you could make that case for almost any of the top nucks players over any of the top leafs players
boeser is also more important to his team than tavares (leafs 105pt team without JT)
doesnt mean he is better

I reckon on how you personally value the following:
Marner just may be the most important, or best, player on a Stanley Cup contender
Boeser being taken off the Canucks would be relatively cataclysmic, and may actually make things so toxic in Vancouver that ownership may need to make drastic changes
Nylander may be the difference between another first round exit, and playing deep into May, June? Aka what he could return to round out their D with an impact player on the back

The Sedins were playing behind Boeser(and Horvat) actually.
I think that speaks more to the lack of comparable talent surrounding him. Doesn't increase his overall worth.

That’s an incredibly short sighted comment. Boeser EASILY breaks 60 points and possibly 70 without the freak injury.

You think he wouldn't have hit 60 if he hadn't missed 20 games? I'm sure you have no trouble when people say "he hasn't even hit 70 points" when discussing Matthews.

All these opinions are useless. Especially because of the small gap existing between Marner > Boeser and then a large gap between Boeser > Nylander.
Reality doesn't add up with these gaps.
Marner was trash first half of the season. Large gap between him and Nylander. Nylander was easily a tier above to begin the season.
Second half total 180. Marner was the best player on the team and created a large gap between him and Nylander. Nylander was having a hard time finding his game when Matthews got injured. Marner finally hit a groove with Kadri.
To early to tell who will be better of the 3 or take any homer opinions serious (the ones who claim so confidently there exists a gap between any).
They're all amazing and will probably continue to flip flop in terms of whose better at times.

I really really like Marner. Brock could overtake him, but it’s not what I would bet. Can’t see Nylander overtaking anyone sans injuries.
So while I agree that things can change quickly with kids, I think most of Marner’s change was role and linemates.
That’s a pretty bad way to look at it. He did miss 20 games. He had a better PPG then both Marner and Nylander. On a much worse team.
No there isn’t. Any given season willy can and will be better than mitch and boesser. William is almost as good as mitch.
Vancouver vs. Toronto threads always seems to get so toxic, so it's nice to see this one stay on track for more than a few pages.
As a Nuck fan myself I have my biasis for certain players but this one's pretty simple to factor. As mentioned before Boeser is one season in as a pro (not even a full season) you can already see what he brings to the table and the pure game changer he is on a nightly basis, Marner too. I don't get that same 'thing" from Nylander, of course he is a fantastic young talent but I just don't have him ahead of the other two.
Marner is the clear leader of the three for now, I do see potentially Boeser surpassing him if he can stay healthy and have relatively reliable linemates. Marner has been able to show he is only getting better consistently over the past 2 years and quite possibly could end up even being the best forward on his own team.
I think this honestly should have bee Matthews vs Marner vs Boeser, yes Matthews would be a top but i feel it's much closer

not initially
he was slated to start the season on the third line with burmi and gagner then was scratched for the first two games.
no one expected that breakout season so to compare him with two guys who were already producing and expected to do so, is odd and just makes this thread look like flame bait
he may very well repeat last year's pre injury success, but let's see it first
