Value of: Marner's Contract

[Jondre91]

5X3

1M guaranteed money, the rest all bonuses based on playoff performance. So I guess 1M.

can you even do bonuses for playoffs. since they don't get paid for the playoffs

Maybe Marner turns out like Kessel.

Kessel was plagued with attitude and work-ethics problems for years. Mocked for hot dogs, lack-luster performances, considered a "Kesselitis" infecting the Leafs as a whole.

He moves on and lands on a contender where his complementary talents mesh well with the superior players like Crosby, Malkin and others...and he thrives for years as an underling...winning 3 Stanley Cups in the last years of his career.

This is being unnecessarily disrespectful to Kessel.

During the 2016 cup run, Kessel led the team in playoff scoring, averaged more icetime than Malkin and would lose the Conn Smythe by a hair to the best hockey player in the world at the time.

That's not the work of an underling.

$100m/8y=$12.5m AAV

marner had too much pride to accept that AAV, he will want more money
