Zibanejad was quiet tonight no doubt but give him another season or two and we'll see the same type of consistent play Stone brings to the table

better player is stone. Zibby will get more opportunity and have more hits and shots which will make up for a likely 5-10 point gap. If stone were a center and played with ryan on the top line it would be him easily but hes currently a rw playing behind ryan. I highly doubt stone will play over ryan. saying that stone is one of the hottest players in the league since the allstar break. hes putting points up at will

zibby puts up a ton of hits... i dont think stone does that. so despite stone being a superior player for your purposes zibanejad might be better.


I took stone, hoffman, Nelson and lee in my fantasy hockey pool. I'm destroying it along with getzlaf and shattenkirk being studs

Mark Stone has been Ottawa's best forward in 2015 & Hoffman is a close second.

Michalek and Turris before Hoff though.

It's not like Zibby was a slouch this game. He played quite well actually.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Stone is getting closer, I agree for goals and assists and +/-, Stone is better. For PIM PPP, SOG, and way more HITS Zibanejad is better.

 

[King Karlsson]

Preface: I love Zib, he's playing great right now and is developing quite nicely into a big-body 2C.

But... Mark Stone is playing like the 2nd best player on our team behind Karlsson. Every single night, he turns the puck over and generates a a zone entry or at least a shot on goal numerous times. His vision and passing skills are excellent, combined with a sneaky shot and much improved footspeed. His IQ is so high, he just reads the play so well and has a very active stick to knock down and intercept passes and quickly go the other way. No to mention he can work the boards like nobody's business.

This isn't a slight to Zib, it's just that Stone is so good lately that I would find it hard to pick Zib over him.

stone makes a ton of space on the ice by winning board battles against multiple oppenents quickly. he would have been a nice fit with spezza and alfie

 

[Boud]

Probably my two favorite players on the team. Zibby is developing into the player we wished he could become, Stone has been arguably our best forward this season. Wouldn't pick between both.

 

[Minister of Offence]

The difference is the guy I want with the puck on his stick at the end of the game is Stone, no question.

Hockey sense - most of the time - separates the really good players from outstanding ones.

Libby's turning into this teams best centre at 21, which is huge. That's probably bigger than Stone becoming, arguably, the teams best forward. Positionally, the centre is so important. But player to player I go with Stone because he's doing more himself....doing more with less.

 

[Stylizer1]

Zibanejad was my favorite prospect. I actually have 1/4 Persian in my blood so I've been especially rooting for him to make an impact.

But I just voted mark stone

Hes unreal, like legit star in the making. The takeaways are just getting silly. That alone takes an insane amount of skill and IQ, but he just oozes offense.

I'm still hoping Zibanejad makes a similar impact, but Stone is almost a surefire bet in my mind at this point.

I like getting stoned so I voted for Stone, lol

No way, it sucks getting stoned by the goalie in hockey

Well put. Zibanejad is good enough that as 1C he will have more of an impact than Stone as a 1/2RW, but come crunch time, Stone is the better player.

I see what you did there

Worth noting that, currently Stone has exactly same number of goals and points as Bobby Ryan - 18g,32a,50p. If Stone gets similar numbers for a couple of years in an row, he is going to be paid like 6-7 mil a year...

Ryan mostly got that money cause of the 4 30 goals in a row on his resume mostly. Plus he's a legit top liner who cracked 70 and has been carrying his line and was BEAST last year.

Although if Stone plays like he has does it repeatedly and with improvement, i easily give him 6.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Ryan turned into a complete player after being an elite point producer, he's basically what a lot of people asked Spezza to become: sacrifice offense for defense

Stone's skating made it so that he had to be smarter than everybody else so he's got a leg up on Ryan in terms of "level of completeness" but Ryan has more skill: Stone doesn't seem to dangle a lot (which is fine)
