Both have had great careers. I think Rantanen passed him but that’s just me.
Rant easily, you'll see in the playoffs
I'm sorry, I felt so passionate when I wrote that. Marner is ridiculously good. Amazing player, but Rantanen is nearly 6'5, big body who can shoot and play make.What?
I mean if you want to take rants, go ahead..... but easily? lol
Both great young players

To be fair, Rantanen was dealing with injury issues, as was his linemate Landeskog, which slowed production of that entire line.Marner pretty easily. Rantanen fell off a cliff in the second half of the season and Marner finished with 94 points, which is pretty crazy

I think Marner would still go before Rantanen but honestly theres like 4 or 5 guys in that draft that could swap spots early in the draft and i think there can be arguments for all of them.
I still think its Mcdavid number 1 (obviously), Eichel number 2 then take your pick.
Rantanen, Aho, Marner, Barzal, Werenski, Provorov, Connor with guys like Chabot and Meier, Boeser and more all starting to make arguments already.
Just an absolutely ridiculous draft.
Good thing we got Griffin Reinhart instead.To be fair, Rantanen was dealing with injury issues, as was his linemate Landeskog, which slowed production of that entire line.

Rantanen. More of a goalscorer, slightly better production and he is built like a tank.
The last two seasons:
Rantanen 60G 111A 171PTS 155GP
Marner 48G 115A 163PTS 163GP
