and, more saliently, even if he was all the things LOF paints him as, he STILL would not likely be worth the contract he received based on relevant market comparable contracts.
Already did if you read above. They're mocking that he hasn't actually hit that 100 point number, as if missing it by 0.11 one year matters.
Please.
Don't see him because you've got to take the state tax situation into account, and even if you don't, just because someone else got signed for a relative bargain doesn't make our guy overpaid. Kuch is underpaid.
Just his empty netter last night was something that 99% of other players wouldn't be able to do.
I definitely think he's a complete player. He's second to none when it comes to his instincts and IQ, stealing the puck, trapping it, anticipating what the opposing player is going to do and getting in the right place to make a play or break one up.
I mean you know C > W and G > A, which this analysis completely ignores
I don't think anyone is arguing that he isn't one of the best 5 or 10 wingers in the league.
30 year old goalie out of nowhere ..... reminds me of the Bruins and Tim Thomas.
Yes, but one was paid as a UFA, and the other was not. Nearly impossible for JT not to be overpaid. Still think it was poor cap management to immediately send Marner to the top ten cap hits before he finished his ELC. Still like the player though, and he isn't the cause of any cap issues we've had, really. We've lost no one from the core because of him.
The beauty of this team is, it depends when you're looking.
