I think with Rantanen and Marner looking average in this tourny the price on them might not get astronomical. Gives us a chance at least.

At this point, Marner only aspires to be average at the 4 nations.

I've watched Marner pretty closely, guy is afraid of any contact, and takes the easy, some times long route to get the puck if there is any threat of a Dman hitting him. Not a guy you win with.

A 3 game tournament where Rantanen is playing on an overmatched team and Marner's on one with tons of great options at F will have no effect on how GM's (all of which have an extra 10 million in cap space) will approach free agency. I suspect most of the contracts given out will be shocking relative to what we have seen the last decade. We have a burst in the dam on the demand side (10 million in extra cap for everyone) and no real change in the supply of guys getting to UFA status. Basic economics means guys are going get paid well.
