But why should he? He's better than Matthews, and he (rightly) thinks he should be compensated as such
- jcragcrumple


He's not better than matthews.

He got more points than him in two seasons.... that's it... and that's definitely not everything.

So myuch is being said about Marner but let's be real, he is not involved in Contract talks, his Dad and agent are the ones in talks with Dubas and thats the problem.

Let's be real... if mitch doesn't take responsibility... then he's acting like a child. he's a grown man... be accountable. I could see blaming the agent during the season, or even the first few months of the offseason... but when it's gone this far it means either mitch is just a dummy and scared to talk to his agent... or its mitch actually saying no to the offers given to him.

That is actually debatable.

Marner had more points
Marner's +/- was way better than Matthews(+22 to -9)
Marner Kills Penalties

Matthews scores more goals- HOWEVER 37 goals and 73 points and still being a -9 does not look good on Matthews.

Marner had 1 more Power play point than Matthews - not a huge deal
Matthews had 18 more shots

Marner is way more important than people think he is.

The Flames buy out Stone and a month later re-sign him.
I did not think you could do that.

oh well.

Those numbers don’t lie.
But let’s not forget the linemates factor. I don’t think it would be near the same comparison if Matthews had similar caliber linemates as Marner. Mitchy should grow a pair and sign.

Debate away...plus minus is 5 on 5 only. No way you could kill penalties and have a +22.

Here are some relevant stats:

Love Marner, but he can't make more than Matthews.

He turned down 7 years at way over what Kucherov makes.

Leaf fans do you think Marner has a case to want the same contract as Matthews?

The problem with this argument is Matthews played 68 games to Marner's 82. Auston leads the NHL in 5 on 5 goals since entering the NHL, and judging a player's ability by Babcock's usage is crazy. Matthews is 38th in TOI among ccs. Does that mean he's not that good?
A different coach and Matthews would be playing a ton more.

Love to see Marner’s stats without JT or Mathews on his line. Marner is good but is he 90+ points good without Taveras on his line?
