Kerfoot- not bad signing

Ceci- are you mad. You want to pay less good ziatsev 4.25x3. If we had another right D option id let him walk. 4.25x1, pay 3.8M in bonus. Try and trade him for any other right hand D. If thats even possible..

Marner- yep, definitely mad. Meiers just signed for 6x4. Even better comparable Aho, who plays center, same draft year and is arguably equal on offense, way better on defense, Carolona Aho. signed for 8.45x5. Marner on a 6 year deal, using that is like ~9ish, maybe. Thats even a hair high Thank you Bergervin for the offer sheet. That with Mitch not getting any offer sheets, he has 0 leverage, his value is back to Normal.

the new russian dude that Mike B said has a spot should be in the lineup somewhere

If you think Marner isn't going to get over 10 then you're "mad" buddy, he has plenty of leverage considering the only comparable he cares about plays on the same team as him. If Matthews got 11.6 for 5 years after Marner was the leading scorer for the team in back to back years, what on earth could possibly make anyone think that he'll take anything less than 10? You'll be lucky if he agrees to anything under 11, only way that happens is if it's shorter term. As for the offer sheet, let's wait a few days and see what happens.

Its been a week, no offer sheet is coming. And if some moronic team(i hope the islanders) goes and hands him a 12 by 7. oh please, and let him walk. thankyou for the 1sts.

He should be under 9, but probably mid-9s MAX to get this crap done. I love you say the only comparable he cares about is Matthews...Well if thats marners thought he is dumb. They arent the same. Dubas will hold up 10 charts and say look, this says you arent matthews, you may want to be, you may think you are as good as him, but no. There is no comparison. You don't get to pick your comparable in life, everyone else based on data, stats, previous signings sets your comparables up.

9Mil/6
7mil/3
10mil Max/8

remember this

I think that's a common sentiment among leaf fans that Matthews is that much better than Marner, but just because he scores more goals than Marner doesn't necessarily make him a better player. Marner's vision and passing ability is right up there with some of the best playmakers in the league.

But yeah, I'll remember that, let's see who's right down the road.
