You don't give a guy $72 million over 8 years after a 20 goal, 69 point season (career high at that time).
Yes, he has raised his value since them. That's a good thing.
Too big of a long term gamble to give him that contract at that time. What if Marner regressed this past season like guys like Alex wennberg, Clayton Keller, Patrick Laine, etc...
Dubas played it just fine.
$72 million over 8 years is about what a 26 goal, 94 point rfa is worth now. If marner can't accept that, then he may have play out the season wherever the **** he is now in Europe.
I would have. It was clear he grew a lot in his sophomore year... over the second half of the season and into the playoffs, he paced for 95 points.
Also, name the last 94 point winger to earn less than 10M on their next contract.
