Salary Cap: Marner Deal Discussion Part IV

[MyBudJT]

Considering what Kucherov signed for as a ufa producing far more points... and what Kane signed for cominng off his elc with VERY similar numbers to Marner...
somewhere between 11 and 12% of the cap, depending on term.

That's not merely what I think. That's what a very VERY clear precedent states. Anything higher than that would be flat out unprecedented.

I thought Shanahan specifically said that the leafs wouldn't "set the market"? What a colossal failure this has been.

It was Dubas.

I think you're preaching to the choir a bit here. We'd all love Marner to sign for 9.5M (~11.5%). I think thats fair market value. However, when Nylander and Matthews both sign > 10% market value, you'd expect Marner can too. That would put him at approximately 10.5M. I can tolerate that if it is 6+ years.
