If you give Marner 6 mil a season, Conor Brown is licking his lips and will to be asking for 8 mil a season ... just keeping it real and ignoring the hype
Unless Nylander and Marner really turn it on the rest of the season and put up 70+ points I seriously doubt they get above 7mil per
If either of them has a hot week and a half (i.e. 8 points in the next 6 games), they'll suddenly be on a 70 point pace.

Right now the three of them make around $3M total (before bonuses) their new contracts will likely total around $24M.......so where does that additional $21M come from?

Nylander and Marner, both seem to be struggling just to get a shot on goal.Unless Nylander and Marner really turn it on the rest of the season and put up 70+ points I seriously doubt they get above 7mil per
12$$$ MatthewsJust do it for $25M or less. Don't care how it's broken out.

I think that's a flawed way to look at it, though it's an approach many people take. Why not instead look at the contracts we have signed for 2019-20(Marleau, Kadri, Martin, Hyman, Brown, Rielly, Zaitsev, Andersen, Kessel's retention, and Horton LTIR for 38.6(33.3 ignoring Horton). That's 41.4 in space if we count the LTIR as full relief for simplicity. Give 25 million to the big 3 and that leaves the following roster with 16.4 in space
Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - ______
______ - Kadri - Brown
Martin - ______ - ______

Rielly - ______

Grundstrom, Liljegren, Dermott fill 3 holes for about 2.7. You can fill the backup slot for about a million or less. Suddenly you're trying to fill a 2RW, 2 4th liners, 2 extra forwards, 2 top 4 D, and an extra D for 13.7. Kap is probably 1 of those for about 2 million maybe(that's a tough contract to guess). You could bring Gards back for 6 million, and you've got the following lineup with 5.7 in space
Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Marleau - Nylander - Kapanen
Grundstrom - Kadri - Brown
Martin - ______ - ______
______, ______
Rielly - ______
Gardiner - Zaitsev

Backup
Considering we've still got options like Soshnikov, Johnsson, Leivo, Bracco, Brooks, Timashov, Aaltonen, Gauthier, Carrick, Borgman, Rosen, Nielsen the ones that work out will be ready by then then filling most of those spots for cheap shouldn't be too difficult. Rielly's partner may be an issue, but there's also the cap going up twice probably for an extra ~4 million, as well as the possibility of moving Martin and/or Marleau with how their contracts are structured.
1 major issue would be the bonuses carrying over from 18-19 which includes Matthews, and Marner's. I would like to get those off the books next year.
I don't think Marner even gets 6. If he has a so-so season I can see a bridge deal perhaps
Since Marner will sign a year later I think he will get slightly more than Nylander.If I had to guess
Matthews 10.5 Nylander 6.5 Marner 6
Matthews could get even more though; depends on if he takes a discount or not like mcdavid did from 13.5 to 12.5.
