Mitch Marner Reveals What He’s Heard About Vegas' Jack Eichel originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Vegas Golden Knights acquired Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs just before the winger reached free agency and immediately signed him to an eight-year, $96 million contract.

Marner was set to hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career after his contract with the Maple Leafs expired on June 30. Rather than hit the open market, he was dealt to Vegas in exchange for Nic Roy and proceeded to sign an eight-year contract worth $12 million per season.
