Trying to minimize Marner again. I' would hope the leafs take Marner in the exact same situation again over Barzal.
My immediate question would be, how much of Barzal's supposedly superior stats are due to John Tavares either setting him up or allowing him to play against lesser competition? 'Cause there's a good chance Tavares is leaving Long Island this year...
I'd be willing to bet without Tavares to cover for him, Barzal doesn't look that elite... Sort of like how everyone was going crazy for Okposo and Parenteau due to the huge boost Tavares gave both of them...
You guys who wanted to trade down for Barzal were right.
Mess didn't want to trade down for Barzal; he wanted us to use #4 on Barzal and #26 on Kopecky...
No Marner. No Dermott. No Bracco. And a stupid assumption that Nylander will never play C for the Leafs, ever.
