Couldn't agree more on cherry picking comparables.
Where does that Marner kid get off making AM his only comparable??
He isn't worth AM money, AM is a 40 goal scorer and Marner isn't. Period.
I don't even think Marner sets this market, Point does.
But 10.2 or 10.3 isn't AM money. You are 1.5 million off almost at 10.2

If I can't cherry pick 4 winger comps that, in their contract year, all outperformed Marner against the league, then please, what comps shall we use?
Finding comparable for Marner is hard because you are looking for guys who came in and had instant success at some level and then had 90 point year on their contract year. The amount of players who hit 90 points in a year are already small, to have done it in their 3rd year and had 60+ points the prior 2 years in the league is almost non existent. But you can't sit there and honestly say that Pasta signs that contract if he had two 60+ point season prior to his break out year. He doesn't because he has more leverage to say it's not a fluke year. At some point you have to be honest about it.
What makes it even harder is that most of Marner's points are in assists. It's not like you are looking at AM, McDavid, or Point who are racking up 40+ goals. If that were the case you could probably find a comparable easier.
He'll never command a salary as high as AM or McJesus.
You could very well cherry pick a Jack Eichel and say, oh look he deserves 10 million+ which is why I said you can't just cherry pick the ones you want and ignore the reality of it.
