Tavares destroyed his career high in goals and points once paired with Marner...
Marners point totals increased because he was 21... Tavares was in his prime when his stats improved.
Yes. Mitch Marner would still produce point per game numbers without an "elite" centre on his line. 100%.
Marner is an elite winger. He might be overpaid slightly but by 1-2 million tops.
When guys are producing like Marner, that kind of overpay is fine. Its the Lucic, Backes, Eriksson, Ladd, Okposo contracts that are insane overpays.
Marner is delivering more or less close to his pay. Are their better contracts out there? yes. Slight overpay

Taveres point increase was 2 point and goals total was 9 idk about you but I would not consider that destroyed career highs. Also is increase in goals just shows how good he actually is because he has always been the playmaker but when he had marner he need to be the finisher to maximize marner.
Marner has a increase of 25 points. Sure u can say age and experience but to think he would produce at same or even close to same rate without Mathews or Tavares is just crazy talk. Panarin and Kane are only wingers in the league that don’t need center to put up elite point totals and marner is not in the same league as those two.
While, he is easily over paid by 2 million since he didn’t sign 8 year deal. I do agree with him being so young and only getting better contract will not kill the team like the other contracts u mentioned.
That all being said marner is a very good player and will continue to put up elite numbers because Matthew or Tavares are not going anywhere. But it does not make an elite player.
