Value of: Now how Much Would You Pay Marner

[fbuford]

Whoever pays him is going to regret it

He's a good passer and okay defensively ... but that's about it. He's a complimentary piece, not the focal point of your offense.

 

[Power Surge]

I think the Flyers should make a play. And if they win the Schaefer sweepstakes this will turn things around.

He's a good season player not built for the playoffs, if you are trying to get into the playoffs, I think he is a great piece but I'm willing to bet the teams that are going after him are mostly bottom feeders/fringe contenders and maybe one or two legit contenders.

Edmonton would probably be his best chance at winning the cup considering he can go on the third line with RNH and whoever and absolutely feast where McDrai take the brunt of "bad matchups." Buffalo and Detroit would probably be two other great spots getting a ton of money and he likely takes them into the playoffs which is more than enough for those fan bases.

I wanted him at the draft. Not sure what this quote from 7 years is supposed to be about. This is before his constant playoff performance disappointments. Even now I would pay him the same as Rantanen which is 12M - but if he wants anything more he's just a cancer to the team

How bout now? @Namikaze Minato

 

[jonlin]

can help take Celebrini/Bedard

A Marner-Bedard duo would be hilarious. Can there be a softer one? They would need Tom Wilson on that line.

3x14+

 

[fbuford]

Draisaitl, Matthews, Barkov, McDavid, MacKinnon, Eichel are the only forwards better than Marner IMO.

Now, can Marner generate 100+ point seasons without Matthews? That remains the question.

Whenever Matthews is injured, you'll see Marner take more initiative to score, so yes, I think he can generate similar offense with subpar players.

Now he is not a selke level defender, but, make no mistake -- Marner is extremely competent in his own end. He doesn't make any mistakes, but, once again, he isn't a shutdown guy.

He is just sound defensively, meaning he is overall a net positive defensively. Not a lot forwards including Kucherov, Kaprizov, Draisaitl are as good as Marner defensively.



Now take the example on the Leafs of Nylander v Marner, Nylander is a better skater and shooter, and he's also a great playmaker.

But, what seperates Marner from Nylander, is his defensive and offensive awareness.
He will never make any mistakes defensively or offensively.

However, at times, Marner's compete level is very questionable, he lacks the desire to win and the motor of a franchise player i.e. Mcdavid/Draisaitl/Matthews etc

So all in all, I don't think to a contender he is worth 14 million, it's better spent in other facets.

Boeser is staying

Yeah... about that...

Brock Boeser says his time in Vancouver is likely over after this season

Not sure what you keep quoting me on - my opinion doesn't change over a game, it's still the same lol.

He can take 12M or he can walk. Priority is to sign Knies

I just don’t want you make a decision on something this big without seriously considering it. That’s all

Unless you don’t mind “gotcha” posts 2 years from now when Marner scores a hat trick in round 2 or something with another team

12 mil works @AuraSphere

I still wouldn't offer him a contract until after the playoffs. I'm really optimistic with how he's played, but so far he's been a no-show in the playoffs. Need him to have a big time performance and keep the momentum going.

Whatever contract he gets will be directly linked to how his post-season goes.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Yeah... about that...

A lot can happen between now and July 1st. He was never getting an 8 year deal and very likely won't get north of six from a contender so it likely comes down to a contender willing to go higher than the five year deal on the table and who Van targets as well.
Personally I hope we keep him but if we have a shot at Ehlers and another top UFA, I get why they might move on.

You forgot Kaprizov.

 

[kmwtrucks]

my guess is Blackhawks offer 7 year 100 mil with a 1/3 of that deffered to get the AAV down closer to 13m

well he hasnt generated a 100+ point season with Matthews so.......

It's always fun to see other fans on HF over value our players for a change when it comes to contract predictions. A nice change of pace.

I haven’t seen you post since forever, dude

Good to see you are back for the playoffs

Never makes a mistake? You haven't seen playoff Marner then.

 

[cheesymc]

I think he’s worth 10-12 million per year (I’m cheap) but on the market he probably gets 15. He likely settles at 14+ and stays near his hometown.

You have me interested at the start until I realized by your 2nd sentence that you clearly don't watch him play

15 x 7. Guys like MM rarely come up for free.

 

[koyvoo]

It’s amazing how much more often Marner gets shit on for his playoff shortcomings (not that it isn’t fair criticism) than his other high profile teammates who who shot the bed when games matter just as much as he does.
