out of everyone on the leafs only guy i can say got overpaid is Marner as honestly what Rantenan got should have been what marner got
Nylandermakes 6.9 mill and almost had 40 goals that makes him a good trade chip.
Tavares was gonna get significantly more money from San Jose with i believe 2 years less term. Islanders i believe were gonna pay 10mill. So leafs were in the middle
yep but at least its only a mill. Honestly Dubas should have saw the Rantenan contract and said look that guy is on par with your skillset and is making that. Why should u get more. Marner threatens to leave to columbus Dubas says sure 4 firsts come back Dab
Like Honestly if Marner signed 9.25 for 6 (like Rantenan) nobody would be complaining as he has the potential to reach 100points when healthy
I know kosk had a rough qualifier but overall I’m not sure he’s really overpaid. He had a decent year and is under 5mill for a starter at that price point I think oilers are getting what they paid for. The qualifier was unfortunate rust he’s not significantly better than that but is better.
Tavares isnt overpaid (turned down a bigger San Jose Contract).
Marner is overpaid but by only a million
Tavares should never have gotten over 9.5 that would have had Mathews in the Same 9-10 range Leafs should have made Marner and Nylander sit a year or trade their rights for a reality check. Marner should be at 6-8 Mil like Duchene Nylander between 6-7 would have been ideal. None of that really matters now though. What really matters is how to fix the issues. Obviously Tavares and Mathews stay, Marner you take offers on but unless it is an unbelievable overpay I think you keep him too. Nylander can be replaced by either Robertson or Kapanen so trading him for a top 4 RHD would be ideal. Perhaps Nylander to Calgary for Hamonic and Jankowski would work for both teams
