I just don't subscribe to the theory that Dubas is setting the market and I don't believe we are seeing any evidence of that, although still some big names not signed obviously. Remember it is not a free market in this case.
The point is that because they all count, when one deal appears like an outlier the effect is to drag everything signed subsequently either up or down. If Marner’s deal had come in closer to $9.0 m, then the conversation surrounding Tkachuk’s contract almost certainly changes as a result.
