I'm going to be unhappy with anything significantly more than Aho

You should be ready for a 3 year deal between 9-10.5 million imo

Ugh. I hope not. That's such an overpay. I'd like to wait for Rantanen as he should certainly set a ceiling for Marner. Marner should make less than him

I agree but rantanen is also waiting for marner to set a floor for him it’s a crazy circus. Marner isn’t even the best rfa available

He's the third best forward now and was (IMHO) the fourth entering the offseason.

Point
Rantanen
Aho
Marner
Then Tkachuk, Meir, and Connor in some sort of order

And that doesn't include Laine because he is so hard to place. Prior to this last season he looked like he could be this generations goal scoring machine, putting up ludicrous goal totals. Then he hit a ****ing wall in December. I don't even know how to place him.

And you can’t use point as a base for a marner contract either because of no taxes in Florida
