[holdyoucloser2003]

Both from the same draft. Who's the better overall player?

Marner is on another level. Barzal has never been at his level other than his rookie year. Mitch is just simply a better hockey player.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Barzal would probably be better for Ottawa. Just a hunch.

 

[NK94]

Marner, easily.

 

[Randy Randerson]

At this point it has to be Marner unless you're putting a lot of value on position.

But, imagine how scary Boston would be if they just took the next 3 guys instead of the ones they did?

 

[All Mod Cons]

Marner.

Barzal plays with better players on a better team.

 

[34]

Marner is a tier above Barzal.

 

[Jetcetera]

Barzal

 

[jetsforever]

Marner, wingerness aside

 

[RogerR]

Marner.

 

[IPS]

Marner AINC

Lock 'er up

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

lol Marner.

 

[Divine]

LOL. Marner AINEC.

What has Barzal done in this league? Marner is top 10 in NHL scoring the last 3 years.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Money Mitch

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Marner has separated himself from Barzal now. Despite being a winger, he's a step above.

This guy throws out a Matthew’s vs Barzel poll now Marner vs Barzel. Another poll trying to pump of leafs players.

Next one will be a Nylander vs Barsal and Nylander will win

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Next one will be a Nylander vs Barsal and Nylander will win

Hes certainly closer to Nylander than he is to Matthews. However Barzal >Nylander

 

[bert]

Marner.

Barzal plays with better players on a better team.

This is a joke right?

I'll take Barzal due to position and his ability to elevate in the playoffs. They are very close though.

Looks like most voters only look at the stats and don't watch the games.

The better player, Marner in this case, is better for any team. You can't say a team would be better off with a lesser player.

That's some backward logic right there.

And some voters only look at jerseys and don't look at games or stats.

Bless your heart Bert, of course you will take Barzal. I guess the 40 point gap doesn't bother you.

Also, being a C vs a W is only relevant if you bring exceptional defence. Marner PKs and is a good 5v5 defender, so the position part is kind of irrelevant.

Bert would probably take Stamkos over Matthews and Edmundson over Brodie if it meant he could have a chance to vote for a non-Leaf.

edit: sorry, I said 30 points gap. It's actually on pace to be a 47 pt gap in an 82 game season...

 

[authentic]

It's crazy how good Marner has become as a two-way player while being one of the absolute best offensively. Barzal is great in his own right though and better than his stats indicate.

 

[LeafGrief]

Matt Barzal 25p in 30 playoff games. "Elevates his game for the playoffs"
Mitch Marner 21p in 25 playoff games. Doesn't elevate his game for the playoffs, apparently.

At this point I just laugh whenever you get angry at Leafs fans for saying biased things.
