Value of: Mitch Marner's Next Contract

[Soundwave]

Everyone's hung up about Nylander, but I kinda think Marner is going to be more interesting. Currently in the top 5 in the NHL in scoring, you gotta figure he's quickly playing himself out of the $8 mill range and into a number that could be in the $10 per range.

Marner is outproducing Eichel who signed at $10 mill, and Eichel signed when the cap was lower.

Around Draisaitl money.

IDK why everyone considers Drai's contract to be such an overpayment. Eichel's was 1.5 million more for a similar calibre player.

 

[Soundwave]

Draisaitl got 8.5 for hitting 77 points with McDavid, Marner is on pace for 106 points without McDavid.

Draisatl shouldve gotten 7.5m and Eichel should've gotten 8.5m

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Probably 10 mil x 8

Oh right because Tavares is a useless player right? I cant believe you used that as you're argument.

He's a good player, but he's not the best player on the planet.

 

[typicalsavage]

The Eichel and Draisaitl contracts inflated the market so he could get 10+ now.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Yeah, he's playing his way to 10 mil per. Better win quick, that roster is about to get REAL expensive

 

[typicalsavage]

He's a good player, but he's not the best player on the planet.

They're both playing with elite players. Maybe if Marner still played with Bozak you would have a case.

And if Leon Draisaitl finished with 100+ points two years ago he'd have gotten 10 mill too just like Eichel at minimum.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

probably about 8-9 million

 

[typicalsavage]

Heres a better question. Why didn't the Leafs lock him up in the summer?

because Marner thought he would have a season like the season he's about to have

 

[Soundwave]

probably about 8-9 million

8 is looking ridiculously low, I don't see how he takes 8 when Eichel gets 10 on a cap that was like 5-7 million lower.

 

[Drake1588]

An AAV into eight figures.

it depends on the term

 

[Soundwave]

I think Marner, Matthews, Rantanen, and Laine all get 10+. It's going to be the summer where 10+ million salaries become common place. These agents have tons of ammo now and will use each other's deals as leverage.

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

lol Edmonton and Buffalo man, talk about desperate markets throwing out ridiculous contracts that screw over the entire league when negotiating contracts.

 

[Cappuccino]

Heres a better question. Why didn't the Leafs lock him up in the summer?

To sign a contract you need two parties. For the Leafs it would be smarter to sign him last summer for like 7.0M, but for Marner it would be smarter to wait a couple of months and be able to ask for around 9M - 10M.

As a Leaf fan I just hope we don't have the Nylander situation all over again next year.

Everyone saying 10mill are full of shit. Do they think Laine makes 10m? Does point make 10m? What about aho, is he making 10m? Haters gonna hate

Actually I do think Laine will get 10+ too. He will probably finish the season strong, and who knows how far Winnipeg goes in the playoffs. Aho will get 8.

Good luck trying to get jets fans to agree with that. Also, all Dubas has to do is to see what point signs for in Tampa and offer the same contract to Marner. Almost identical numbers.

How does Aho get 8? Hes probaby just as good and is a centre. Plus Canes fans actually think he's better so how does he get paid less?

Cap reality is gonna set in, the cap has risen by like $7 million in the last few years and likely rises again by another $2-$3 mill this summer.

There's gonna be a reallignment coming for salary structure. $10 per will be the "old" $8 per, $8 per will become the old "$6 per", etc. etc. It's inevitable with a cap that keeps rising.
