Lol at people watching stats and commenting like pros, specially those old States people. If you want to know how much Marner means for the whole team's offense, go ask Tkachuk, Dvorak and anyone who plays with him. Marner is a special special kid and same can be said about Strome too, he is also a good player.
But Strome never had been the 200ft player Marner has always been (from his midget years). Strome has never had elite skating, let alone at Marner's level. One of the top assets Strome has is his height, and I watch enough junior hockey to say that he uses that size good enough protecting the puck and in the corners but he is not physical like Getzlaf and the case can be made as someone like Thornton.
Strome has really good shot and his wrister is absolute elite for NHL level right now. Marner has great wrist shot but he has so much creativity with his puck handling, dekes, dangles and shiftiness that Strome can't even match. Offensively speaking Marner is much more gifted than any player playing in junior right now and defensively he is absolute best for any junior forward playing right now. If only he had height like Strome or Matthews or Eichel, he would have been playing his whole OHL career as a center and would have given a tough fight to Eichel.
But Marner was very short and his skinny frame didn't help him play as a center right off the bat, but he is no Kane, he was 5'11.5 in combines and has genetic growth from his family and might end up as high as 6'1. I would just say one thing that if you really want to appreciate a player's game and how he plays hockey, gives 100% from start to the end on both sides of the ice and really enjoy yelling OMG, wow and holly ****, watch Marner in the world juniors, because every time he is on the ice he is gonna amaze you with something and I bet my money he will not disappoint you and will be the best player on the team. I have only enjoyed watching McDavid more than Marner.
