Value of: IS Mitch Marner a Compairison to Patrick Kane

[ColbyChaos]

Marner is better. Kane wouldn’t be a 4th liner on the pens

Thank goodness there is an ignore function

 

[TOGuy14]

yeah in kanes first two seasons he was 18 and 19 marner is 19 and 20. Is there a difference with one year yes

So deperate, grabbing at straws.

Kane played 20 games as an 18 year old, he turned 19 basically as soon as the season started.

Is it impossible to think that a player could ever come along that could be compared to Kane?
(I mean league wide, we know it's impossible that a Leaf could ever garner such a comparison.)

 

[BleedBlue14]

Is Parayko value wise comparable to Prime Weber? No but there are similarities (Mainly in stature and rarity of certain skill sets). Regardless, sorry to Leafs fans.

No, Marner is not near as valuable as Patrick Kane. Hardly any wingers in the league are. You can't realistically look at a few stats and say someone is going to be x player after 2 seasons in the NHL.

Going by stat lines alone, Kane's D+1&2 years are comparable to Marner's D+2&3 years. Plus he had better junior numbers in his draft year. They have very similar attributes but the edge definitely goes to Kane.

That being said, Marner would be a top 4 forward on any team in the league.

 

[pheasant]

"Comparison" suggests that there are some obvious similarities, while also having some differences. So yes.

You could say "Marner is a poor man's Kane." That would make them comparable.

its a word, and you don't wanna search it up. i'll give you a hint. it doesn't even remotely make sense in your sentence

Yes, he used the word wrong. No need to be a dick about it though... it's a hockey forum not a graduate level writing class

i wasn't being a dick about it, or at least that wasn't my intention anyways.

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.

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.

1) The same can be said about all fan bases . Easy to pick at TML when there 10,000,000,000 of them . Arizona and their 6,000 fans get lost in postings . TML fans are rabid and would attack a grizzly bear if it threaten their team

2) Point 2 lets not compare the last decade when Marner hasn't been in the league that long . Lets compare the 2 players at the same age . How does Kane total stack up his 1st 2 seasons in the NHL ?

 

[Stephen]

I don't think he's very much like Patrick Kane stylistically, who is a fine motor control kind of player. Kane reminds me more of a scrawny magic Denis Savard type.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah, if you're listening to Leafs fans evaluations of Leafs players you're gonna have a really bad time.

I will guarantee Marner has more value around the League .Today Marner is not as good as Kane on the ice but factoring in age and contract I would take Marner and I am sure most GM's would . Even if Marner gets 7x7 on his next contract . 3.5 million has value .

Kane > Marner on ice play
Marner >> Kane when considering age and contract .

When talking value you have to consider all things . If you are talking about the better player contracts and age goes out the window .

 

[SotasicA]

Does Marner like to party hard? Is he not a great tipper? Then yes, maybe they are similar.

Except Kane is way better at hockey.

Thank goodness there is an ignore function

But you didn't

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Yeah, if you're listening to Leafs fans evaluations of Leafs players you're gonna have a really bad time.

I gotta say if you ignore the outliers Leaf fans have generally been more right than wrong

Not a trade board topic.
