That’s interesting because I think Miro’s contract could/should be the new benchmark for the team: no one makes more than him. Like with Lidstom back in the day, I think.Give ‘em the Miro contract and call it a day.

Who knows what the future looks like but I think it’s a nice standard that’s been set for now. Wont knock him if he gets more - I understand it’s a business.That’s interesting because I think Miro’s contract could/should be the new benchmark for the team: no one makes more than him.

It can be for now, but once the cap starts growing again, that isn't going to work, but I'd also be hesitant to say miro should be the mark for which all others are held toThat’s interesting because I think Miro’s contract could/should be the new benchmark for the team: no one makes more than him.

Already touched on it, but Kaprizov also had a LOT more leverage than Robertson does. His KHL angle was not something his agent just tossed around.
In fact ... this is how similar Rantanen and Robertson are. If you just look at Draft +4 and +5 for both players. Robertson has a slight edge in goals per game (0.47 vs 0.43) and Rantanen has a slight edge in points (1.01 vs. 1.10).
This doesn't really mean anything in terms of why they might have similar contracts. I just thought it was interesting when you try and look at them at the same point in development ... they're that close. Those numbers don't include Rantanen's first 2 years in the league or Robertson's 3 total games in his first pro season to try and only look at years they both played significant NHL games.
This is what I’m thinking . I don’t think they will get that but that’s probably where they wanna start . Given the tax situation in Dallas he will likely sign for around 9.5m if it’s an 8 year deal . Robertson’s agent is not stupid , he knows what he has .Robertson’s agent will probably try to use Marner’s contract as a comparable

Do you have a link to the discussion where they said Marner’s contract is viewed as an outlier? I believe it, I’m just interested in checking it out.What's interesting, and I agree with them, is all the members of the media that discussed his contract (it was a hot topic after the weekend), brought up Marner and then indicated he was an outlier that wasn't useful. If Robertson's team gets focused on or won't budge off Marner, I don't have a problem with Dallas holding firm. He'll probably miss games next year. Robertson is great, but you can't panic and start throwing out a $10 or $11 million contract for him and remain competitive, especially when you have another potential monster deal to negotiate with Hintz next season. You absolutely have to be fair, but you can't be stupid or you're going to get beat up just as bad by Hintz's representation.
The other thing that's not insignificant is the taxes, all of the media coverage talked about this as well. Marner pays approximately $1.8 million more in Toronto vs. Dallas on average. Marner's big earner year was $15.3 million. He paid approximately $8.2 million in taxes. In Dallas, he would have paid about $5.6 million.
Every time this comes up, someone will pipe up that taxes don't matter, but the reality is the majority of the time you do see slightly lower AAVs for teams like Dallas, Tampa, Florida, Nashville, Vegas, and you'll see it with Seattle as well, especially compared to the Canadian market. It's why it is even more impressive that Poile gets away without handing out movement clauses. I don't like the Nill uses them like they're virtually nothing, but it's also a reasonable and expected result of taking less for a favorable tax situation. The only NMC that actually genuinely bothers me is Lindell. he basically got a market value contract with an iron clade NMC. Just didn't make sense. His agent really won that negotiation, and even if you don't like the contracts Nill/Janko hand out, they typically don't outright get blown out of the water.

.Toronto right winger Mitch Marner also signed a six-year deal in 2019 following a campaign in which he had 94 points in 82 games (1.14 points per game). Marner’s $10.9-million AAV will be touted by the Robertson camp as relevant, but it seems to be a deal that has later been viewed as an outlier given Marner’s lower goal totals
I imagine back to back Hattys probably gave that percentage a little boost .I'm not going to slander my son but he does have a 20.4% shooting percentage and >12% on-ice shooting percentage.
Again no slander but I just wanted to point these things out before we start getting silly
