Panarin was an unrestricted free agent.

and he had a longer resume. This doesn't play into the narrative that Marner is the only big RFA with a contract to sign. Just ignore all the other ones too.

Well that's pretty easy actually. List of RW that make more than $10M is:

(1) Patrick Kane

That's it. Kane was also a first overall pick that won two cups before signing that deal...and the Hawks haven't been out of the first round since.

Patrick Kane signed his deal in 2014. That's an irrelevant comparison.

Kane's contract was about 17% of the upper limit of the cap for the 2015-16 season.

A $10.5M deal for Marner in 2019-20 season would be about 13% of the upper limit of the cap.

I heard Mitch Marnerov is looking at a 15 year, 200M KHL deal.

What until he finds out what the exchange rate is on the Ruble!

I think this is starting to matter less and less..........especially after the leafs gave Matthews an INSANELY player friendly deal, as an RFA

Yeah, they did.

He would have got it somewhere. He knew it, and they knew it.

Panarin a LW is making $11.62 mil a yr. He had 28 goals and 59 assists for 87 points. His ppg average is just under 1 for his career. Numbers that are almost identical to Marner's. Marner is also younger than Panarin. As for Kane a RW, when he signed he was making 15.22 percent of the cap. Panarin is making 14.29 percent of the cap. I believe Marner should making a least Panarin money. So 14.29% of 81.5 mil= $11.65 Million/yr. That is the least Marner should be taking.

sebastian aho and his 83 points really took a big haircut from panarin.

interesting. i can 't think of a single reason as to why.

bergervin must be the best negotiator of all-time.
