Drouin vs Marner

[Stephen23]

As a Mooseheads/Leafs fan, they are very similar players but also different. I think Drouin is a slightly better passer, but Marner is slightly more skilled, creative and a harder worker (and has a better attitude, Drouin had it here in Halifax too so this isn't a new revelation). It's really a toss but I give an extremely slight edge to Marner for how tenacious he is, and he is in a better position to succeed (where he is allowed to play in the shadow of Matthews). But I love Drouin. He is probably my favorite Moosehead of all time in terms of who was the most fun to watch (and provided the most wow moments) and walked away from many games thinking he played better than MacKinnon on that particular night.

Drouin all day and night. He drives offence.

Marner aint that good. He's a small soft skilled secondary piece like a Sven Baertschi.

Nice Avatar. What is he like 6'2", 120 pounds ?? Looks like "small, soft" Marner can lay him out!

Marner = Baertschi

I've heard it all! Ahh Canucks fans...why do you do this to yourself?

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.

LOL.

 

[Yamazaki]

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

You called it.

 

[Raging Bull]

Marner will end up with more assists than Drouin will points. Not even remotely close.

Solid forecast.

Yeah there is a whole lot of people that should be pretty embarrassed in this thread. I really don't know how anybody looked at Marner's first half of the season....see's that he was shooting 3% and goes "Yup seems legit" and draws a conclusion that he isn't the player he was last season. Truly shocking that it has regressed closer to the mean. I mean how could you predict something crazy like that!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Gimme Johnny. His team is trash and he's struggling but I still think he's the better player going forward.

At least you are sticking aboard the ship while it's sinking, have to give you credit there.

Marner Drafted 2015
147 GP 119 P

Drouin Drafted 2013
229 GP 131 P

Marner is only 12 points shy of Drouin's career points despite how he is 2 years younger and has played in 82 less games.

Anyways I originally said Marner AINEC and nothing has happend to change my pov

 

[rent free]

The man is entitled to his opinion. Leafs nation doesn't need to start policing people's opinions. We don't want to be like the trolls.

 

[Stand Witness]

Drouin ANIEC

Ah yes, and Leafs fans looked at Nylanders and Matthews production after 12 games and anointed them as 80/100pt scorers - truly shocking that their PPG's went down as the season went on - who could've predicted that!

I don't know why you are quoting me. Take it up with the Leaf fans that said that.

The power of a hive mind!

 

[3rdLiner]

Marner pretty easily now, right?

 

[TOGuy14]

This is Marner easily but love the bad takes on the first page of this poll with all the Leaf haters trying to pile on to Mitch during his slow start

 

[Pyrophorus]

The Habs leading scorer has 43pts: Its not Drouin.

Love the haters on the front page.

 

[olli]

Marner for sure.

 

[Patrik Barkov]

I'll take the fourth liner Baerstchi lite who's probably gonna score 70 points this year

I eonno what is he doing now?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Gimme Johnny. His team is trash and he's struggling but I still think he's the better player going forward.

All solid points to take him over Marner..... oh wait he didn't do much on a solid Tampa team either.

 

[Smeagoal]

I like Drouin a lot and have since TB drafted him. I think MTL is not an ideal situation for him at the moment. Marner, albeit has had ups and downs this year is still the player I'd take. Similar offensive IQ and talent, fast/skilled players who can back up the D and carry the puck in over the line. However, Marner is younger and has been tracking better than Drouin. Tough decision but still Marner is the way to go.
