Gee the very comparable Aho get 8.45m for 5 years. Leafs should be paying maybe 8m for three years. All these high priced RFAs are waiting for one of them to sign to gauge the market value.
These RFAs are waiting for the Leafs to make a mistake & overpay.
Mikko Rantanen, RW, COL
Brayden Point, C, TBL
Patrik Laine, LW/RW, WPG
Matthew Tkachuk, LW, CGY
Brock Boeser, RW, VAN
Kyle Connor, LW, WPG
As much as people want to blow smoke up Marner's *ss - the Leafs are not going to jeopardize a damn thing.
They are either going to
- Be firm with their public known 8yr offer
- Take four first round pick compensation from an other over paying NHL team
- Wait Mitch Marner out
- Wait for one of the above RFAs (ie Rantanen) to take a realistic offer. Heck probably a team friendly offer like his centreman has.
Rant at me if you wish - the kid doesn't deserve a sent over 9mil regardless of the term. OK maybe more for 7-8 years but not over 10mil.
People seem to want to idolize Marner like hes a god.. you think Nathan MacKinnon isn't as good or better? That's a true star player & a true team friendly contract.
If you ask me, Leafs are better off forgetting about the Toronto homeboys & take on some Nova Scotians that truly sign team friendly deals.
