Good poll
Barzal's probably the best of the bunch, and Connor's no slouch, so I'll probably take them

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

The one with the legit superstar #1C in it.

 

[Lights911]

Barzal and Connor quite easily

 

[major major]

Barzal >> Marner => Aho > Connor

Barzal>>Aho>=Marner>=Connor

 

[Snowman]

Barzal and Connor are the two best players easily.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I’ll go Marner and Aho.

 

[tomi2]

Have to take Aho-duo.. He's very clearly the best player here.

 

[Mitch nylander]

I see it as this. With no bias.

Matthew Barzal is the number one here. He's a legitimate number one center who's an offensive dynamo. Great skater, phenomenal hands, great hockey sense. Posted just over a point per game in his rookie season. Posted 63 assists which is extremely impressive considering his age.
-
Mitch Marner / Sebastien Aho: Both at a similar level just a bit behind Barzal. Marner has phenomenal vision and amazing creativity. He'll tear it up with tavares in this upcoming season. He also has an underrated defensive game. Aho meanwhile may have posted less points then marner. But he had a bigger role on his team. Aho is the face of this hurricane offence. Extremely versatile, as he can play both center and winger. Great hockey IQ.
-
Kyle Connor: All though I love this guy. I think he's slightly weaker then the others. Possesses incredible skating skills, and he can score. Has an accurate shot and a great set of mitts. But for me he's behind the others due to posting less points while playing with better line mates ala ( Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler). No slouch to the guy.

Overall great poll.

It's either you choose the best and the worst player in the poll (close seperation between all). Or you choose the 2nd and 3rd best.

You are really desperate for Marner to lose a poll huh.

 

[IPS]

1) Marner
2) Barzal
3) Aho

4) Connor

Marner/Aho and it's an easy choice. Don't think Connor has any business being mentioned among these players.

 

[CanadienShark]

Barzal
Marner
Aho
Connor

Eh, it's a toss up. I like Aho - Marner slightly more, even if Barzal is the best.

 

[TheBigThree]

marner aho easily

 

[Kamiccolo]

Marner =Aho > Barzal > Connor

 

[Strait2thecup]

Marner =Aho > Barzal > Connor

 

[M2Beezy]

Very good poll OP its very close. From the 2015 draft Id go:

3 Barzal
8 Aho
9 Marner
10 Connor

So I give the edge to Barzal Connor but these things can change

 

[Castle8130]

People tend to forget that Marner is bad in his own end. I would say Barzal is clearly above marner and aho is above Marner. Connor could rise this year, but I don't see him above the other two.

Stats or proof to back up Marner being bad in his own end?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I'm not sold on Connor as much as the other three so for that reason..

 

[PhilJets]

I didnt look at goals scores by the other 3.
But did any of them scored 30+ goals?
Let alone in their 1st year.

All players good though.
Can't fault either way. Just Barzal ahead of the 3.

Interesting opinion considering Marner has always been known as a very good two way winger.
