Let's Discuss.

Nylander probably underpaid. Marner probably not really tbh if you base on regular season credentials but uhh in the playoffs lol. Seems silly to have one poll for two players. Wait underpaid isnt even a poll answer? What a totally objective unbiased post this is

 

[Oilwings]

Nylander about 1M too much and Marner should be making in the 6M range.

 

[Atomos2]

Marner is super overpaid. Should be getting nylander money tbh and shouldn’t be lumped in with Nylander. Nylander is fine where he is.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Combined they should be making what Marner alone makes

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Options suck.
Nylander is not over paid
and
Marner is incredibly over paid.
I thought 9-9.5m would be fair/high
his real aav is a complete joke.

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah, it’s a bit silly to lump Nylander in with Marner.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Marner is insanely overpaid.

Nylander is about FMV

 

[CatchyTune]

Nylander- not whatsoever.

Marner- a little bit at most. People are overreacting from a bad playoff series but forget he played to a 99 point pace ffs

You can win with Marner's contract. You can win with Nylander's contract. You can win with Matthew's contract. You can win with Tavares' contract. It's the fact that 4 player refused to sign under market value around the same time that's the issue.

Competitive team gets players signed for under market rates. Barzal has an 85 pt season, he probably could have held out for 8.5 million. Point could have bet on himself and been a 9 million player. Crosby, Bergeron... List goes on and on of teams that got value for their players.

I don't blame the players, I'd have done the same.

Marner got $10.9 million as a restricted free agent. A RFA. Meaning he had no leverage. He either signed or held-out. He had no ability to shop himself around and go to the highest bidder the way an unrestricted free agent does.

Combine this with the fact he had never delivered a playoff series win for Toronto and had never won any kind of individual awards.

Dubas got bent over very hard in the Marner negotiations.

How do you allow a player in Marner's situation with Marner's resume to command almost $11 million dollars from you?

 

[BlueBull]

Yeah, it’s a bit silly to lump Nylander in with Marner.

Some people have lumped him in, especially during the 2020 Season.

 

[BlueBull]

Added two new options, so people can vote better.

 

[kihei]

Nylander is becoming something of a bargain, and Marner will be impossible to trade unless the Leafs eat a sizeable chunk of his contract.

 

[Ezpz]

Fair value for market price. Unfortunately for the Leafs, Marner was a controlled RFA asset when he signed that deal.

 

[Taluss]

I wouldn't complain having Nyl at his contract rn. Marner overpaid by a few mill

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Marner is likely overpaid by a million but he has lead the Leafs in scoring for three of the last four years so thats the kind of overpay you can bite the bullet on, as opposed to overpaying somebody when they are in their thirties.

Nylander is right in line with what he should be paid, might have seemed like a slight overpayment at the time but it's certainly looking like a solid deal now.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Nylander is fairly paid. Marner is overpaid by around 1.5 to 2 million based on his contract length. Even if he signed that same AAV for max term it would still be a very rich deal for him

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Both by about a million

 

[Larry Hanson]

They are both overpaid based on their comparables at the time of signing. The AAV's aren't really the biggest problem though, the problem is that they are signed for almost only RFA years, for cap hits that high they should have been signed to max terms. As much as I've railed on the Oilers for inflating RFA salaries at least they got full term on their stars.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Marner is overpaid by about 3 mil. He should be making 8-9.

Nylander is overpaid by maybe 0.5 mil.

 

[JaegerDice]

Marner is overpaid by like 1.5-2 million bucks, Nylander isn't overpaid at all.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Marner is massively overpaid. Getting superstar "Patrick Kane on a UFA" type money while not being that caliber of player.

Nylander a little bit for a RFA, but that one isn't so bad in a vacuum.

 

[Stuzchuk]

both should be in the 7M range... so one is fair and the other one.... well not so much

Matthews doesn't deserve his contract.

11.34 x 5 with a career high of 63 points at time of signing? If auston signed for 8 it would've cost more than mcdavid at 12.5!

Such a terrible contract

Also, marner only got his deal because of matthews. Marner had a 94 point season.
