Player Discussion Marner

[Antropovsky]

Are you winging it for days now?

Can explain what this means and show examples of comparables and rationale?

They measure Marner’s greatness by points, ntil you point out that Domi had more 5v5 points per 60 than Marner. Then they say Marner boosts his linemates goal scoring, until you mention that Matthews was twice as productive with Domi than with Marner. Or that Matthews scored 1.8 goals/60 with 40-year-old Marleau, while he's produced 1.5 and 1.3 goals/60 with Marner over the last two seasons. Then they pivot to GF%. But when you show that Aho had a better GF% in 2019 (even though they claimed Marner was much better), they circle back to points and hope everyone forgets. Then it’s, “I’ve explained this countless times,” because they know their reasoning is flawed and don't want to be called out on it.

Marner did not. There is nothing to suggest that the was worth than rantanen. Even considering the bonuses that Lou cheated him out of.

Willy was right In line with multiple comparables (forsberg/pasta/ehlers/gaudreau) considering total body of work and taxes.

Matthews was right in line with 5 year contracts although from a while ago. (Nash/kovy/malkin/crosby). Save stamkos signing in a no tax market.

Mitch was overpaid. Not by a ton but he was the only sub 30 g 90 pt winger to get 10.93.

He should have been around 9.75. Marner has no comparables that got what he got.
Rantanen had similar pace and had about 15 more goals and 15 less points in less
Games.

Rantanen got 9.25. Marner got 10.93 There is not a 1.7 million dollar difference at the time. There probably is now a difference with rantanen deserving more.

Willy is at 13% of aav. I think we paid right at the top of his market. He probably could ask for 14% aav as a ufa based on his performance last year….. but that wasn’t what he was before.He has to be a 40 g 95-100 pt player.

Marner is better and has an argument for more. Unless he has an off year then they have 2 years as similar players

Didn't Marner lead the leafers in points? Because that makes a large difference when signing contracts

Was he booed in the home opener?

I was there. From where I was sitting it was loud and fans were engaged. He got the second loudest cheer of the night after matthews

Salary collapse started with tavares... Considerating it was an overpay or not at this moment changing absolutly nothing, the fact leafs sign tavares at 11M etablish team salary ladder at 11M

When it was time to resign Matthews, unstead to resign him at 10M, with jt already at 11M they signed him over tavares contract.

With jt at 11 and matthews over 11M, it was basically impossible to resign marner around 9M.

1 contract just broke the entire organisation salary ladder

And that falls on Shanny and Dubas or anyone on the board that wanted JT.
None of us truly know but we assume Shanny and Dubas were the guys.

MM and WN arent worth the money they make today. 10m would probably be most teams absolute max.

I watched it and no one was booed and no one was really cheered. Many of the podcasters mention the lack of enthusiasm by the fans on their shows over the weekend and today

Those in attendance said he and Matthews received a tremendous ovation as you’d expect.

so no one was doing boo-urns as we had previously though and not surprised at all lol

Why does that make a difference? There nothing to suggest that makes up for 1.7 million.

its Generally raw points (total goals/points over ELC) and per game.
