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

Serious question: Exactly which GM has expressed an interest in acquiring Marner?

Well if it's true, he should put his pride into playing his best hockey when it matters most instead of his $$ numbers...

Maybe, I say maybe, if it's true, we got a clue why this team is chocking in the playoffs.

A bunch of superstars who care more about themselves than collective successes..

Marner’s ego won’t accept anything below the nylander contract. Ego is a hell of a drug

It will be interesting to see what happens. Is Shanahan is allowed to make this deal or is his role too tenuous?

Yes and not in dollars he'll use Nylander's cap percentage as his floor. Nylander used Marner's rfa deal as his floor. Other teams don't have such floors in place, i dont see him getting better offers than his current deal elsewhere, perhaps only from a total non playoff team...which is probably the best fit for him.

This is how I see playing out. Shanahan is in his last year. He’s already replaced the GM, the coach, signed and gave matthews the C, resigned nylander, that leaves marner as the only one left to blame if things go sideways again. Shanny already hinted at marner’s underwelming playoffs this past end of year presser. Marner will not be resigned during the year and if or when things do end badly, marner will walk to ufa and sign to the highest bidder which will be Columbus or Chicago.

There are just some nhlers destined not to win a cup, marner will be one of them

Guaranteed money is for all the contract, and there is no playoff bonuses allowed.
Would suggest reading/glancing at the CBA.

I'd sacrifice a goat and two virgins, because that's what gods deserve.

In all seriousness, I think 13+ is what he'll get but that's too much. He has sexy numbers but is litterally a princess.

dont forget a lamb, gods deserve the best
