while I dont buy the, you have to replace Marners 100 points thing. there is more too it. Like the 2 players you mention take other players spots or push others down..who would have also produced.
but these are the /82 game production for them
Macelli 46
Roy 38 (41 over past 4 seasons)Both those are prob on the low side, but maybe they dont play full 82
I get what you’re saying hence my low estimates but who are they replacing? Kampf, Jarnkrok, Reaves, Robertson? Hell, those 4 didn’t even land 50 last year.
I won’t miss Marner, he’s got great hands and he’s a fantastic passer but he’s simply not worth what a Canadian team would have to pay to keep him around. Keep targeting the American players Toronto, that way you give it all to them as a bonus July 1st while they live in the US and only pay them league minimum through the season just like you do with Matthews.
