That's not really true. 1sts can vary significantly in value depending on where in the 1st they are. You're highly unlikely to get anybody close to Marner's impact for just draft picks, unless we're talking multiple top 5-10 picks.If you offer 2 firsts in one season, you can get almost anyone you want.
14 years is even better than 11.All i do know. Is i want marner a whole hell of alot longer than 6 years. So yes 3 and 8 at 11 years locked in would've rocked my socks
Even in a down year, through injury, Marner brought significant impact. You don't need an elite shot to be a high-end player, and it doesn't make him one dimensional.Right now all he has shown is that he is one dimensional with a weak shot. He also wasn't effective this season.
Of course Matthews is better. That doesn't make Marner any less important.Matthews is the better player and it's not even close.
It's interesting that fans call Marner selfish when they are the ones demanding that he undervalue himself and willingly give up millions in earned real life earnings, solely in order to help the form of entertainment that they enjoy. The truth is that Marner took a contract within his comparables. The only thing that makes people think otherwise is a refusal to accept proper contract valuation.I think people are upset with how selfish he comes across. He forced the leafs to overpay.
There is literally nothing that supports Marner only being worth 8.4m x 6 years.marners contract (about 2.5 million too much)
This completely ignores what Draisaitl actually was when he signed his contract years ago, not to mention the fact that he signed under a lower cap. If Draisaitl signed now (or even when Marner signed), he definitely wouldn't be making 8.5m.Look at Draisatl's stats his past two years, look at what he's making and for how long, then wonder again why many of us feel he's overpaid by $2.5m
