Not even the best passer in his draft. An argument could be made that all McJesus, Barzal, Rantanen, and Eichel are better. You may not agree with all of them but can’t argue all are worse.

Instead of over Power skating our youth, maybe NHL hopefuls should learn more complex parallel thinking ?

Some of us can see the game at an elite level... it's a gift ... 
Joking aside, I have always been able to see the play unfold before it happens, unfortunately for me I couldn't skate, I was small as a kid and too dumb not to avoid contact. I didn't crack the 6ft, 200lbs level till well after my competitive playing days were over.
What Mitch does is similar to what an elite QB would do. Pass the puck (football) where the receiver will be in 3 seconds, not where he is now.
It's hard to explain if you don't already do it, some people can do the math in their heads extremely fast, this guy is going this fast, on this trajectory, he will be here in 3 seconds... Mitch is able to do the math not only for his own players but he is doing it simultaneously for his opponents too, once you start to see the game in this fashion you will not be able to see it the way you did before.
Buddy of mine is like me, when we watch the game we usually watch everyone but the puck carrier, which tells us typically how the play will unfold.

He's incredibly creative... but he seems to telegraph/force passes often (especially the cross crease ones on the PP)... and I don't see him sauce as good as some of the best passers. Please prove me wrong though.

That sure was sweet. I don't care whether he is or not the best passer as long as he continuous doing his magic, he gets my vote

For the amount of time he tries to do it, he should strip the puck off a lot of people. Last night he probably tried to do that lazy stick thing he does about 20 times.

Sign of the times, you tried that move through the crease on Scott Stevens and you'd be drinking your breakfast through a straw. He took advantage of a poor d-man, ridiculous play.

Marner has the 3rd best A1/60 out of that group ES, and by a mile the best A1/60 on the PP. He has the 2nd best all-situations A1/60. They are all pretty f***in good.

I remember 12 months ago when Marner couldn't do anything right. He's really developing into a star player. What really impressed me was that hit he took in the Blues game to keep the puck in the offensive zone. When the smallest guy on your team does that, it says something.

Help is on the way.
So you did not watch the game last night then. Good to know. He had a fantastic game at stripping pucks as well as backcheching and stopping passes going cross ice in our zone with the lazy stick. At least use a game when he was not not fantastic with using his stick when you post nonsense.
By the way that D man he made look silly is Buff who is as mean as they come.

Such ignorance , Eddie O was on Sportsnet today and he said without prompting the thing that impressed him most about Marner was his back checking, how effective he is at stripping pucks. What does he know right? Too funny.
except he didn't pass it to Tavares? he took a shot on goal and Tavares potted the rebound
