William Nylander recently committed to a big contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The contract has a nice No Move Clause that lasts the whole eight-year term. It is worth $92 million, mostly in signing bonuses. Thanks to Toronto being arguably the largest hockey market, once Nylander signed the immediate talk became What will Mitch Marner's next contract look like? <h2>How Marner and Nylander compare will determine the contract</h2> Mitch Marner made over $3 million more than Nylander did in his second contract, which was a six-year, $65.4 million deal that followed his initial ELC.
