You’re right. I actually did the math and forgot to change it. I still think taking on an extra 4MM over 5 years is worth it for florida. That top line would be one of the best in the league.
Not sure how you do math. Marner's total compensation is $49,358,000 left on his contract. Ekblads is $35,000,000, meaning Florida would pay additional cash of $14,358,000 over the next 5 seasons.
From a cap hit perspective, Marner's cap hit is $54,465,000 over the duration of his contract and Ekblads is $37,500,000. Florida taking on over $16M is more cap.
Stop trying to suggest the math is in the Panthers favor.
