Good years is relative - is a 55 point guy worth $6 million - maybe, not an underpay for sure. He has hit 70 once and has had a 28 point (in 58 games) season to go with last year's stinker. I would take JVR hands down over this guy if it was the same money - that's jmo. Neither is good defensively. When he becomes a UFA in 2 years, what is he worth? If he gets $7 million like Phil - he becomes an eyesore the first bad season he has.

PS.

I would like him on the Habs too, if Bergevin trades Galchenyuk and a first for Duchene, I'll open a bottle of javex.

Fixed that for ya my friend..

Willie will outscore Marner. I would almost guarantee it. Barring injury he is going to ride shotgun with Matthews for 82 games.

Ill bet you Marner gets the higher point totals of the 2 for this upcoming season. care to wager?
