Good luck with that Leafs. You paid Matthews like a top player already... You will be paying the better player Marner a crap load
11.5 per atleast.. Its pretty obvious

They better be prepared for him to say "okay, 5 year deal" then

In this universe where Marner making 9.5 million a year is in fact not a crap load of money.

I agree, if you're talking about Patrick Kane.

The cap's gone up what, $11.5m since Kane's contract kicked in?
($83m/$71.4m) * $10.5m = $12.2m
I bet Marner would settle for $12m.

Dubas: "We're offering you $9 million per year."
Marner: "Not good enough. I want $10 million per year or I'm not signing."
Dubas: "$11 million per year and not a penny more."
Marner: "Deal!"
Dubas: "Ha. Sucker. Another win for the Dubster."

He's the best player the Leafs have. Evander Kane makes almost the same as Nylander. He probably 2x the player Nylande is so he should be paid accordingly.

Kane's contract didn't include any RFA years. Marner's will include 4.

Evander Kane signed an entirely UFA deal. Nate Mackinnon is making 6.5 so Marner should obviously sign for 6!! Look I can find random totally uncomparable contracts around the league too!
Kane also you know....won a Stanley Cup. "Settle" for 12 million
I was being more than a little tongue-in-cheek, guys
Just seems like awkward logic to pin Marner's cap hit to Kane's, largely for the reasons you mention.

No they better be prepared to trade him. You can get great value for marner. Trade him before you sign him to an ass deal. The hype machine is out of control in Toronto and these guys are wanting to top one another for biggest rfa overpayments. If marner wants money than let him chase it elsewhere.
Oh look it's you again!
Matthews (and JT) play center, and are top 5 goal scorers in the NHL (per game wise).
Marner doesn't play center, is not a goal scorer.
Marner does not deserve the same pay because he does not do the two hardest things for a forward to do.
Chris Johnston told us what Dubas will do. He will give them an offer before July 1st and say this is our offer and if you won't consider it then we have to move on because we cannot pay you this. Marner's agents will likely laugh and try to sign an offer sheet. Marner will need to ask himself if he truly wants to leave because that possibility will become real. I think he "caves" (the offer will be fair but he could get more in an open market obviously) because he wants to be a Leaf.

Well it isn't exactly my job to do that.Good luck trying to convince Marner and his agent.
It's gonna be hard to ask that guy not to be pretty close to be the highest paid player on the team, considering he's very likely the best player on the team.
