Nah go long term less money

11.25M x 4 years just looks bad

Could make sense for Willy.

Cap is projected to be $100M in 4 years.

Marner's current deal was 13% of the cap. I get Willy will be 31 but if he has 2/3 100 points seasons it's not absurd to think he gets an 8 year deal at $12.5M then.

Especially since McDavid will have resigned by then for likely $14M+.

Makes sense for him but no team will give him that little term

Its either 6-7 years open market or 8 years here

The short term stuff has sucked but now isn't the time o stop. Why sign him to 35?

I heard both Nylander and Marner will take Team friendly offers same as Captain Underpants did.....oh wait...

why the f would either of them go for 8 x 11M if Matthews commanded 5 x 11,634M after two consecutive 60+ Seasons and he was on the way of 90+ points ( i believe it was 32 Games, 37 Points ) at the time when he dictated his contract and "helped TML". Not to mention the latest 13,250M one .....

Marner has three 90+ Seasons notched on his belt now ( going for 4th ) and Nylander has two 80+ Seasons and projecting 130 this Season......

THINK AGAIN

Finally someone who is observing whats happening with other "big" TML contracts and isnt riding the wave of : " TML are so precious anyone should beg to play in the Team " as every homer on this site do.

Will just quote myself here, so i wont lose time re-writing :
