Listening to Brad this morning on the radio. He got asked about Marner's contract. I thought it was funny how nicely he said Marner's contract wasn't relevant since Toronto does their own contract structure. "But good for them" haha
Gaudreau and Marner have very similar games, but Gaudreau is better and doesn't get to play with Tavares.Fixed that for you lol
I tried telling people that it's still the Iggy cap.
Flames got absolutely pummeled to the tune of 50 shots per and looked like an AHL team against the Avs blistering speed. Flames weren't even in the same stratosphere as the Avs and yet Mike Smith stood on his head or it would have been even more laughable.
I still laugh at Cassie Campbell's commentary, she could hardly keep herself together. .
Also in case you haven't heaed the Avs have the 4th best odds in Vegas

Dubas got owned on the Marner deal.. Just accept it and live life.
Treliving has been saying that kind of thing for along while. He's kept reiterating every player has their own needs and every team has their own salary structure.Listening to Brad this morning on the radio. He got asked about Marner's contract.

Valid point and JALATJEI just doesn't roll off the tongue that easily.Easier to say Gio cap than Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla cap though.
So? That wasn’t the issue.
If he signed for 8 years, it would have been for more than 8.5 million.
This is pretty hyperbolic. Is Gaudreau a superior offensive player? Absolutely. But Tkachuk is a superior player in the defensive zone, physically and throwing the opposition off their game. While I'd still say Gaudreau is a better player, it is far closer than some want to admit.Which kills the Flames once Monahan and Gaudreau come up. That’s my point...your best player needs to be making the most money. You legit believe Johnny would have been cool making millions less for 3 years knowing he’s the far superior player?

Marner had 69 points in the season before Tavares got there, which is less than Tkachuk had in the same draft plus 3 year... And without the physical game.Yes because Mitch was terrible without JT before he got there. Who do you think he is? Drai before McDavid? Haha
The Flames actually have a pretty great cap structure going forward. Thanks for the concern though.Which kills the Flames once Monahan and Gaudreau come up.

Agreed.In three years I'd be shocked if Tkachuk isn't the more important player as well.

What are you even talking about?
The discussion was whether he would have received more than 8.5 mill on a long-term deal. That’s it.
You’re arguing a point that has no bearing on the discussion.
And anyone saying this is a bad contract isn't talking into account the massive uptick in salaries.Guess your not accounting for the massive uptick in scoring around the league?
The fact the Flames have so many good value contracts is not a negative.Which I’m saying wouldn’t have happened because it would have made him the significantly highest paid player on a team where many argue he’s the 4th best player. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?

Not to mention that Marner is undersized and soft. Tkachuk brings a true physical presence. Apples and oranges.
Hockey players aren't the brightest bulbs, but they generally understand the fact that nominal contract values change every year.Which kills the Flames once Monahan and Gaudreau come up.

I really hate when people use age instead of draft year to manipulate stats. Claiming Tkachuk & Marner's 19yo seasons were the same year when Marner was drafted a year earlier makes no sense as Marner had the advantage of extra development in having an extra prospects camp and NHL training camp.
This is a more accurate representation.
