welcome to hell, chiller.
Marner is not Matthews. He is not a Center. Does not score as many goals(they are more valuable in the league thats a fact). He is by far better than Marner. Matthews is Franchise, Marner is Elite. There is a difference
Marners best comparables
Kanes 2nd contract - 6.3Mil/5 years - 11% of cap, that is 9mil/5 years in todays money
Aho agreed he is worth 8.5mil/5 years and Aho is the same age, plays center, drives play better, is better defensively and scores more goals
Point - rumored between 8.2 and 9.2/5 and he is better than Aho and Marner.
And ok Mitch wants 11.5/5. Thats not in the realm of reality. Mitch has no neogitiation rights, no arbitration rights and has rumoredly turned town Offersheets due to term or wanting to stay. Even if that is a lie no one has done it to him. And now how many teams can actually do it. It aint happening. Mitch has lost all power.
Sorry Mitch, we have your comparables and fair deals for others around the league. Agree or keep living in a fantasy land
