Value of: Matthew Knies long term deal in Toronto

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

I just wouldn't have put him in the same potential class as a 1st overall. You are welcome to that opinion. I think we have very different opinions on the player. $7m+ seems wild to me.

1 st OV does not mean they are not having similar career paths. You can adjust for age but the production and usage is similar with both teams. Who is your comparable for a 22 year old power forward then in his second full season? Krieder? He is well on his way to out produced Krieder's first two season as well? Laf another 1st overall? He is well on his way to out produced his first two seasons as well. This is the arguement his agent is going to do and he would be right.

If he pots 30+, that deal might start with an 8.

Guenther was pacing 30+ goals last year and that got him $7m. He doesn’t play with Matthews and Marner, but the cap is going up, which is why I had $7m on the top end of my range.

Cool bro. As i said, you are welcome to your opinion.

You don't pay for those points twice.

That's a great quote.

Heard this guy is on the trajectory to be the best winger in the game, from a leaf fan. 14x8?

Best power forward in the game.. not player

Oh man, this thread is about to get interesting

So let Marner go and sign him long term for big money? Seems like a plan.

Beat the market by overpaying right off the bat certainly simplifies things.
