Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Continued

[Zero1]

I've thrown out my reasonable expectations at this point. I do think it will be for 8 years of term though.

Don't be surprised if he becomes the highest paid winger in NHL history by a fairly sizeable margin once is done. 13-14 mil aav.

That would be a disgusting contract… At that price you let him walk.

Yet it takes 1 GM to fall in the 6 percent. When jobs are at stake free wallets at large. You know FA is over pay time. Been that way since before the cap era started.

I didn't say he would or wouldn't get $13M here or elsewhere, and I didn't use it as an "appeal to authority".

With all the comments along the lines of 'anyone would pay him $13M', I thought it interesting to see what 'anyone' says.

16 years, $16 million. Final offer.

But in all seriousness when you think about what an NBA benchwarmer makes compared to the 3 biggest stars on the biggest team in the NHL, it’s extremely sad that Bettmannonics drives such a wedge between fanbase and players and everyone is so laser focused on the value of cap space in dollar form. All so we have cost certainty and a proliferation of navy blue Create A Franchise teams.

How many on the main board think the Leafs should re-sign him at more than 12M?

The question was how much you think your team should pay him on a 7 year deal.

From what I can tell, there are 2 votes each for $9, $10, $11, and $12, and one for $13 from people who regularly post here.

So a bit higher than the average, but not greatly so.

Yes, I realized that, but I meant generally.
