Pastranak has put up 70 and 80 points the last 2 years (with 35 and 36 goals) and makes 6,666,666 / year
Nylander 61 points each year, 22 &amp; 20 goals
Marner 61 &amp; 69 points, 19 &amp; 22 goals
Nik Ehlers 64 &amp; 60 points, 25 &amp; 29 goals and makes 6,000,000 / year
So when people say they deserve 7+ million, you need to look at the numbers closely. Pastranak is a much better goal scorer, and puts up more points so theres no reason Nylander or Marner should make more than him. So look for them to make something in the low 6 millions. I love them, but no reason to overpay</div></div>

Pasternak is a pure goal scorer playing on the line with one of the best set up centers in the league with Bergeron. Marner has bounced around the top 3 lines. If Babcock kept Marner Matthews Nylander together they would all be 80+ point getters. Marner was drafted in a top 10 heavy class, I if was drafted in 16 instead of 15 he would have been a top 3 picks - he has just as much skill as Matthews and could command close to 7-8 mill on the open market. If they aren't willing to pay, he probably won't sign a long term deal.
