Quoting: Jakethesnake97
He was 20 y/o when he did 69 pts and he will be a top 10 point scorer for the next 7-8 years. I agree with you that goals are more valuable, but he plays on the first line, on the PK, on the PP (everywhere). I personally think that he will sign more than 10 million per year.
38,33,28,37 and last year : 47 goals. Marner is a big part of his success too. Marner is more creative than JT in the offensive zone.
Here are the top goal scorers over the 6 years BEFORE Tavares joined the Leafs, ie Marner had NOTHING to do with this
1 Alex Ovechkin 268
2 Tyler Seguin 189
3 Sidney Crosby 188
4 John Tavares 188
5 Patrick Kane 186
6 Jamie Benn 184
7 Joe Pavelski 183
8 Vladimir Tarasenko 178
9 Brad Marchand 177
10 Max Pacioretty 173

(PS Ovechkin is really special, and Pacioretty was probably underappreciated)
Same 6 years points:
1 Sidney Crosby 507
2 Patrick Kane 459
3 Alex Ovechkin 453
4 Jamie Benn 436
5 Claude Giroux 434
6 Nicklas Backstrom 432
7 John Tavares 419
8 Tyler Seguin 416
9 Phil Kessel 414
10 Blake Wheeler 414
(Side note, Kessel is underappreciated as a playmaker, and really is a stud, he just can't lead a team by himself, he is one of the best second fiddles though)
So again BEFORE becoming a Leaf and playing with Marner and his help, he was 4th in goal scoring and 7th in points over the last 6 years.
Where did he rank last year in goals and points? 3rd in goals and 16th in points.
Scoring was up last year, Marner was part of him scoring more goals, but frankly scoring was just up which was a large part of it to. When compared to the league his production last year was actually pretty similar to where has has always been.
