Your scenario would’ve worked if the Leafs isn’t overpay their other 3 star forwards greater than their market value.
Matthews’ market value is 11 million but he got 12.
Tavares’ market value is 10 million but he got 11.
Nylander’s market value is 6 million but he got 7.
I am not including the UFA market or bidding war factors into their value, it is solely based off performance. Marner’s market value is worth 8.5 million but since all the other 3 forwards got paid 1 million more than their market values, why shouldn’t Mitch? Also, he is better than Aho. It’s not just about what position he plays, Marner’s skating, agility, stick handling, dekes, dangles, creativity and vision are all superior to the Finnish centre. Also to think Marner deserves to be paid less than Skinner is beyond ridiculous.
