Market value is the most probable price that an asset should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale. I terms of hockey contracts, comparables are the best indicator. Which is why I listed them.
If you look at UFA signings in 2021, Coleman got what the market was dictating - Markstrom too (for 2020). I mean Markstrom is paid about the same as Binnington, Hellebuyck, Grubauer, and a little less than Gibson and Murray. and far less than Vasilevskiy, Bobsrovsky and Price.
