Thread: Marner UFA not stupid enough to trade for him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>That’s hilarious. Well looks like Marner is going to the KHL then.

Draisaitl and Rantanen will set the price for Marner.
Drai is worth 2-4 mill more
Rantanen is worth 1.5-2.5 mill more

Both can play Center and both show up in playoffs.</div></div>

Clearly you don’t know how UFA works.

Marner currently makes $10.093M, he’ll be looking for a raise on a new contract, especially if he hits UFA. Next seasons cap is projected to be $87.7M and then the season after that is unknown right now but let’s say it increases another $2.5M on the low end. So that’s roughly $90.2M

Now back to to Marner’s current cap hit - the $10.093 was signed at a cap hit percentage of 13.38%. So even if he signed for the same contract when he hits UFA, then 13.38% of $90.2M is a little under $12.1M and that’s for not even a raise so there’s the base number. Now add in that it’s a UFA contract and players that are free agents always get more on the open market since there will be multiple teams bidding on him. &amp; whether you love him or not, there will be a bunch of teams looking to sign Marner, I’d guess between 5-8 serious teams. So if a team wants to outbid the other teams, you’ve gotta offer something more than what they have to offer which is usually more money.

Now let’s look at a comparable - William Nylander. We can all agree that Marner is the better player (if you can’t then you don’t know a single thing about hockey). Nylander’s cap hit percentage is 13.77%. So now that’s the baseline - and 13.77% of $90.2M is just under $12.5M so that’s the REAL STARTING point for Marner. Add on that he’s a UFA and an extra $500K for all the reasons listed above and the fact that the cap should inflate over the term of the contract and now we’re at $13M easily..

So yes. As a UFA $13M+ is what Marner is looking at. He’ll likely be between $12-$12.5M if he re-signs with a team before he hits UFA but that will likely be with the extra year at the end.

There’s your lesson in hockey today. It’s not all about if YOU like the player. It’s a business first. &amp; Marner is an asset that brings in money to a team and has the comparables to justify a $13M UFA contract whether you like it or not.

Thread: rebuild rookie team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Yep, not taking any advice or insight to creating ACGM's from a person who will not create any of his own, most likely too afraid to hear others tear it down.

You like sharing your opinion but don't want to listen to other peoples opinions.

A little sensitive guy, I guess.

Dowd would have already got traded for a 3rd Rd'er but the Caps was hoping for a 1st or 2nd.

You get what you pay for, comparing Dowd to Glendening, Glendening is about half a million less value in talent.

Thompson is career Ahl Dman, who would clear thru waivers every time.

Good day sir.</div></div>

You have absolutely no clue on Thompson Glendening is doing exactly what they wanted out of him plus plus . Have an awesome weekend.
