Does Marner’s contract look better being paid nearly 11M but for 6 years opposed to 3?
Prior to the pandemic the talk was a cap raising to 88M but obviously a global crisis has changed that.
Not sure how our leading scorer making $7M is a problem but I guess it is because... Flames

Odds are the cap will be 81.5 when Tkachuk is an RFA and odds are we try to extend him after next season. I bet his next cap hit ends up being around that 8.5. So imo this could end up great for the flames. If he had 4 years left at 8.5 his contract probably ends when the cap is going up again and you might be looking at 7 years for 10. I like 2 years at 7 followed by 5 to 7 years at 8.5 to 9
