Eliotte Friedman reported Jack Eichel's new contract will be worth more than Mitch Marner's 8x$12 million deal.  Friedman said Eichel's deal could be around $12.5 million AAV. And the deal could be for term, possibly eight years. Eichel told the Hockey News he is excited to play with Marner.  He said he can relate with some of the things Marner is going through with his departure from Toronto.  We discuss when negotiations will begin for Pavel Dorofeyev"s contract extension. His contract expires at the end of next season.  And, we wonder if Kelly McCrimmon will kick the tires on Jared McCann.
