Overview
- David Pagnotta reports McMann’s agent and GM Brad Treliving are actively discussing a contract extension.
- Daily Faceoff relays that Toronto is reluctant to approach a five-year, $5 million AAV framework and could pivot to exploring trades.
- Elliotte Friedman has estimated an extension would total roughly $20–25 million, reinforcing the gap on value.
- Contenders including the Oilers, Hurricanes and Avalanche have been linked to McMann, whose $1.35 million cap hit heightens his appeal.
- Analysts suggest Toronto could seek a significant return, with some projecting a second- or even first-round pick for the late-blooming winger.
