anyone with more than 1 brain cell said that he will sign for more than 10 lol. you were right though.
I dont think anyone believed marner was worth more than 10... it was more just reading the situation and looking at the matthews and nylander contracts and realizing that marner would get what he wants

Bang on. It was hard explaining this to leafs fans. But those contract forced them into this situation with Marner.
It drove me crazy how quick they were to turn on him when he was holding out. It's not his fault the GM gifted crazy contracts to his teammates. He deserved to be paid accordingly.
If Marner signed his contract before Matthew's and Matthew's was the last one who had to hold out it would have been the other way around.
To be honest I never saw that agm. I probably would have said it was close on a 6 year deal. I did go through the comments quickly and only saw one leafs fan say he would sign under 10m.

yeah i agree. thats why i said what he'd sign for, not what he's actually worth.

I like the other two contracts. Marner is about 1m too high. So three rfa’s 1m too much... meh not bad. They are all signed and in camp so I’m just excited about this season.
It is not just Marner. When I said point would get 7.5 million for 3 years the same guys made comments on my total lack of a clue
People just getting tired of these guys and calling them out

My opinion is Marner 2 million Mathews 1.5 million and neutral on nylander. 3.5 million would have been enough to maybe get Gardner or another asset
Still they look good for the season but ain’t getting by Tampa or even Boston . Just my opinion

its an overpay right now, but when the cap goes up, it'll be fine. but they're gonna get fuxked when rielly and andersen have to sign.
I think many fans said said, quite accurately that the Leafs didn't HAVE to pay Marner over 10m. The fact that the Leafs did, that's their folly. Let's imagine the Leafs hadn't signed a contract yet, what were Marner's options?

Marner's dad and agent and the whole TO media circus had a lot to do with the inflated price too. It was such a distraction and I am not sure it could have been done any differently.
1) Nylander lost, he wanted 8.5 for 8 years and got 6.9x6 that is a pretty big drop.
2) Matthews was going to get more than 12.5 for 8 and the two sides settled on a term and hit they could both live with. I would have thought 11.6 or whatever he got should have been at least 6 but it's not a problem. Matthews is a star he'll earn it.
3) with Marner I think Dubas knew it was going to be 10+ or trade him and that may have not helped the team win so he did have to bend too far on that one. I'm not really bothered by it but I thought that hit would be on 7 years not 6. For 6 I figured it'd be 10.

Yes the media circus actually helped the leafs.. it forced Marner to budge and sign.. He said it himself
1) I wouldnt say 1.5mil is a big drop considering he would have 2 years longer on his term... infact it might have helped the leafs longterm if he was on a 8 year deal at 8.5 if he becomes the player you speak so highly of. he also didnt lose considering direct comparables such as Teravianan signed for 5.4 mil for 6 years compared to nylander 6.9mil for 6 years, and I dont think its wrong to say i would rather have Temu over nylander consdering the guy just put up 76 points. And Konecy signed for 5.5x6 years(where he has potential to be a 70 point getter)
2) Gotta stop saying matthews is a star so he deserved it.. No other of these team stars are getting the 5 year deals that matthews got especially at that money. Matthews got money and term. Extremely player friendly contract.
3) And why did it have to be 10+? because of the other stars. no other RFA is getting that kinda money. Kinda funny how you were the biggest and loudest one to say marner and his team had no leverage yet got the best deal outta any rfa so far...

What were the leafs options??? They cant have one of their top player out of the lineup for a contending year
