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

You are comparing Marner a winger to Centres. Drai was signed to be a centre. Centres are worth more than wingers typically. I do agree with what people are saying tho his salary will depend a lot on if they sign Matthews first and at which price tag.
