i'm curious as to what your reaction would have been 2 weeks ago if someone compared Aho to Marner. something tells me they would have been world's apart back then.

Dubas might be in the driver's seat but the car's about to careen off a (frank)ing bridge.

I'm not stating Marner should settle for 8.5 like Aho, but 9.5? Absolutely. Aho is a Centee and very good.

It's very convenient to only take goals into account but I doubt Marner's clan accepts this logic.

Bottom line is: He's been just as good or better than Matthews last season and he wants to get a similar salary.

It's not "Convenient", it's NHL facts. The highest paid players are all elite goal scorers among forwards.

Panarin had 2 goals more than Marner and signed for almost 12 a year

Yes more goals+ a UFA+he signed for 7 years. Marner wants that $ as an RFA for 5 years.

That would be the only difference but I'm sure you've notice the trend, one that was greatly influenced by Toronto, where star RFA skip the bridge deal and go right to the top dollars.... Marner wont be any different and I dont think he settles for anything under 10

What's fair for Marner?

11-12M, if we point to Tavares' and Matthews' salaries.

So I am wrong? Non-Goal scoring wingers make as much as goal scoring centres?

He should get top dollars just for having to put on that stupid ugly jersey

That's not the "NHL facts" you stated but continue moving the goal posts

Loui Ericksson and Lucic make as much money as MacKinnon, you are wrong.

Note to self: mention a Leafs player in a thread and a fight will follow for sure.

Up until McD, Price and Toewd were tied for highest paid...and most years Kane is 25-30 goals

So signed contracts are not "Facts"? Ok...

At least the fight won't make it past the first round....

Mackinnon signed long ago.

First you just said goals. Then it changed to goals and being a c vs w. Even then it's not accurate. Toews, Price, Doughty, Karlsson all say what's up?
