Cool. Now let's do the 31st to 48th highest AAV in the league as a general reference.
So basically an $8.7 to $9.5 million player.
Here are some of Marner's RW comparables.
RW - Nikita Kucherov coming off a 100 assist 144 point season and 2 X recent Stanley Cups makes $9.5 mil AAV
RW- Matthew Tkachuk coming off a Stanley Cup makes $9.5 mil
RW - Mikko Rantanen coming off 42 goal 106 point season and recent Stanley Cup makes $9.5 mil
Marner at $9.5 mil AAV and a PAYCUT down from $10.9 looks badly out of place on that list.
However
RW - Mitch Marner coming off a 1 goal 2 assist playoff = $12.5 mil AAV? This seems about a fair ask on his part.
Only in Toronto would you find a place where contracts and comparables mean nothing and Leaf players simply get paid regardless of performance.
