Thread: Screw it lets get marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chris1022</b></div><div>That’s what they offered Panarin! I love Barzal (spell it correctly), but he is no where near as good as marner. Barzal is worth 8-9 million</div></div>

Panarin wouldn't cost draft picks would he. Putting Barzal on a line with marner and he puts up even 90 what do you think he will demand? You are also banking on teams helping you out of a situation that now has inflated every top RFA by 25% in salary how many teams are going help you and not want top prospects, core players or a 1st you now don't have. Also, i have been saying since last offseason that marners value is round 9.5 seeing he would have only one 90+ season so take him and watch the side effects of inflating his contract. Before you say MTL sheeted Aho he was offersheeted at market value hense why teams had no issue.

Thread: Good luck marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mannyhannies</b></div><div>Our cap is not an issue. Nick Leddy can be moved (most likely for a first + prospects) and that clears 5.5 mill. He's been on trade block all summer. Then, Hickey, 2.5 mill AAV, is also on trade block. Isles have an abundance of young defensemen, so we can trade these players. Ladd and maybe Clutterbuck go on LTIR (Ladd is often injured, even if he comes off, chances are he lands back on it).</div></div>

The problem is LTIR is for players injured at the time not for players overpaid. Also, teams may give you less due to that NYI or whoever does this have messed up the cap for everyother team this is why no Top RFA has signed Marner will be what everyother player will get in relation to production/position.

Thread: Screw Paul Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>dude they already screwed that up with Nylander.

Also you can stop calling Marner a winger. He can play center. He's done it before. And he's not a Kucherov type winger anyway. He's a Kane line winger, who was also one of the highest paid players in the league when he signed his deal.</div></div>

He maybe able to cover at center but he has never been considered to play center even last year when Matthews got injured and why though a talanted playmaker he is to strong enough to play center. He actually in Junior was put on the wing and Tkachuk was the center in London due to it. Also, Nylander had a bad year but his market value was around 6.5- 7 thats where most analysts and scouts had his value. Was it close to that?

Thread: Screw Paul Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDream_43</b></div><div>and Kane was a winger who signed for 10.5 million as a UFA.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Marner is as much a winger as Kane or Panarin. They may play wing, but the offense goes through them. You can just stop that lame argument right there. Because much like Kane, he's going to be one of the highest paid players in the league when he signs his deal.</div></div>

Exactly and the league took Kane's contract as an isolated situation seeing Teows took 2 million less on the premise that it went to Kane. Also, Panarin is going to be closer to 9.5 on a 7 year deal especially seeing he has rumoured to be only interested in a NY market and has only really 1 team bidding from that matket.

Thread: Screw Paul Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>No one has yet to make a logical reason he should take less than 11.6
Which is where I believe he will sign.
THis is hockey. Players don't have to play second fiddle on the ice. They can be put on their own line. But that also means they are going to want paid.
The shelled out big money for JT last year. Come tell me you would rather pay JT 11 million a year than Marner. And you will see rather easily why he's going to get paid.</div></div>

How about the fact no team in their right mind will make marner the highest paid winger. This is due to that it hurt them in future negotiations. For example if a team like the islanders did Brazel is now worth 13 million due to he is putting up similar numbers and a center. That's just an example of the mess just within the team cap wise. Then every other team will be pissed at you for doing this cause every player comming off RFA are now worth almost 10% more than they are based off this contract. Ask oiler fans how much it helped them offersheeting i read somewheres where 75% of the other teams refused to trade with edmonton in that period unless they overpaid due to compensation they felt they deserved for inflating RFA contracts.
