Marner

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I live in Alberta so I get to watch both players regularly the better player is Marner

 

[WillTheThrill]

Marner

 

[Tkachuky]

I can see arguments for both depending on what team would be picking between the 2. For the Flames, Chucky is such a perfect fit.

 

[Kcb12345]

Marner is probably more talented but I like Tkachuk's game a lot.

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Love them both, but i'll vote Marner based on skill.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

close but i prefer marner

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Marner has more skill and that's what matters

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Marner barely scores more and doesn't get the D assignments Tkachuk does.

 

[BAM]

Except last year when he scored 61 points to Tkachuk's 48?

 

[Volica]

Tkachuk.
And it's not particularly close.

Similar offensive upside, one guy brings everything else.

 

[BAM]

Tkachuk.

Can we wait till Tkachuk scores more than 48 points before we say the have similar offensive upside?

Boy you'd think the Leafs would be shit with how they lose almost every player poll on this site yet have the 7th best record in the league

You can watch them play and see it, I know it's hard to stay up and watch a Flames game, but give it a try. Just because one has a better rookie season in his D+2 than the other does in his D+1, doesn't mean much in the grande scheme.

Tkachuk's puck dominant, and has a ridiculous set of mitts too. You add in the power game, which is galaxies beyond Mitch, the penalties drawn, the pestiness that gets people losing their minds as well as just the overall size... Kid's a beauty, and it's fun in Calgary watching him become one of the elite wings of the league.

Yeah apparently we were missing playoffs this year because we overachieved last year and were miraculously healthy

2013-2014 Colorado Avalanche 2.0 they told us!

But yeah for the poll: Marner AINEC. Watch both of them play and it becomes abundantly clear who's the better player.

 

[Apotheosis]

Marner's offensive ceiling is MUCH higher and that's what tips the scale here.

LOL I've seen him plenty thanks. You can watch Marner and see it.

So in a perfect world, Marner's a PPG LW?
In a perfect world, Tkachuk's a 70-75 point LW?

I don't see there being a MUCH higher ceiling here. I like Marner, but their offensive upsides are actually pretty parallel.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Tkachuk is underrated. He’s barely had any PP time until recently. The guy is going to be a #1 W.

As a fan of both teams who watches almost every Flames/Leafs game I can say that you are either incredibly biased or you don't watch the Leafs to make this Statement: "Tkachuk. And it's not particularly close."

It is very close between the two. Marner has much more offensive skill and his ceiling is way higher. I'm not arguing that Tkachuk isn' a beauty because he is a fantastic player with underrated skill.

I will give the slight edge to Marner long term simply due to his offensive ceiling but I can see an argument being made either way. Those that state it's close are delusional.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Damn, pretty close, eh?

Went with Tkachuk and it was pretty easy choice for me.

Might want to edit that last sentence. And although I agree with your conclusion if you're a fan of both teams why didnt you correct any of the other people saying its ainec for marner. We all have our biassss and I hate when people try to say they're completely objective next time just say "as a leafs fan.."

Marners a right wing.

Homer voting, I'm a huge fan of Marner and I think he's going to be an incredible player, have since his London days. Tkachuk also is a great player, but I prefer Mitch.

 

[Tkachuky]

Marner has more skill and that's what matters

Weird how a poor no skill player is putting up the same amount of points.

 

[barrsdow]

Marner is obviously more skilled thats why tkachuk has 7 more goals in 5 less games right? I think they are pretty close but I give the edge to tkachuk FOR NOW because he brings a lot more in that he plays on one of the best two way lines in the league always gets his team involved physically and has drawn 5 more penalties than anyone else in the league. Also the argument that Marner is more skilled holds no weight because tkachuk is no slouch either he literally takes 2 between the legs shots per game and did you see him break fleurys ankles the other night? More skilled doesnt mean anything until you prove you can convert on your chances consistently. A better argument is marner is a much better skater while tkachuk does most of his damage along the boards. Good poll, I was just about to make this.
