By that logic shouldn't Connor Brown have scored like a PPG this year?
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.
while i went with marner, it was insane thinking that we have two prospects that have chance at becoming superstars, nylander is probably our best draft pick since kaberle(and he was a massive steal) he might be our best prospect ever and he is easily a top 10 nhl prospect without the 2015 draft factoring in. Its insane how quickly we are re upping our prospect cup boards. Marner has the potential to become a 100 point player imo at best but nylander is not too behind i think he has the max potential of becoming a 90 point player, Factor in a guy like kapenen(who will be amazing for us) along with the underrated brown, we have 4 legit top 50 prospects in the league. Along with other skilled guys like leipsic, percy, dermott, gauthier etc. The leafs future is looking bright, if all goes well we can contend by 2017/2018 for the cup
Lol at this guy. Claiming Marner is better than Nylander based on conjecture and theories. Let's see what Marner does against Men before suggesting he's going to score at a 0.9 PPG in the AHL.
Using a poll on the Leafs board to validate your bias opinion is cringe-worthy quite honestly.

Nothing lol-worthy there. He backs up his opinion with pretty established numbers with a huge sample size. That's better than what most do.
Different people cringe at different things. For me, its people that name themselves after a prospect (especially pre-draft), and then discuss them like they don't have a bias.
It's speculation, there's no facts there which point to Marner being able to put up 0.9 PPG against Men as a 17 year old.

Marner was also picked higher, in a better draft.... based on draft year, he probably would have gone top-3 in Nylander's draft, if not first overall.
If that draft were done again after last year it would be Ekblad then Nylander and there is no way in hell Marner bumps Ekblad.
Nylander right after Ekblad, as in #2 overall?
