[Digitalbooya]

Done deal.
5x$9m

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yay.

 

[rynryn]

THIS WHOLE TIME THIS OFFER HAS BEEN ON THE TABLE FOR WEEKS

 

[AKL]

@kp61c

But they were only offering him 6-7M, right?

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Could have been worse

 

[ref19]

Great deal

lol I don't want to hear 1 more word about Marner. 5 years, 9 million for a guy with a half a season of games. Unreal.

this is the new normal. Petterrson is going to get $15m now?

Not everything is about the Leafs.

 

[Vitto79]

Show me the money

 

[I am Canadian]

Seems fair

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

geeze... these contracts nowadays my god

yes hes talented, but cmon... guys with this limited NHL experience shouldnt be getting this so fast. No wonder every year teams scramble due to cap issues

However, im happy hes signed though... was fun to watch last year

Good on Kaprizov massively cashing in though.. gotta get that money fast

 

[tiny103]

Guess this is the comparable for everyone to work off of

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

$7.333M per year for the 3 RFA years (comparable to Barzal/Tkachuk)
$11.5M per year for the 2 RFA years (comparable to Panarin)

Not a deal to do backflips over, except for the fact that we get to watch him for the next 5 years (hopefully). Glad it's done.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Overpayment, but a necessary overpayment. MIN needs to go all out on making a cup contender in the next few seasons.

I hope these "Get a shit ton of money despite taking less years" thing doesn't become a trend, but it looks like it is.

Not everything is about the Leafs.

Is it not normal to compare contracts?

 

[Paradise Circus]

Petey next?

 

[rynryn]

it being over is the best part of this deal for me. thank you for ending it.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

He deserves it and will likely return + value on that deal.

 

[Osakahaus]

Huge deal for a man who still has only 1 season under his belt. Lets hope his dynamic creativity keeps up. Loved watching him last season

 

[rynryn]

NMC for the last couple years is quite the concession by the team. yikes.

 

[MMC]

Now tied with Jeff Skinner as the 18th highest paid forward in the league.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Overpayment but that was too be expected.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He deserves it and will likely return + value on that deal.

He doesn't "deserve" it but the Wild had little choice. Hope there is no regression!
