Sorry but your comparables are a bit outdated. Only way Marner gets less than 7 is if he resigns this summer. He might do it too but the cap could hit $80mil most the guys you mention signed when the cap was about $10 mil less
Ry Jo - $8
Drasaitl - $8,5
Kuznetsov - $7.8
To me these are the new comparibles. Ry Jo and Kuznetsov were closer to UFA but all got close to 8 or over 8. Marner is going to get 7 unless it's a bridge and I doubt he goes for that.
If he waits until he hits RFA status the cap could be $82-$84. That will get him 7 for sure
It's like saying Mcdavid won't get $12.5 because Sid and AO got $9.5 and $8.7 their 2nd contracts. Each year there is a bit of inflation
