• The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly preparing a seven-year offer that could exceed $14 million per season.
• Critics such as Ken Daneyko point to Marner’s limited postseason impact when questioning a contract in that range.
• He produced a career-best 102 points during the regular season but recorded only one assist in Toronto’s final four playoff games.
