I only bring this up because several Toronto Fans said he is equal to Patrick kanes playing ability. As in he is patrick kane 2.0 and thats what his value should be and if traded should land an elite dman (1-10) in league. I questioned that and want everyones opinion.In what way? Playing style? I feel like Marner will end up better defensively than Kane but not as creative
So this is just a reactionary thread to some fans saying something about a player that is undervalued?I only bring this up because several Toronto Fans said he is equal to Patrick kanes playing ability.

I agree almost Generational Talent. If he was more consistent he would be.Kane is just simply on another level.
Not really, I just wanted to see what a wider range of posters thought. Incase i was missing something in my assessment.So this is just a reactionary thread to some fans saying something about a player that is undervalued?
Sorry i have seen poles posted here before. I dont really post to much, My bad.Not sure this is a trade rumour lol
They play around the same way but Kane's better at it
Best not to take Toronto fan's evaluations of their own players too seriously. Every fan base pumps up their own guys, but they've got it going to another level, particularly bad with Marner imo.I only bring this up because several Toronto Fans said he is equal to Patrick kanes playing ability.

So, no he's not on Kane's level I'd say. Kane is one of the top, top players in the league over the past decade. Marner is a very good young player but not directly comparable to Kane.
Compare their numbers: (Marner with 10 more games this season)
Marner:
77 games, 19 goals, 42 assists, 61 points PP: 4 goals, 17 assists, 21 points
72 games 19 goals, 41 assists, 60 points PP: 7 goals, 17 assists, 24 points
Kane:
82 games, 21 goals, 51 assists, 72 points PP: 7 goals, 21 assists, 28 points
80 games, 25 goals, 45 assists, 70 points PP: 13 goals, 22 assists, 35 points
Kane had the better rookie year but if Marner continues to play well the last 10 games they will have pretty comparable sophomore numbers. They have the similar shifty playing style that frees up space for them to create.
I think when people compare the automatic reaction is "no way he's as good as him." Which I don't think people are necessarily saying Marner will be Kane just that they have similar style and approach to the game which projects a good career for Marner not who's better or will he be worse, as good or better than Kane.

By the consensus's its 17(no)-3 (yes/probably all of these are leaf fans) so no not even close, Kane helped lead the Hawks to not 1 but 3 Lord Stanley's, Marner helped lead the Leafs to the playoffs once (will be twice)
Kane is 4th in league scoring since 08 (3rd since 10) behind the obvious 3 of Crosby Ovi and Malkin. Id like to see Marner have a few ppg seasons before we ever talk about this comparison again
If any young winger can be compared to Kane it’s Kucherov, not Marner.
Is Mitch Marner compairable to Patrick Kane
