For Kyle Dubas and the Leafs, it’s not a pretty picture.

We could talk about how Brayden Point — a 40+ goal center — is going to need to make roughly $15 million AAV on his next contract to earn the same as Marner between the years 2019-2025, but the contract that is really telling is Rantanen’s six-year deal signed today in Colorado.
