This past summer The Edmonton Oilers did some asset management by moving out John Marino. It was becoming clear that Marino was not likely to sign in Edmonton so Ken Holland sent him to Pittsburgh. In return Edmonton received a conditional sixth-round pick in 2021. Since that trade, he hasn’t looked back.
John Marino Went From Sixth Round Pick to Dominant in 50 Games

John Marino has quickly become the type of player that all late rounders can look up to. Drafted 154th overall in the 2015 draft Marino was viewed as an all-around defenceman project with limited offensive upside. This belief was reinforced over three years at Harvard University where his offensive numbers stayed static year over year. As late as March of 2019 it was still believed Marino would be a project for a few years in the AHL.

This is not the place for statistical talk about that possible hypothetical state of matter, known to the layman as John Marino, where we treat him as a... "living phenomenon". This is the thread where we speculate if he's really a homunculus, grown in a jar in a long abandoned and forgotten basement in a heretical monastery on Mt. Athos.

I think it's a Doctor Who type thing. There are many John Marino's through time and space we're just not sure which one we have now or when it may be.

Is Doctor Who that show about how time-space is secretly ruled by British nerds with absolutely no imagination, who are threatened by sentient cheese graters?

You bet your ass it is, one of my favorite SNES game.
