Prospect Info: 2015 Leafs Board Prospect Ranking #1

[HellasLEAF]

Nylander is awesome, but Marner is just better.

agreed.

and who cares.

both to the tope line.

Mathews - Marner - Nylander

 

[HeroNtF]

Voted Marner, add Timashov

 

[Mats13]

agreed.

and who cares.

both to the tope line.

Mathews - Marner - Nylander

Although Mathews is a center

Anyway, to say Marner is better isn't calling Nylander bad. It's actually incredible to think that we have both of them.

They are both easily our two best prospects and I can see the argument for either. Just imagine them together

 

[PuckMagi]

Are we not considering Martin Marincin a prospect?

I guess he has 2 half NHL seasons under his belt.

 

[TheOtherSide]

Voted Marner.
Add Bibeau. FWIW, Dave Morrison had him in his top 10 or top 5 prospects about a year ago. Don"t have the link, but it has been posted on this forum a couple of times.

 

[HarryLime]

I shoulda voted for my boy Joffrey for support

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Marner no doubt. He has sky high potential. Nylander comes in a close second as he has elite first line talent in him.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Marner
Add Vesey

18 year Olds going point per game in shl is very rare. Also, nylander has outscored filip forsberg at absolutely every level they have played, and we see what forsberg did this year in nhl. I think nylander will be top 10 nhl scorer for long time, and be comparable in importance to a team as Mr pat kane.

Marner I think is good, but not as special as nylander.

 

[TimeZone]

Nylander.

 

[Looney Toonies]

There is literally no reason to believe that William Hylander will be a better pro than Marner.

While I have to give the edge to Marner, I certainly can't scoff at anything Willy has done this year.

PPG for Modo, and 42 PTS in 47 games for the Marlies for an 18 year old is astounding.

IMO and I very well could be wrong Marner just screams elite top line beast.

Nylander is a year closer to a sure thing, and that should be weighted against Marner's ceiling accordingly.

Was my initial thought as well, big fan of Marincin but if he has too many games played then alright.

Voted Marner because of the 2-way game though I like Nylander a bit better just cause he's proven against men in 2 pro leagues.

We desperately need some blue-chip d-men to add to the pool

Also, add Verhaeghe + Bibeau

 

[Leaf Lander]

Add bibeau

 

[BigBlu]

Hypothetical : Draft Year Marner or Draft Year Reilly?

 

[McMatthews]

Add Bibeau.

 

[Marner2Nylander]

Lol I like Leipsic but who voted him as our top prospect? LOL

 

[XxJammingxX]

 

[Duke Silver]

People should read this article: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/t...r-or-william-nylander-the-leafs-best-prospect

It's no slight against Marner, but what Nylander has done against MEN is insanely impressive. I'd like to see what Marner can do against professionals before giving him the edge.

 

[namttebih]

As Leaf fans we really deserve at least a couple out of Brown, Johnson, Bracco and Kapanen to exceed expectations.

How about all four.

Babcock, do it.

 

[Moonman]

Nylander

 

[Semantics]

A few people are seriously underestimating Marner's accomplishments. Using league equivalencies, his 2.0 ppg OHL production translates to 0.90 ppg in the AHL. That is better than Nylander's 0.86 this year despite being a year younger.

Marner is *already* a better player than Nylander, and he's a year younger and less physically developed for his age.

Like, this one isn't even close, as the poll numbers reflect.

By that logic shouldn't Connor Brown have scored like a PPG this year?

 

[PJJ]

Marner is our #1 prospect just because he was #4 overall but I think Nylander will be a better player in the NHL
