I think it’s all going to come down to what Auston Matthews gets. If Arizona jumps in with a stupidly high offer sheet like 15M x 8, then that’ll reset the market. Toronto likely matches like they said they’ll do. Marner then won’t come under $10M because he won’t want to be too far behind Matthews (ala Draisaitl).
Then once those dominoes fall, everyone will set their price shortly after. Tkachuk and his agent could get a really big number depending on how hard they push and how high up Tkachuk finishes in the scoring race.
This could be the craziest summer we’ve ever seen with how strong the UFA and RFA class is.

So you think Toronto would match a & 15M/yr contract and then pay Marner over 10 as well. Apparently the salary cap does not apply to the Toronto Maple Leafs. First off, the Coyotes don't have the money to bring their local boy home. Second, they are moving to Houston anyhow, it is the worst kept secret in hockey. Third, if somehow they did offer Matthews that kind of money they are still a bubble team at best, the Leafs take the 4 1sts and retain Marner.
