Average isn’t the right way but they do.% of cap hit is the right way to compare. At least it gets close to including natural contract escalation for different years. Many years difference in many cases. He needs to be compared to Rantanen’s and Eichels and not cherry picked comparisons. He still comes out on top production wise. This board is kinda nuts on Marner. To many clowns
Excuse me? You're the one rationalizing away Marner's excellent play. Like every other time you have done this, you have brought absolutely zero substantiation for your claims, while I have supported my position.
No, they don't. That would be illogical. They were signed under wildly different caps. Kane's contract under the same cap as Marner would be 9m x 5 years. Which means Marner would probably be 1.2m or so higher than Kane on the same term, which aligns quite well with how much better Marner was than Kane.
Vanek's contract post ELC was that offer sheet he signed with Edmonton and Buffalo matched it which was $7,142,857 AAV x 7 years.
I seem to remember more people focusing on Marner's $10.893 million AAV instead of the percentage of the Leafs salary cap.
My old man bought a brand new car in 1972 for around $3000. Man did I overpay.
I did post the correct numbers. That is the equivalent contract value under the same cap as Marner.
Why would you be sure he would agree that a bad production year is a disappointment. Thats life for players in the playoffs man. I’m sure i would not agree. Players putting up 1 point per game average in the playoffs are the cream of the crop.it’s nice but can’t be expected every year. It just can’t and circumstances of series don’t matter. If he plays well and gets zero points in a series it fine long as we win the series. Joe Thornton is not a point per game playoffs.
Except how many people look at the equivalent under todays cap when it comes to Marner's contract?
Man. Did St Louis overpay for Krug (6.5MM) considering Rielly only makes $5MM? Thats like 30% more.
Marner's contract was signed under the same cap we are currently under, so it's already the same. Cap hit percentage is what GMs and agents care about, and what contracts and comparables are based on. It's the only logical way to account for cap inflation.
When Vanek signed that offer sheet the salary cap going into the 2007-08 Season was $55,630,000.
Yes... that's kind of the point... The caps were wildly different. The cap has inflated over time, and with it, so have contract values. That is why cap hit percentages are used for comparables, not raw cap hits. Anything else would be illogical.
I can not see Matthews and Marner on the PK together at the same time. With the chances of having to block shots and the possibility of getting injured when that happens, I rather not have them out together on the same PK shift.
If you have them on the same shift, there is a lower probability that they both get hurt
The only positive I can see for Matthews and Marner on the same PK line is they could possibly create a better chance to score a shorthanded goal.
Correct me if I'm wrong but after Toronto got eliminated by Boston in 2019 wasn't Marner and Tavares getting criticism for their lack of production compared to what they did in the regular season when Marner got 94 points and Tavares got 47 goal along with 88 points.
Well on here yeah,of course. Nothing is good enough on the boards bro. As soon as a loos comes after five wins its trade the entire team ha. People are happy to angry from one period to the next ha.
True but I suspect substantially more people dont think it is a big deal and dont understand why it talked about incessantly
