Ok...lets try to break this down in steps on why it doesn't make sense.
When you make a list of best players at defense and on wing, where do these players fall? Makar is consistently a top 1 or 2 defenseman while Marner falls further showing up usually in the 4-6 range.
Having said that, which position is usually viewed as more valuable? Right defensemen are widely considered the most valuable position while wingers are much more available and viewed as the least valuable.
Now assuming those are both true, which player has more team control left on their contract? Makar has 4 while Marner has 2 and more term is more valuable.
Seeing that, which player is also earning a lower AAV?
For all these reasons and more, Makar is significantly more valuable than Marner.
