Tkachuk now has 22 points in 10 playoff games. Most in the OHL behind only Mitch the Great.

I wasn't a big Tkachuk fan, but he has done nothing but produce. His stock has to be rising.
McKeen's latest rankings. The ****?
Laine 1, McLeod 3, Juolevi 5??

I get the jokes are sarcasm and you're poking fun of Leaf fans (even though none are here) but honest question, why are so many of you oddly obsessed with Mitch Marner?

It's reactionary. Spend some time on the main boards and you'll understand. The narrative out there is that Tkachuk and Dvorark are trash and Mitch Jesus Marner carries them. Strome was trash at the WJC and Mitch was the one truth.
It was a tough choice between Strome and him. And while it still isn't clear which choice was the better of the two, Leafs fans have gone to hell and back ensuring everyone on these boards know how well Marner is doing at all times. After they have gone to point out every time he has a decent game, a shift at center, or any other minuet detail they can use to "prove" he is the best prospect outside of McDavid, they go on to point out how other prospects sometimes related (Dvoark) or completely unrelated (Laine) are not as talented as Marner.
Tl;dr Leafs fans have a Napoleon complex over their 5'8" prospect that could have been a Coyote, leaving them with Strome (whom if he was a Leaf we would all be hearing to no end how Marner wont make it in the NHL because of his stature)
You did so well up until that last bit. We have the largest fanbase by far on HF, its natural to have more 'idiots' that constantly stir the pot or say stupid stuff.

Yep, I'd argue the inferiority complex may just be found in those here that carry on about Marner.

Anyone recall when the Rangers have to declare their intentions re: the pick?
There are a few (probably under a dozen - in other words a tiny fraction) TML fans that are just so over the top with their adoration of Marner it goes beyond hyperbole. The gushing over him just begs to be counter argued which of course starts an even bigger argument. As rt said, it is reactionary. Should not get sucked in but sometimes one cant resist.
What's the best draft pick the Rangers pick can become and what would need to happen along with the first round exit that seems inevitable?
Not even the Coyotes pick yet.
Not 100% sure, but I think 1st Playoff Rd impact seeds, so:I am fully aware of this. Maybe you misread my question.
Watching pvr'd u18 games. Fabbro the real deal. Reasons why Pronman indicating he's in discussion for top D in draft. He's a true RD as well.
