Value of: Nikolaj Ehlers as a UFA

[Guy Larose]

Why would he sign in Montreal to play with his buddy for one year and scrap to make the playoffs every year.

Same reason other players sign in other markets, because they want to

Good luck with that.

If Carolina wants to get him and take themselves out of the Marner race so Sabres odd's go up lol. I wouldn't mind him in buffalo but Peterka probably has to go to get him.

Definitely don’t want Marner. Not a playoff warrior and we wouldn’t be able to extend practically anyone with the salary he’d demand. Rather have depth than follow the TML model

should a player that never hit 70 points really get double digits? entering his 30s too

I wonder about this too. I think he absolutely could get 10M, but I can't imagine it being a contract that most look at favourably if he does. I guess it depends on if he would rather get the max payday, or get paid well and still not get heat from fans if he isn't producing at another level from what he had in the past.

Some of these numbers being thrown out are crazy. I know the cap is going up but I wouldn't want to pay him anywhere near 9M. He's a 7.5M tops in my opinion.

If Marner signs right away it will be like winning a lottery for Ehlers

I guess I'm just spoiled as a Utah fan when it comes to contracts. Guenther is locked up for the next 8 years @7.1M, nevermind Keller at the same price for the next few years. Not saying Ehlers wouldn't be a great add to any team, just would hard to stomach if he was the highest paid player on Utah.

Good luck with that.

What part of "not saying this is what's going to happen" don't you understand?
