Ducks crowd celebrates Lukáš Dostál's Second 50+ save performance of the season and his career (Via: Derek Lee) As the NHL season is months away, fans and bettors alike are already looking into early player predictions next season to hopefully turn a profit and today we look to focus on the player props for an individuals point totals. One of the most intriguing players to explore is Toronto Maple Leafs' star forward, Mitch Marner. The Leafs are one of the most divisive sports franchises in the world and many outlets have spent the last few months since the season ended talking about Marner and his expiring contract. We always look at players going into contract years and expect the best from that individual as they want to get paid in their next contract. Bet: Mitch Marner Over 94.5 Points (-115) Marner finds himself in a spot where he could potentially have his best season yet. The noise around him has certainly been loud and he should be motivated to prove some doubters wrong. He will also be on one of his best Leaf teams yet with management making some impressive moves like trading for backend help like Chris Tanev as well as signing potential difference making players in Stanley Cup Champions Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Anthony Stolarz.

He has recorded 90 or more points four times and has been dialled in over the past three seasons with 91 goals and 190 assists for 281 points in 221 games. During that span, he has more points than other star players that are talked about more like Sidney Crosby, Jason Robertson and Elias Pettersson. Marner is long overdue for his first 100-point campaign and should come close once again with another season playing alongside near-70 goal scorer Auston Matthews and a more mature Matthew Knies.
