Marner vs Aho

[MyBudJT]

Both nice players but give me Marner.

I knew it was too good to be true...

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Yes. I noticed five Leaf fans voted as neutral fans. So I changed my vote to make the poll more accurate.
Of the two I would take Marner although it is very close.

Gotta leave out the top quote that explains why.

Not something to be proud of.

I call bullshit.

 

[tomi2]

Aho is better and he's a center so it's a no brainer. (Though Marner is really good also)

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I call bull****.

Cool.

There were also several Leafs fans who changed their vote from neutral fan to Leafs fan. What about them?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Cool.

There were also several Leafs fans who changed their vote from neutral fan to Leafs fan. What about them?

There's actually still a couple Leaf fans (obvious ones) who, weirdly, voted for the non-Leaf fan voting for Marner option.

Yet another poll result with a Leaf player losing that will be laughable in 1-2 years time.

 

[Morbo]

If I've learned anything from HF polls it's that if it's close between one player and a Leafs player, whether that player has more or less points, the non Leafs player always wins.

Pettersson, Pastrnak, Aho, Eichel, Barkov > Marner and Matthews somehow.

you forgot Boeser, Barzal, and many others besides. they're all better than any player the Leafs have.

Lol.

Why? What's the actual justification?
Aho and Marner are the same age and have both improved steadily.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

This poll in particular is close deservedly so. But I think leaf fans should stop taking these polls seriously.

There’s more than enough data to prove that statement correct.

I think this is silly. Aho is very good too. They've both taken a step forward.

 

[Sasso09]

This is not gonna be remotely close.

I think I would take Marner even if his salary was double Aho's.

Comments like this are why everyone is voting Aho. Don't be ridiculous.

The answer is Marner, this is a clear example of what Leafs fans are always complaining about with "anti-leafs bias" it's fitting here. It's fitting because comments like those above are constantly flowing.

dude Aho is incredible as well. this isnt some anti leafs bias shit

Currently these two now have statline of:

Marner: 60GP 21G 48A 69P = on pace for 82GP 29G 65A 94P
Aho: 61GP 24G 44A 68P = on pace for 82GP 32G 59A 91P

Considering Aho is by and far the best forward in his team I think that more than makes up the projected 3 point gap. At this point, I'd say Aho is having the better season overall. Crazy how quickly things have changed.

Dude, you should check out the "non-Leafs fan" part for reference.

LOL, that has nothing to do with it. The guy is a notorious Leaf hater.

I don't think Marner ever had strong argument. Nylander vs Rantanen in reverse.

Ahh, I didn't know. That said, it's kind of pot calling the kettle black.

I think he definitely had a good argument (I think he still does) at the beginning of the season.

 

[Tony Stacks]

Marner only has 1 more point, but Aho is better defensively and plays the more important position. I'd take him.

 

[CanadienShark]

Give me Aho by the slightest of margins. Really, really close.

 

[jonlin]

Can I have them both?

Really? Aho and Marner are the same age. Aho is better defensively. Aho doesnt play on a line with a guy as good as Tavares. Aho plays center. Theyre on pace for a difference of about 3 points this year, Aho less points but more goals.

Somehow this is the thread thats true about anti-leaf bias? There is absolutely good reason to vote Aho over Marner, and the defensive play of a center with similar production and less help offensively is a very good reason to take Aho right now. I didnt vote because I think theyre pretty even as players but to say people picking Aho have anti-leaf bias is stupid
