Everyone seems to only look at playoffs and stats and forgets age, cap hit and contract length.
Marner is a top tier player, nobody is saying he is not, but he is older, makes way more money and his contract is shorter where as Seider is controlled for many years. What fans forget to look at are the whole big picture not just points.
Lastly Toronto fans seem to go back to is that the Wings have not been in the pl layoffs for 7 years, but until the Leafs drafted guys like Marner, Nylander, Reilly and finally Matthews they were in the playoffs once in 11 years. So please do not use that tact, because they seem to forget that. Stevie is trying to rebuild the Wings, a team that berift of talent and need to be torn down and rebuilt. He has drafted well, made some good trsdesand is trying not only to get them back to the playoffs but make it so they are built for the long haul.
