Big Marner fan but this goes to Draisaitl. Same level of talent, on a better contract and plays center.
What is this absolute garbage take? Draisaitl is better than Marner, and you don't have to dip and dive to figure that out, like you've done in this post.
So an extra hour on the PP and only 9 more points?
Nice.
They would be okay.I think I, like many others, would take Marner easily here.
When comparing two wingers, I always look at it this way. Which one makes the players around them better? Easy answer there is Marner based on the past three years of hockey.
Imagine Marner on McDavid's wing. That would be scary.
They would be okay.
We already know McDavid and Draisaitl are scary.
And Draisaitl helps McDavid, and McDavid helps Draisaitl. It's a two way street.
"not that scary"They are not really that scary honestly.
The team is near the bottom of the league again. Bergeron and Marchand are scary. Point and Kucherov too.
"Let me tell you why Draisaitl having more points is actually a bad thing."So an extra hour on the PP and only 9 more points?
Nice.
What? All we hear is that the Leafs having good players that will cost a lot is actually a bad thing."Let me tell you why Draisaitl having more points is actually a bad thing."
No one loves handing out imaginary points more than Leafs fans.

Not as scary as Drai. And honestly, I don't think Marner meshes anywhere as well. He doesn't have the shot or scoring ability to be as effective as Drai who reads off McDavid spectacularly and is an exceptional playmaker himself.
Aaaaaannnnnd this post explains in clear detail you have no idea what you're talking about. Imagine classifying a player who is going to finish with 120 points + 40 goals and another who is going to finish with 50+50 while dragging their team along as "not that scary".
You should probably quit while you're ahead. It's just embarrassing now.They still give up more than they get when on the ice together.
I guess if the point is to put up as many points as you can, then enjoy it. But they aren't going to win you games like Marner does.
So now you're just making stuff up.They still give up more than they get when on the ice together.

Drai and McDavid have 5vs5 gf% above 60 with atrocious defence behind them, lmao!They still give up more than they get when on the ice together.

Typical money greedy Swedes!Just as clueless as the leafs fans who think Drai is a product of McDavid. Like it's pretty obvious that you don't watch any western conference teams, let alone the Oilers
I think it's great Leafs have elite C's in Matthews and Tavares who can carry around the very average and small one dimentional winger in Marner and a money greedy swede in Nylander.
Great C depth, best in the NHL!
He doesn’t play center though.Big Marner fan but this goes to Draisaitl. Same level of talent, on a better contract and plays center.
Lol that's hilarious, as if replacing Drai with Marner would make the oilers any better if not worse. DFKMThey still give up more than they get when on the ice together.

How is Marner winning this?
he can and does...quite often actuallyHe doesn’t play center though.
People are voting for the better player.How is Marner winning this?
playing more minutes doesn't equal more points, mainly due to fatigueIt's because Marner is a beast.
At 21 he's already a 90 point player, and he plays way less than Draisaitl. With his minutes he'd be well over 100 points as well, Draisaitl has 1 hour more on the PP than him alone...
and Toronto is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league while the Oilers are 20th...and argument can made if Draisaitl played with the talent and depth of the Leafs, he'd have even more pointsSince the year 2000 this is the list of players that have hit 90 points by the age of 21
Crosby
McDavid
Ovechkin
Malkin
Staal
Stamkos
Marner
Marner and McDavid are also the only ones to do it with way less than 3 minutes a game on the PP.
Staal was playing 5 and half minutes on the PP the year he broke 100 points.
and Toronto is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league while the Oilers are 20th...and argument can made if Draisaitl played with the talent and depth of the Leafs, he'd have even more points
Draisaitl 101 points are 45% of the entire Oilers offense while Marner's 90 points are 33% of the Leafs offense
