Pavel Datsyuk's first 50ish playoff games he scored something like 25 pts. PPG talents can evolve to become good post-season players.
He's a good player but I have a hard time paying that because I have a hard time believing he is going to put as many points in Nashville. I could be wrong, maybe away from Mathews he shoots more but I doubt it.I’ve actually warmed up to the idea of getting Marner. Not sure getting him at 11M+ is beneficial for building the rest of the roster though.
Perds tax puts him at probably a 75-85 guy (though FF9 put up 94 this year so maybe there's been a reprieve). Not worth $11M long-term, but if he would take $9.5 in a lower tax aituation?He's a good player but I have a hard time paying that because I have a hard time believing he is going to put as many points in Nashville.

For that kind of money I'm going to need the 99 point version rather than the 60+ or 80+ point version. I'm also going to need the 80 game played verses the 55-60 version as well.
Truth is if I'm paying that kind of money I want a 40g/60a guy not a 25g/60a guy.
Economically, $9.5mm probably puts him on even footing with $11.0mm in Toronto, once you factor in tax rates and COL adjustment (but man, Nashville is getting out of control). The tax savings aren't as big as a lot of folks think, as they also have to pay local/Canadian tax based on the number of games played in each area per year, but having 41 home games in an income-tax free state still makes a big difference (plus they get a few games in Texas and Nevada (also no income tax) due to being in the Western ConferencePerds tax puts him at probably a 75-85 guy (though FF9 put up 94 this year so maybe there's been a reprieve).

There isn't a lot from Montreal I find all that intriguing they'd be willing to part with. Also don't think they are in much of a need to address the crease immediately, like Toronto may be.Here is my dream situation Toronto and Montreal get it to a bidding war to try and get Saros. Montreal needs a goalie too.
If and I repeat if Nashville is considering extending Saros, we could be at square one where it’s Saros vs Askarov in terms of trade valueThere isn't a lot from Montreal I find all that intriguing they'd be willing to part with.

Remind me of his playoff series wins again?Marner has 50 points in 57 playoff games. Last year he had 14 points in 11 games. I don’t see how that’s disappearing.
Stone has 77 points in 102 playoff games
Tkachuk has 52 points in 55 playoff games
If we're talking about Saros for Marner, Saros hasn't exactly won a bunch of series either. The truth is that isolating any one player's ability to win playoff series is a fool's errand.Remind me of his playoff series wins again?
At 11 mil, there are no excuses. You should be able to drive your teams to success. It’s no coincidence it’s Marner who’s on the hot seat in Toronto.If we're talking about Saros for Marner, Saros hasn't exactly won a bunch of series either.

Marner is on the hot seat because they need a scapegoat and he's potentially tradeable if he waived his NMC. Anyone in their right mind would rather get rid of Tavares, but nobody is going to take him on. Matthews is clearly not going anywhere. Nylander just signed his new deal. That leaves only one and a fanbase that is out for blood if they don't make a major change.At 11 mil, there are no excuses. You should be able to drive your teams to success.

I just think Marner’s a loser personality just like Gaudreau and Huberdeau are. You won’t win anything with those guys.
Actually Marner is "on the hot seat" (aka being shopped) pretty much because his contract is the only one moveable. They aren't gonna trade Matthews, they just resigned Nylander and no body would touch Tavares.At 11 mil, there are no excuses. You should be able to drive your teams to success.
