Marner 10 mil

if leafs trade nylander, then u cna sign marner at 10. but i think he'll take 8.5 to 9

He's a winger, and that is insane. The media blows all this up and I really don't understand why GM's put these rumours down.

I am literally listening to someone compare Eichel to Marner in support of giving Marner 10 million. Marner is a winger they should never get paid that much.

Agreed, he's worth between 8 and 9

Also that Eichel contract was really premature, I understand he's Buffalo's franchise player but he really didn't put up the numbers to be worth 10 mil on his elc. I'm sure he will be worth 10 mil at one point in his career, but I haven't seen it yet. I hope the leafs don't do the same

Eichel is a star, anyone who says otherwise hasn't watched him play. I agree his contract was a tad premature but he's worth it. I'd trade Marner for Eichel in a heart beat but only because he's a centre. Also I'd never propose that trade because I love Marner but Eichel is better.

Based on this season has progressed so far, it might be in the Leafs financial interest (not necessarily best interest) to sign Matthews and Marner up for 5 years deal, which has been a trend with some of the bigger superstars that ultimately signed max term deals on their very next contract. That would at least give them wiggle room to get other stuff done. If Matthews and Marner come in at $12 mil and $10 mil, respectively, along with $11 mil for Tavares, you can not only count Gardiner as gone, but I doubt Leafs could keep Kadri long term. I know it's a little ways away, but if the Leafs are looking long term, they have to consider Reilly's next deal. At this moment, he's playing like a $7-8 million AAV kind of defenseman. Hopefully the cap keeps going up, but I wouldn't be surprised if the "hard" cap is changed to a "soft" cap in the next CBA, which would certainly benefit the Leafs.
