"The Toronto Maple Leafs and Bobby McMann have begun conversations on an extension, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. While it is not believed the two have given out a number, the initial discussions have started. Maple Leafs management would love to bring McMann back to the organization past this season. Management can expect McMann to demand anywhere from $3.5 to $ 5 million, as he has played a crucial role in the Leafs' lineup this season."
"The Alberta native has found a home on the first line with Auston Matthews and Max Domi. What the Maple Leafs and Craig Berube love about Bobby McMann is that he can produce and play the same style of hockey, whether he is on the first or fourth line. McMann has also built chemistry on the third line alongside Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua, before Joshua was sidelined long-term with a kidney injury."
"McMann has been trusted to play in all three zones of the ice. He plays heavy minutes against other teams' best players and is still able to generate offence at a high level. McMann is known to be a heavy power forward who is not afraid to go into the dirty areas. He can win puck battles and look to find Matthews or Domi to generate a goal."
Preliminary contract-extension talks between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Bobby McMann have begun, with no formal offer disclosed. Management expects McMann could seek between $3.5 and $5 million given his contributions this season. McMann has played effectively on first, third, and fourth lines, finding a role on a line with Auston Matthews and Max Domi while also building chemistry with Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua. He is trusted in all three zones, takes heavy minutes against top opponents, generates offence at a high level, and led the team in December with six goals, totaling 14 so far. McMann originally signed with the Marlies in 2020 from the ECHL and developed within the organization.
