Marner at 6M Gardiner at 5 and a half

Not even in Dubas wet dreams

Your post got rid of the period between the fives and i thought you were getting gardiner at a term with 55m total contract. disappointed to see a 5x5.5 sitting there...

He'll definitely leave it and look to sign an offer sheet if you think that is legit. A guy does not do a "show me" deal when he has already scored 94 points. So if it is short term, it will not be at much of a discount.

Also, you are looking at Drai and Gaudreau in hindsight. Drai had come off a 77 point regular season, Gaudreau had come off a 78 point regular season. Not comparable to 94 points.

Meier just signed a very friendly 6m per over 4 years deal and had 66 points...so yeah try using that as a comparable in negotiations...

That gards contract lol

Nylander got $6.9M for 5 years, with point productions of 61, 61, and 41 (27 pts. in 54 games equates to .5 a game, or an equivalent production of 41 points in 82 games).
The $6M value above is a joke.
He will definitely sign an offer sheet at $10M for 5 years rather than $6M for 3 years. Someone will pay that,
