He's slumping. Only a goal and an assist last night.
He should quit.
I think he needs to call Barzal and ask for advice.
Leafs on a Florida road trip?
Completely dominating the best teams in the OHL will help elevate your stock. Ranking up numbers vs the Sudbury's and Guelph's of the league is one thing. Putting up almost 3 ppg in back to back series vs two of the best teams in the OHL shows he can dominate even the toughest competition in the league. Very few guys can say the same.
Dvorak isn't a top ten pick, he was picked in the late 2nd. He also put up alot of points last year with Rupert and Dvorak as his line, and did it in the playoffs last year with Rupert and Sterk on his line. My guess is though you have no intention of looking at this objectively. Gotta love the factual incorrect statements you make to.He's still putting up pts in junior with two top ten picks on his line. It's obviously impressive but I don't see how it predicts NHL success.

Edit: Look at the list of players who broke 2ppg in the OHL while leading there team in points at 17, it consists of Lindros, McDavid, Thornton, Tavares, and Marc Savard, (make it draft year and it add Kane and Spezza had the highest PPG on both teams was traded mid year) or how about guys who put up 2ppg in consecutive years, its just him and Tavares.
Meant to add a qualifier of the last 30 years, but thanks for adding Tony Tanti. The modern set up the OHL I don't think was fully set up back then, plus it was 80's scoring was absolutely insane at that point. But thanks to going back to an era where regionial restrictions weren't in place (hence Hawerchuk and other talented players went to the Q).Tony Tanti was also in 17 year old 2 ppg crowd...

Edit: Also very selective choice why not also list Brian Bellows? or did that not fit your agenda........

There's a chance but I don't expect it. Barring an absolutely disastrous camp, he will get 9 games to prove himself in the sheltered middle 6 line, with 2nd line PP time. Leafs are fairly deep at wing, and barring a trade he will have to take a spot from another young guy trying to make the team. Personally, I think he makes the team full time. A summer focused on adding some lower body and core strength should allow him to play in the NHL next year. Unless Leafs brass still sees him as a center long-term, I don't think there is anything he can learn in London (and even then its still questionable).Any chance he stays in Junior?
There are very few players who would not benefit from another year of junior, but Marner is the exception.

Agree37 points in 14 games is incredible. But becomes alot less impressive when you consider his linemates has 4 less points than him and is also technically on verge of history. And also another linemate is near 2 ppg.

I mean when McDavid did it last year, Strome had only 22 point in 20 games and the next highest player had 24 points to his 49

Which 2?
It's funny isn't it? I bet Dvorak is more lilely to be be a disappointment than Marner. Marner has also been proven to be the driving player on his line.
The amount of times Marner does all the work for tap ins from the other two don't reflect on stat sheets.
