Tavares seems to be the person driving that line. Marner really shouldn’t get more than 9 at most.

Do you know what driving a line means?
Here are some stats I posted recently.

Love coming to the mainboards to see so called leaf fans who are really Nylander fan clubbers slam Marner by any hook or crook. Sad really.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

And they have to sign Reilly and Barrie next year.

Oh, damn you should tweet @ Kyle Dubas that he has to resign Rielly next year.

Where has any Leaf fan slammed Marner?

Where can I get those graphs? I would like to check my favorite players...thanks in advance

I like how there is only a Mitch Marner thread when no big name RFA's have signed yet. The Leafs aren't the only team that are having cap issues.

That guy is talking out of his you know what.

If you attempt to paint a tainted picture of the leading point scorer on the team and then advocate for a lopsided contract relative to others on the team, I'm going to guess you aren't part of Marners PR team. Stop playing so innocent,
This is childish

Wrong.

Huh? No, I am not part the Marner'PR team. I don't understand what you you are attempting to communicate.

 

[Leaf Fans]

That is what it appears to me.

 

[Peasy]

Actually, Kucherov had just scored 100 points when he signed that contract.

He scored 128 points in year 1 of that contract.

Nope, Kucherov's new deal actually kicks in this up coming season.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Wrong.

*muzzin and barrie, both may be able to fit as well, tho 1 more likely

Just because some Leaf fans don't think that Marner should be the highest paid winger in the league doesn't mean that we are Marner bashers. I for one think he's an amazing talent but lets not think that Marner wouldn't have the season he did if Tavares wasn't centering his line or maybe Tavares wouldn't have had the season he did without Marner.

Barrie for sure.
Leafs are in far better shape at LD than RD. Dermott should be ready to fill Muzzin's minutes by then.

There were RFA wingers that made far more as a percentage of salary cap than what has been proposed here. I've actually seen this tidbit echoed by some sports pundits. It is a lazy claim that can be refuted

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Yeah it's the exact opposite as during the season / when they sign him he will be amazing again

How many Leaf fans haven't said he's amazing? What many have said is he isn't their best player, which is true. Don't confuse the Leafs embarrassment of riches as something other than what it is.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

The fact that Lily hasn't had a shot with the leafs tells you all you need to know. He was way overhyped at the start of his draft year, and once scouts honed in on him, red flags were seen. Look at guys like Hughes, Dhalin, both turned pro in their 1st season. Lily wasn't held back because he was on a stacked club, the leafs biggest need has always been an RHD. He just isn't very good.

Lily didn't get his shot because GASP he was injured. You can look it up in the interviews if you like. You sound like the guys that said he didn't look very good at WHJC who obviously weren't bright enough to realize he wasn't even there because GASP he was injured.

Are you even aware that over the past two seasons he has played roughly one season's worth of games?

 

[kihei]

That is what it appears to me.

It amazes me how Leaf haters feel they have to make things up just to support their narrative. Stick to the facts, turkeys--there are plenty of things to dislike about the Leafs without resorting to childish fantasy.

 

[Seanaconda]

Yeah his contract doesnt kick in till now but he did extend after the 100 point season.

But he was also 2nd in points behind McDavid for the 2 years of his bridge he played before extending

 

[sharkhawk]

I remember watching Rob Brown score 49 goals and 115 points in only 68 games when he was a year younger than Marner. Point totals tell you one small slice about what there is to know about a player.

John Tavares is not Mario lemieux

 

[sd1976]

Again that’s proving my point. He signed for 41.77 for 6 years, but he’s not playing a full 6 years so he should have lost a few mil for the games he sat. But he didn’t lose any money, still getting 41.77 for 5 and 3/4 years. In reality it should have been 41.77 prorated to 39 or whatever for the time missed which would make it 6.5 AAV

You may want to look at that again. Its basically 2 separate contracts. 1 year at 10ish million and 5 years at 6.2 that take the total to 6.9.

 

[sd1976]

John Tavares is not Mario lemieux

No, but he is a superstar in today's NHL.

For the first 3/4 of the season it was easily Marner driving the line and he was easily the overall best player on the team, just like he was the previous playoffs and the last 1/4 of the previous season. It sucks to say for our cap but he deserves as much as Matthews, but neither deserve 11.6 really.

Can't say I disagree.
