If there are any offer sheets this year they will be for Mitch Marner as he's a more dynamic player and the Leafs have cap issues.

Marner didn't exactly have a great playoff either...one more point in three more games. I think some of you read to much into a poor playoff round. Top paid player in the league has missed the playoffs 3 of 4 seasons. Skinner just got 9M and hasn't even played a playoff game.
