I can't belive marner ever got 10.9. Every other guy on there either earned it or is honestly gonna be worth it

Toews, Kane, Karlsson, doughty, price, bob, Ovi. Subban, Josi, they all proved for years that they were elite before cashing in.

ok maybe throw seguin in the same catagory as marner

Personally I’d only give that kind of money to McDavid. If he makes $12.5 mil, no player in the league should be over $9 mil. I just think he’s that much better than the rest of the league. Plus it’s crazy that Kuch and Ovi are the only ones on here who’ve won a cup after signing the contract above. Almost as if these huge deals are bad and prevent you from winning. Rip my Rangers.

Keep that same attitude when y’all qualify Barzal at 10 million.

What? Barzal has played up to his 7 mill AAV bridge. If you watch the islanders, you know how important Barzal is to that team. Dude has been on a team thats made it to back to back ECFs. Let me put it this way. Barzal last year won more playoff series that marner has in his entire career. Barzal put up points with leo komerov on his wing

Barzal Qualifiying offers is 10 million…

That wasn’t a smart bridge deal lol. You’re pretty much paying 10 million for a centre below ppg that’s been carried by his team defence and not his play.

Also to your point Barclay Goodrow won back 2 back cups does that make him better than Barzal and Marner? Playoff success doesn’t equal better player. Better regular season stats equals better player.
