You certianly don't want to point to Aho's 8.5 do you?
- RogerRoeper

Why not?

But he's not a centre and has a career high of 26 goals. The highest a non 30 goal scorer ever got was 8.5 for Draisaitl.

Check the list of highest paid players. All goal scorers.

Yeah but Marner deserves 11-12 million because of Tavares' and Matthews' salaries

MB certainly doesn't.

Why not?

Mitch deserves 8.5 then!

No time for that. Too busy pointing to Tavares' and Matthews' salaries as to why Marner deserves 11-12 million

Mitch deserves 8.5 then!
- RogerRoeper

No (frank)ing way. 11-12 million

When you try and set your value, you compare yourself towards comparables around the league but also comparables in your own team.

Aho is being paid 2.4M per year more than Jordan Staal (who's now 2nd salary wise). So he's being paid accordingly as the best player on his team.

Marner and his agent compare themselves to the other top players on his team (Tavares and Matthews) and want to be paid in a similar fashion.

As for how it turns out, who knows?

Guys I don't know about you all but I always point to Tavares' and Matthews' salaries as to why Marner deserves 11-12 million. ALWAYS!!

First thing I do in the morning.

Then I take a crap.

Actually, I think he does.

Can't you do both simultaneously?

Dumb question but why not get your coffee somewhere else?

What a load of crap. Staal signed his deal years ago when the cap and salaries were lower.

You just told me that Rantanen will sign for 6 million. Good luck with that. LOL

Unnecessary.

I guess I could. But I hate multitasking.

It's part of my morning routine along with black coffee and the resulting deuce

- RogerRoeper

So when you mention Draisaitl, who signed in 2017, does that count too?



OH poop SORRY

*points to Matthews and Tavares contracts*

Unnecessary.

Maybe he was referring to deadpoulet's morning crap?

I didn't say that at all. I said players will use comparables inside their own teams to set their value. That doesn't mean they'll limit themselves to a deal they don't think would be fair to them.

Stop trying to be a smartass, you're not very good at it.

How can Rantanen get more than Mckinnon then? It's worthless to compare deals from years ago. Both agents and Gms will point that out,

In all fairness, there are several top performers in this thread. Tough to compete.

No one has exceeded it, have they? Most recent example. I am fine with Mitch getting more than 8.5, but I am pointing-out the goals are not there for current highest paid NHL players, which incluedes guys signed the last few months like Matthew and Skinner.
