The difference is toews hadn’t just signed a bigger deal before Kane signed his.

He signed the exact same amount which I understand your point

5×9 would be perfect, considering kane played a huge part in a championship before his ELC even ended

I could see 9M/3yrs. It's an big overpay, but apparently AM had a similar three year offer in the 9Ms, IIRC. That should satisfy Marner's need to get the same treatment as Austin.

I can't see the leafs offering a 4 or 5 yr deal, and it appears Marner doesn't want a 7 or 8 yr deal. A 3 or 6 seems most likely to me. That, or he ends up sitting

Depends on the structure. I think 9.5 is a fair contract for Marner. But if you structure it like this it would be fair but because he is asking for $50M per year on a 4 year deal he wouldn't accept
Year 1 - $8M - 7.3 SB
Year 2 - $8M - 7.3 SB
Year 3 - $11M - 10.3 SB
$9M AAV and year 3 would give him an $11M QO on a one year taking him straight to UFA if he accepted

It's fair, I just worry about trying to re-sign both Rielly and Marner in the same off-season. I would assume Kapanen gets traded for pick(s) or an elc player, I would think that Johnsson would be moved as well (depending on what happens to Andersen in 2 years).

I think that number is very fair for the three year term.

So you suggest 8.75m for 3 years. Matthews signed for 11.642 for five. Aho which is very comparable to Marner 8.45m for five. Hence the conflict, Marner thinks he as valuable as Matthew (and he might be) so he thinks 10m X 3 is fair, Leafs probably think 7.75m X 3 is fair. And here we are five weeks away from training camp.

Not saying you number is wrong, but just showing the the justifiable variables in any deal.

It could be a 10.5 at the end if you'd prefer. I just think it's the best way for Marner to get paid and the Leafs to get under the cap

At the time they signed the contract, probably Toews was the best player on the Hawks. But hard to argue when they both won 3 cups and a Conn Smythe.

Marner isn’t the best leaf?

Any contract Marner is going to get will be no longer than 5 years anyway so might as well do something like this to keep the cap hit low
