Drouin vs Marner

[Cats2TheCup]

This one made me laugh, comparing a 60 point rookie to a 25 year old who's best season was half that. Then you wonder why folks get blasted around here. Let me know when Drouin hits 60 points, what a joke lol

Isn't Drouin 22?

 

[Halla]

hmmmm

dude who hit 53pts the season he turned 22...or dude who hit 61 as a 19 year old

0.74ppg vs 0.59ppg

Marner by a fair bit

 

[Halla]

Isn't Drouin 22?

yep, turns 23 before the end of the season.

 

[Halla]

Drouin. I think Marner has been pretty overrated. Drouin has less support around him in Montreal.

ahha what? he played with stamkos,kucherov,hedman etc in TB and never even came close to 60pts

Marner draft +2 =19g/61 pts.
Drouin draft +2 = 4g/32pts

whats to overrate there? Marner and it isnt particularly close

 

[VoluntaryDom]

both of these youngsters underrated league-wide. as of now about even, marner moving forward. ill vote marner in the poll.

 

[ole ole]

Drouin.

Yes but Marner was being compared to Sven Baertchi(sp) lol

Drouin is HIGHLY overrated. This is easily Marner

I watched Marner tonight and you can see HUGE skill just a matter of getting his confidence back. You can see he needs the confidence back and he is gonna be killer again for the Leafs. Just people gotta be patient right now IMO

 

[authentic]

That made no sense.
Drouin.

Yes it did.
Marner.

Drouin is in his 4th season and his career high is 53 points playing for Tampa and we're supposed to believe he's better than a player who scored 61 as a 19 year old rookie? That has lol written all over it.

 

[Halla]

I'm amazed Drouin has 45% of the vote. there really are a lot of habs/dont like the leafs posters arent there?

Drouin is putting up a 16g/54pt pace, which will actually be a career year for him
draft + 5. still doesnt touch what marner did as a 19 year old rookie

What is Marner doing as a 20 year old? Rnh was a near ppg player at 18, look at him now

What Marner did as a rookie is great, but what's he doing now? He's on pace for 6 goals this season. If I had to choose between the two on my team I'm taking Drouin.

nah

as a tampa fan, drouin scored his 53 points without good linemates and with issues with his coach. drouin was a really damn good player here. I also did vote marner though.

doesn't he have like a 3% shooting percentage? definitely sustainable lol

 

[ChiefWiggum]

Drouin if he puts it all together.

Marner is a great playmaker, but I think Drouin is shiftier, quicker, faster and a better shooter.

RNH also plays for one of the most inept organizations in hockey. Not to mention he's been spotted as the shutdown guy because of his supposed defensive prowess. If you have him competent wingers and a good healthy amount of offensive zone starts, I'm sure he'd beat his career highs right now.

As for this thread, Drouin has been given every opportunity to succeed in Montreal. At the start of the year I might have given him the benefit of being a center but clearly that experiment had gone to shit.

Marner is having the worst luck of any players I've seen in a long while even including Willie. Once he figures things out he'll be back up to producing 60-65 points.

Crazy part about the leafs this year is thst two of their biggest young guns are struggling to put up points and the team is still leading the league in goals. They as a whole are playing like hot trash for the majority of the year so far and they're still amongst the top 10 I'm standings.

Umm... Marner's numbers rank below both of them.

 

[tony d]

Close but Drouin for me.

Doesn’t change the point I’m making

An unintended point may have squeaked in: Marner is having the worst season of the three.

You realize what Drouin was doing at the same age, right?

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

I should hope Drouin is better at this point his career. Drouin drafted in 2013, Marner three years later in 2016. Drouin makes 5.5m, Marner with bonuses, 1.5m.
