Player Discussion Marner

[Mess]

The Nylander over pay was a result of the Marner over pay so at what point does it stop?

That's a fact, but it all stemmed from the John Tavares overpay @$11 mil that started it all.

Tavares was a Full UFA signing and a Clueless Dubas gave Marner essentially the same contract as a RFA (first 4 years).

The difference between JT @ $11 mil X last 6 years = $ 66 mil vs. Marner @$10.9 mil X 6 = $65.4 mil .. Difference $600k over contract.

Those contract were based on a Salary cap back in 2018-19 Salary Cap.

So Willy of course who outscores JT most years will also want > $11 mil per because of JT and because Marner has already been foolishly given that on his past contract.

21 goals in our last 11 playoff games. The problem has been scoring

Now that our d is set. I fully expect us to be acquiring a 2C with term this year. I think Liljegren and maybe someone like McMann might be packaged to get that.

There was no Marner overpay. There was a Nylander overpay, that was the result of Treliving, not Marner.

Lmao, what? We didn't overpay marner?

I was kinda tired and this woke me up so thanks.

April 1st is a bit a ways away there bud, don't ya know.

Clearly Marner the RFA did not have the numbers to get that contract vs comparable players.

John Tavares was not an overpay. He was literally offered more Money other places.

He was a no 1 c and 2 time hart trophy finalist.

Tavares has a better ufa case than Marner. It’s not close.

He hasn’t aged as well sure. But he was not an over pay
