If you go by league value for contracts, he does deserve $11+.

Well, his team has a lot to do with setting that market price, having paid two of their players that amount.
Marner was 11th in scoring, and the 11th highest salary currently is $10M (Eichel). On the other hand, aside from Eichel, McDavid and Matthews (and Toews and Kane back in the day), no recent RFAs have gotten that much. Is Marner worth as much as those guys? Is he worth as much as Matthews?
