Quoting: Emoon02
What do u think they're getting?
Nylander only gets 7 on an 8 year deal.
Nylander is almost identical to Ehlers in terms of points, being a Leafs fan, I think he is a bit better, but not by much, so 7@6 is fair.... BUT
The cap has gone up, and Ehlers signed last year. Given that, it will range from between 7@6.5 to 6@6 possibilities include:
6@6 <-- Nylander caves in negotiations/team discount
6@6.25 <--most likely
6@6.5 <--- Second most likely (and not far behind)
7@6.25 <--- Nylander caves in negotiations
7@6.5 <--- Third most likely (team slightly wins in negotiations)
8@7 <--- the 8 year deal option
Marner is not that much better than Nylander. The difference right now is role, and Marner's role is far more important. If Marner were up now, he would get about 500k more than Nylander, but honestly, I would not be surprised to see matching contracts. BUT...
Marner's contract is not up now, its up next year, that means we need to factor in a cap increase, his higher ceiling, and the fact he is playing with JT. He is a 70 point player right now, that puts him between 6.75 and 7.25 (6 year contract), I figure if he gets 80 points, he gets 6@7.5,90: 6@8, 100: ? Marner is a wild card in this, so many possibilities. Possible outcomes range from 6 to 8 years, 7.25 to 8.75 mil:
6@7.25 <--- Same thing as below, but slight discount
6@7.5 <--- most likely (80-87 ish points)
6@8 <---- 90+ point season, is completely dominant
7@7.75 <----- 85+ points, very dominant
7@8 <----90+ points very dominant
8@8 <---Second most likely (80 points)
8@8.5 < (90 + points, very very dominant (100 points?))
Matthews is actually the easiest of the three, He is looking for something between McDavid and Eichel, JT is at 11, and left something on the table, McDavid also left something on the table, 8@11 is a natural fit.
Possibilities include
6@9 <---- very unlikely, but an interesting idea
7@10 <---- similar to the above
8@11 <--- what he will get
8@12 <---- Wins Rocket/Hart/Conn Smythe
