Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Steven Stamkos. All players that did 5 year deals, and I think it worked out financially for all of them...

Crosby - 8.7 AVV - 17.30 % of Cap
Malkin - 8.7 AVV - 15.34 %
Toews - 6.3 AVV - 11.09 %
Kane - 6.3 AVV - 11.09 %
Stamkos - 7.5 AVV - 11.66 %

Average percentage of cap here is 13.296, With a 83 Mil Cap that would put Matthews at 11.06 Mil

Average without Crosby 12.295, Matthews 10.2 Mil. I think this makes more sense, Crosby is one of a kind

For Marner I think we have to convince him for 6 years. You wouldn't wan't Nylander, Marner, Matthews all coming up at the same time, with Tavares still on the books

Nylander - 8.75 % of the cap (excluding first year)
Gaudreau - 9.25
Pastrnak - 8.89

Not going to do an average for this one because I think Marner has outperformed all of these players on his ELC. 10.25% is probably fair which would give him a 8.507 Mil AVV

** I know these are just estimations still, not saying I've cracked the code for contract numbers. I'm just trying to make a more educated estimate

I think it's pretty obvious at this point we can't afford doing 8 year deals for both of them. At least on of them has to do a 5 or 6 year deal
