Brady Tkachuk vs Mitch Marner

[Golden_Jet]

You guys are as hung up celebrating your semi finals loss as Leaf fans of two different age brackets are about the early 90s and late 90s/early 00's Leafs lol. I don't even argue the Leafs aren't pathetic! I'm simply saying the team you are a fan of and it's fans aren't exactly better in most regards, just fewer of you.

Chill, I was just correcting the false things you said.

Said this before playoffs and I’ll say it again. I’ll take the guy who isn’t waiting for his balls to drop yet.

I just find it hilarious how leafs fans are all proclaiming golden boy Marner as the best thing since sliced bread ITT and arrogantly suggesting there is no valid debate and that no one would pick Brady over Marner for their team, he's on another level, AINEC and all that BS, and yet Marner just keeps folding like a lawn chair when it matters in the playoffs.

3 pts, -2 in 5 GP in the 2nd round. Goose egg last night in an elimination game at home. Gets bitch slapped by Matthew.

A lot of GMs would pick Brady over Marner to lead their team.

I don’t get the huge knock on Marner…I do t think he’s the best thing since sliced bread, but what makes B. Tkachuk better? Marner has had good stats in the playoffs, team at least won a series this time….but he gets dragged for not being able to get it done in the playoffs….B Tkachuk hasn’t even been able to get his team in the playoffs…so I don’t get the huge draw to him over Marner. M Tkachuk hasn’t been a huge force so far in the playoffs either….perhaps I r he first round, but didn’t see much of those games…I saw all of his games in the 2nd round though and I don’t remember much about his shifts…he had 2 assists the entire series.

For clarity…I’m it Leaf fan, but because I live in the area, I’ve defaulted to watching a lot of them these playoffs

Intangibles. Supposedly Tkachuk has them in spades. According to most, Marner does nothing in the playoffs.

When comparing Tkachuk and Marner you should not e allowed to talk about playoffs…but I guess if you do…Marner has been so much better in the playoffs than Tkachuk

That is a weird and confusing thing to say once, let alone to repeat

 

[Leaf Fans]

Depending on how much Ottawa adds, I would take Brady.

I have unhealthy hatred for a player on my team. My apologies lol

There is nothing intangible about the way Brady Tkachuk plays hockey.

Meanwhile, take it from this guy:

Watching Marner coast in important games got old a while ago.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Hopefully you’ll get a chance to see your team in the Finals.

It’s a fun time.

Or conference finals a lot of leaf fans weren’t here to see the last one of those either

lol 33 pages...once again all Sens fans had to look forward too this year is the Leafs losing in the playoffs. Congrats boys.

Sorry to disappoint but I live in Montreal and let me tell that Sens fans is a very microscopic portion of the hockey fans looking forward for the Leafs elimination day.

Depending on how much Ottawa adds, I would take Brady.

Check out the contracts... Ottawa is not the team adding.

Yes, they are.

 

[Xspyrit]

Yes, they are.

Which NHL GM would rather have the 26 y/o 1.2 PPG playmaker with 2 years left at $10,903,000 vs the 23 y/o PPG power forward at $8,205,714 with 5 years left?

With a similar contract? Sure

But in a very very tight cap era? No.

Teams need more cap space to strengthen the rest of their roster

 

[Byron Bitz]

Marner is clearly better than Tkachuk and this is coming from someone who has been quite critical of Marner.

i guess it's a question of potential. can brady get to his brothers level.

Teams will use a little more cap to get a better player.

Sometimes things are bit more complex than simplistic. You have to dig deeper

Marner is a good 2-way winger and one of the best playmakers out there but Brady is younger, cheaper and an unicorn powerforward. Plus he's the team captain and a lot revolves around him

Of course, they are. That is why I do.
Brady is an excellent player. Marner is just better.

 

[viper0220]

I want to see Brady Tkachuk in the playoff.

You lost me here

 

[Leaf Fans]

You lost me here

Wow that was easy.

Well, read again. It means nothing
