Wow! Smart agents who held out! RFA's just hit the jackpot when Marner signed for about $11M AAV. Who comes close? Point is a Center, but I don't think he cracks $10M. Tkachuk is a well-rounded complete player. I think he'll be well over $8M. But, when the dust settles, I think Marner's deal will still look like an overpay. Can the Leafs ever win the Cup w/ $40+M tied up on just 4 players? All of whom are Forwards, too. Also, did Dubas diminish an otherwise good summer by overpaying Marner (If you believe Marner was actually overpaid, some people don't)?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
