Dubas doesnt even make the call!!! No need to block.The GM in Columbus is not childish and blocks the number after a proposal he or she disagrees with immature behavior like blocking number only exists on the board. Kekäläinen may say no to the proposal, but he is a professional.
Jones is better than Werenski in the here and now. And it's not even close.wow he scored him by 21 points in 1 more game when Werenski was only 20 and 21? How about we focus on the now as in this season. Nothing gets more overrated than certain defenseman who can play D but aren't that great on offense so people prep them up to be top 5 defender in the league in this thread which honestly has to be joke from my perspective.
Well about 50 more points...... but in all seriousness jones will be getting a BIG raise and the gap be closer. Marner is not cheap but 94 points comes with a price tag especially when your 22.What does Marner do exactly to be worth 5.5 million more than Jones? You could have Jones and Rielly for Marner's sticker price

I'm wondering which is going to be why Marner gets the points he does. It's either that happened because he plays with Tavares all of last season and now it's because he plays with Matthews. However other people say Marner is the driver of those lines and why they are getting goals.Why would Columbus care how many points Toronto squeezed out of Marner playing him with Tavares and on their PP unit?

Except Werenski isn't inept and is actually pretty good on D so your point makes no sense? I've watched the Jackets before I hardly notice much of a difference between either of the D-man that makes a clear gap between them.

My reply was more of how people think of Marner. Some say Tavares was the reason he got 94 points last season and others say it was Marner who made sure Tavares had 47 goals. Now that he's on a 5v5 line with Matthews some people say Marner is the reason why he's scoring at a higher rate than usual, where as others say Matthews would be doing that no matter who was on his line.So why did Matthews get goals last year when Marner wasn't playing with him? How does that work?
Marner wants it.This is a rip off for Columbus. Nobody wants that contract ...
What?So you get to pay 5 million for the equivalent of a Kevin Labanc difference? Even less considering the year before Marner barely edged out Jones?

Obviously they would do it for a massive over-payment as the Leafs would do it if Columbus included their next 2 firstsColumbus might do this if TO included their next 2 firsts or 1 first and retained 25% on Marners contract. Otherwise I cant see how they would even consider it.

I see it as just that. Neither player is a legit mega star.I dont see it as a massive overpayment. Jones is waaaay more valuable at this point than Marner. Marner is a really good player but a small playmaking winger is never going to come close to a guy like Jones. Unless the winger is a legit mega star. Which Marner is not.
Just curious what does Marner need to do to be considered a mega star? Is getting 94 points not good enough? In the end he's still an elite winger or do you even question that?I dont see it as a massive overpayment. Jones is waaaay more valuable at this point than Marner.

He is a star and an elite winger as Jones is a star and an elite defenceman, but to me, a mega star is McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin.Just curious what does Marner need to do to be considered a mega star?

That's a fair assessment.He is a star and an elite winger as Jones is a star and an elite defenceman, but to me, a mega star is McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin.
