Went with Reinhart since he still has higher potential if he somehow hits it, but Brown's making it very close.

Went with Reinhart.

 

[DatSnipeMatthews]

Brown is trending upwards and Reinhart is stagnating and nearing bust territory in terms of draft position.

Why are there so many joke polls involving Leafs players recently?

Joke?
only thing that's a joke is Reinhart being on the ice for 5 SH goals already.

I'd rather have brown for his stronger defensive play.

This one is closer than some might think. I'll go with Reinhart, but not by much.

I'm actually surprised this poll is as close as it is. Even while "stagnating", Reinhart put up 11 more points in 3 less games last year while playing with worse linemates and a far worse team. Reinhart is also 2 years younger than Brown.

People like to rip on Reinhart for being a bust, but people forget he's only 21.

My first instinct was to vote for Sam Reinhart but when I think about it both are very similar players. Smart, cerebral, skilled, playmaking wingers who play the game the right way. Connor Brown has an extra year of development under his belt.
Sam has put up more points in a single season, nearing almost 50 but he did so playing more minutes with time on the PP whereas Brown's points were primarily all at even strength.

Connor Brown - 1.63 P/60,
Even strength points - 29

Sam Reinhart - 2.07 P/60
Even strength points - 30

Close. Would be fun to see how Brown would respond in a top 6 role. Reinhart does have the ability to play C and I wonder if the Sabres see his as a C down the road.

I'll go with Brown for no other reason than tie goes to the player I like more.

Brown pretty easily, really not seeing an argument for Reinhart. Draft position means nothing at this point in their young careers. Brown's just better at everything.

 

[Morgs]

Reinhart is better at pretty much everything (except he doesn't PK, and Brown is very good at PK) and is two years younger. This whole Reinhart "is a bust" thing is already getting old. It's really not his fault he's on one of the worst teams in the league (no offense Buffalo).

Love me some Connor Brown, but this shouldn't be close.

Could be worse. He could be a Hab.

Reinhart and I'm a huge fan of Brown.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Right now, Brown.

He brings more to the table.

 

[bigbabybuda]

Leaf fan saying this is not particularly close. Reinhart is the better player in almost every regard, despite a bad 2 week stretch to start this season. Conor Brown wasn't even in the NHL when he was Reinhart's age.

 

[Brobust]

Probably Reinhart.

But Brown's a very good player as well. Good enough to force his way up Toronto's stacked lineup.

 

[izzy]

toronto fans in here voting for brown SMH omg

 

[Ducks in a row]

Brown last season had 20 goals 16 assists 36 points in 82 games playing for one of the best offensive teams.
Reinhart had back to back season with 40+ points in 79 games playing for one of the worst offensive teams both years. Reinhart is younger.

I can't say Brown is better yet he might end up that way just not yet.

 

[Panthaz89]

Weird when you start a thread like this when Sam is actually on a 2 game goal streak...

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Still Samson but wow it's funny that we can ask this now. It's pretty close, and if Sammy keeps struggling I'll have to give it to Connor.

 

[Leafsrock95]

I'd take Brown to be honest. Not a fan of Reinhart and never was. Brown is one of the hardest workers in the league and when he is in his prime he will be a fan favourite and hopefully still a Leaf.

Being 2 years older doesn't bother me that's good for Sam but means nothing. Some players take longer to develope Brown didn't get rushed and it's the reason he's doing so well now. A lot of players much better than Reinhart weren't even in the NHL at his age anyway so it really doesn't matter.
