see how this works

Yeaper Buddy that’s what I was explaining to you!!!!

thank buck....when I think of buck rogers, I think of the old expo manager. not making trades and just signing your rfas seems to be a lost art on this sight. of course young players...and borgman, rosen, ozhignokov aren't that young, but the leafs are depending on them to be cost efficient players in next few years. if not good enough it's trades or ufas.

I don't see Oz making that much, he wont be getting big next contract like Zaitsev, I wouldn't be surprised if the leafs are a little gun shy moving forward. This is the "can he even make our line up" year. And then next contract will be, "prove you're worth more than this". I wouldn't be surprised if his next contract is more on the lines of one year at 1.25-1.5. As for Nylander I think he wants the same contract as Marner, not in the sense of money, because unfortunately he hasn't been performing as well as Marner, but term. He wants 8 years, he wants to be on this leaf team forever, for that reason I think we will see Nylander at 6.25-6.75 over 8 years. Which I think is good. Nylander has center potential and 80+ points potential, that contract becomes a steal real quick. Finally, a note on our Europeans, and this in my opinion is the issue with signing them. They are going to make decisions based on 3 things: Minutes, money and destination. If I am Rosen, I didn't cross the pond to play on the AHL or warm a bench, so if we aren't offering him a full time spot he is gone. Same goes for Borgman so a choice is going to have to be made. I love him as a cheap option but I just dont see the value in paying him 1.3 to warm a bench, at the end of training camp I wouldn't be surprised if it is a roster spot, trade or back over seas.

Sorry for the rant guys lol.

Kapanen, Johnsson, and Marner are all more than likely to make more. Add about a million to Marner about 500 k to Kap and about 250k to Johnsson. Although those number could change depending on their seasons. If Marner has the kind of season he is capable of playing the whole year with Tavares his number could increase and Both Kap and Johnsson could put up 40 Pats seasons as well. Going to be a very slippery slope to navigate.

If that's the best deal Marner's agent is able to get from TOR, he'll be fired on the spot. He doesn't deserve anything less than L.Draisaitl. And please anyone, don't throw the "centers makes more than wingers" argument since it had clearly been demonstrated, in the past, that it is not the case in 50% of the time (by me, in particular : see this https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/163186&post_id=565382 reply #13).

If you compare the 2 players (production, ice-time, Pts/60min, draft position, player pedigree, etc), there's really no way Marner is worth 7M$ & Draisaitl 8.5M$. And if we go by cap %...Marner SHOULD get more than 8.5M$ (9 007 350M$ exactly if Marner also gets 11.33% of the cap). I'd say 8.3 to 8.5M$ is what he ends up having.
