden Knights, this is not the case.
Whether or not the Marner experiment ends up working out for Vegas remains to be seen. Regardless, it promises to be very entertaining.
