Mason Marchment

Current Team: Florida Panthers
Age: 27
2021-22 Stats: 54 Games, 18 Goals, 47 Points
Current Salary: $800,000

The Toronto Maple Leafs may have unceremoniously dumped Mason Marchment in 2020, but I wouldn’t necessarily count out a return to Toronto for the Uxbridge, Ontario native.

Marchment had a career year with the Florida Panthers last season, and he’d be smart to stay with the Panthers if they agree to a fair raise.  Florida has some decisions to make and not a lot of cap room.

His dad, Bryan Marchment, works with the San Jose Sharks, so that might be another great option for Mason.  He will probably go where the money is best however.

Mason Marchment is relatively unproven after having his first great season, but someone is likely to overvalue him and offer him more than the Leafs would be willing to part with.
