Rantanen Vs Marner

[PinkFly]

This poll has proven that marner is not on the same level as rantanen... in the opinion of HFboard. There is not too much else that needs to be said. Leafs fans trying to so deperately to turn the poll is fighting a fruitless battle.

Idk man, Rantanen seems to leech off Mackinnon quite a bit.

What are his numbers with vs without mackinnon? Aswell as mackinnon without rantanen?

I do realize the sample sizes will be small

No more than MacKinnon leeches of Rantanen

But you will never be able to convince the highly stubborn hfboard of your opinion. As proven by this poll.

sample size of MacKinnon without Rantanen is pretty large

He means MacK's first 3 seasons...though those include a fantastic 18 yo season and a 20 yo season where he was ~PPG over the first ~30 games he played before injuring his hand/wrist.

mackinnon is the better player though. thats like saying mcdavid leeches off of drai when its clearly the opposite

None of those players "leeches" of any of the others. Mikko helps MacKinnon thrive, and he benefits from some easier points because of how incredible MacK is. It's the same way with Leon & McJesus. They help each other, but they don't need each other or leech off one another.

There's no need to tear one down to bolster the other. Just like both Kane & Panarin could be great players in their own right as well as great partners-in-crime.

I'm gonna need you to step away from the keyboard, this post makes way too much sense.

Solid post and agree 100%

If Rantanen leeches so much from Mac, how come does Landy have so much less points?

Or just maybe... They benefit greatly from each other..

Just like MacDavid would benefit playing with Drai.

No kidding. HFBoards is no place for that sort of talk. Rantanen leeches of MacK and whould be an AHL player without him. There that sounds better....

 

[BB88]

It certainly does matter. If Im a GM looking to trade for one of these two that is definitely coming into play whether Rantanen can repeat his numbers without MacKinnon. Marner had the edge in that category, guy scores on the fourth line

Rantanen carried his ahl team as a rookie on his +1 season, went +ppg. On his 1st NHL season he lead the team in goals scored. On his 2nd season he's well over ppg and Mack is having his best season. Luck or has Rantanen raised Macks game?
They both benefit by playing together.

There's a massive difference on Marners& Rants point totals.

We hear here how Toronto has one of the best F groups in the league, if so then that's tough to match up against. Some of the kids won't get the attention by the opponents toughest lines. Colorado is a one line team, they get all the attention and still are killing it.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Rantanen is having an awesome year, for sure. But I'm still going with Marner. He's going to end up being better than all of them.

 

[Halla]

i'd like to see what marner can do with 82 games next to matthews.
rantanen wouldnt be anywhere close to what he is doing now if he was buried next to kerfoot or soderberg

 

[LeafsNation75]

Tonight Marner gets his 2nd straight 60+ point season.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Saw Marner when he was playing in the G and with the Knights, my fave OHL team - so picked him. Straight up homer pick.

Honestly, unless Marner was up against a Blackhawks player in a poll, I'll probably always pick him for everything. Obnoxious probably - but true.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Man this is a close one. Rantanen by a hair, but I like Marner's ceiling more.

 

[MightySelanne8]

Rantanen, he developes constantly and they might make one of the best duos for years to come with MacKinnon.

Its close, but you cant really ignore Mikkos statline this year, its far better than what Marner has done (so far, cant tell you about the future unluke some folks around these boards).

True, but give him Kadri and he’s still a 75 point player ;-)

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

True, but give him Kadri and he’s still a 75 point player ;-)

Same with Marner going by his pace since moving to that line

 

[Halla]

9g/23pts in his last 16 games. absolutely insane production from a 2nd liner

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Are you saying 53 points is bad?

Rantanent away from MacKinnon likely doesnt break 50

Yes, MacKinnon boosts his scoring by 100%, because that f***ing happens.

Oh wait, it doesn't.

Rants was already the best goal scorer in one of the worst teams in history last year.

Anybody who puts up over PPG in the NHL is a great player, no matter who they play with.

you cant really ignore what marner did last year either. 60pts vs 38. Marner is still 8 pts up up Rantanen for their career

 

[LeafsNation75]

I also laugh at that because on another thread someone said that Rantanen had the 2nd most points among players drafted in 2015, when that was clearly false since Marner has more career points so far than he does.
