Feel like the correct answer is the one who you feel is more likely to hit the open market.

That's why I voted for Rantanen in the poll. Marner has a full NMC though and possibly has the Leafs bent over a barrel when it comes to negotiating an extension with them, but he might be more likely to stay where he is than test the open market. Rantenten, however, just got traded, so Carolina has a very short window in which to convince him to stay and sign an extension rather than test the UFA market.
 
Let's hope he doesn't get Klingberged.

Why not?

He's made more money in his career than most will in his lifetime. If he was too greedy to take the offer from Colorado then that is on him. And if he doesn't pan out and declines significantly, then great than an NHL team didn't waste money on him. However I still think he gets overpaid.
 
Likely Marner.. the Leafs don’t have a great record in negotiating any advantage in contracts for their team.
