Mitch Marner Could Receive a $15 Million Per-Season Offer from this Controversial Franchise

Mitch Marner is coming off a season where he had 27 goals, 75 assists, and a whopping 102 points. This was the best season of his career, and he did it in the last year of his contract.

Overall, this performance has set him up nicely for free agency, where he is expected to get a massive contract that could very well break the bank for the team that acquires him.

Some analysts say Marner is worth between $12-$13.5 million per season. However, there are some reports that desperate teams are willing to give him $15 million.

According to reporter Chris Johnston, there are a few teams that would love to throw some intense money at Marner. One of those teams is the Chicago Blackhawks, who desperately need someone to pair with Connor Bedard.

While Johnston did not confirm the number Chicago would offer, it can be inferred by the various reports we have seen surrounding that $15 million number.

The Blackhawks have the cap space to make those numbers work. Furthermore, they are a desperate team in a very desperate situation.

One of the major issues with Marner, however, is that he has yet to perform well in the postseason, which should be seen as a deterrent from spending loads of money on him.

You can even argue that there is no world in which he should be making more money than a guy like Mikko Rantanen.

Either way, Marner is in for a huge payday, and some teams are losing their minds a bit here as they try to acquire the best player available this summer.
