People would have a right to complain. Marner is still overpaid if he is a 100 point player.
It was already shown that 100 point players are worth at most 9.5x8, (and that’s with 7 ufa years.)
Are the expectations borderline unattainable? Yes. But he did this to himself.
You have a real tight rope on Marner don’t you jeez. You should go look at what the qualifiers are on some of the bridge deals that were signed for Players not as prolific.
Dubas has done a good job by signing the three Amigos of Marner,Matthews and Nylander. All potentially 80 pts per season players that are a stabilizing position for 5 years.
Dubas signs or convinces Tavares to leave the Islanders. He comes in and scores 47 goals and helps Marner get his contract elevated with a career high 94 points.
Barrie and Muzzin can play as a #1 pair on any team in the league or a 1 A- pair at minimum. He trades for these guys and gets a top defensive center in Kerfoot for good measures
Drafts Sandin,Robertson, signs Mikheyev, trades off Marleau and Zaitzev at a cost that he can afford because the assets and quality of the team at the Nhl level permits this.
This management group is so cutting edge that you don’t even get it it so stop skipping like a broken record on the Marner overpayment that is currently existing.
Even Cici has proven to be astute evaluation by this management group to really slap malcontents in the mug hard. A bit of a overpay on Marner, a bit of a overpay on Willy,a bit of a overpay on Matthews who gives a rats
@SS !
Willy amazingly and quickly looks like a value contract already!
Matthews as a elite goal scorer no, THE elite goal scorer in the league easily debate that his contract is entirely acceptable compensation for the game breaker he is.
Marner can be slagged even if he scores 100 points you say! Thats madness my friend.
Dubas gets no credit for how completely astute he has been for us.
I completely appreciate this Management group. Just sayyyyin
