11 mil he would have to sign for 8 years, even that is debatable

That is still massive overpayment. 8yr limit should be 10 per.

Also as for Lyubushkin.. Ozhiganov 2.0 but also blocks shots and hits..

Not a good overall player but for that price shown there Id take him.

Well I have been super against overpaying Marner the whole time, but the way I looked at it was we all know is value should be 11.1% of the cap over 5 years, thats the absolute max using the Kane comparison, which he should be lucky to have.
Every contract offer and structure usually adds about 6% per year to eat up UFA years over the last while and it seems right. Add that into the 9 mil and you sit around 10.75 mil and IMO he slightly overpaid Nylander by about 5% from what all other contract comparable players said he should have made and the same with Matthews so even with me arguing against Marner all the time I have to agree that he should be entitled to the same 5%.
Thats my thoughts
