Marner or Draisaitl

[34]

Is it the Leafs fault the Oilers dealt Taylor Hall, messed up on Yakupov, spent a bundle on Lucic who quickly turnes into an alabatross and haven’t drafted well to save their life.

Besides Marleau and Tavares, the Leafs homegrown talent is what’s carrying them.

Exactly! Toronto built through the draft.

 

[M2Beezy]

Marner for me quite easy in this one

Marner is 20x better than Draisaitl. It not even f***ing close.

Should be a Marner vs McDavid

I rest my case....

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

How is this even close?

 

[Halla]

marner has easily blown past draisaitl now. 50pts vs 42 and 2 years younger. he also doesnt ride shotgun to mcdavid, but easily drives his own line

... yet plays with John Tavares.

Tavares isn't as good as McDavid

You didn’t answer the question.

Drai plays with McDavid, who is better than top 20 C Tavares right.

If Marner played with McDavid I guess he would score 150 + points.

Even beyond that, it’s clear to anyone who watches for 5 mins-

McDavid creates far more for Draisaitl than vice versa while Marner creates far more for Tavares than vice versa.

McDavid creates far more for Draisaitl than vice versa while Marner created fat more for Tavares than vice versa.

Agree with this.

Hey, I’m just saying. If you held him to the same standards you lot hold Draisaitl to, you’d bring up Rich Clune and free Colton Orr from Don Cherry’s basement to play with Marner and still expect PPG production. If Marner’s so good why does he need a great linemate? Why can’t he do it on his own/with slugs?

Marner went ppg w Kadri to close out last season, how's that for elevating play ?

 

[Highway1]

Gotta go with Marner. He’s one of if not the best passers in the league. Kid is great but Toronto fans better hope he takes a hometown discount .

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Give me Draisaitl.

Big two way C. Can produce with or without McDavid. Has one of the best backhand passes in the league and a great shot (unlike Marner's muffin).

Expect him to zip by Marner in points here rather quickly while bringing a much better 200ft all around game to the table.

How’s that zipping going?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

He finally scored? About time.

Maybe he'll get to 10 before the New Year!

This aged well bud...as did your statements getting owned all thread

 

[The Examiner]

Marner has 7 more points with Draisaitl playing 2:19 (1:02 on the PP) more. Draisaitl is also 1.5 years older and often gets to play with the best player in the world. (Over 65% of his points have come playing with McDavid).

Marner also has a lot more takeaways while having a lot fewer giveaways.

Add the fact that Marner is an absolute treat to watch, and it’s not that close, IMO.

Draisaitl is a great player but I don’t think he’s on Marner’s level (at least this year).

Watch a leafs game. Marner is clearly the best player on his line.

 

[Papi 4 Hart]

Draistl is very much a by-product of Mcdavid. Tavares is also a by-product of Marner.

Not even close where these players would be without their linemates. Marner would still be producing at an amazing pace. Keep your stick on the ice and you will collect goals around Marner. He is a magician to watch.

 

[6ix]

Marner easily. People forget that Marner also got JVR his career high in goals and Bozak had his best point season when he was on Marner’s line.

Drai is a big winger that struggles to produce when not with McDavid.

Yeah and Matthews vs Nugent Hopkins

Tavares has shown he's a top 10 player without Marner. He's not a by-product of anyone.

 

[BlueBaron]

Doesn't Marner get most of his points on Tavares' wing lol??

Are you saying Tavares is as good as McDavid?

Thank you, that is kind of you to say.

 

[BlueBaron]

Just as clueless as the leafs fans who think Drai is a product of McDavid. Like it's pretty obvious that you don't watch any western conference teams, let alone the Oilers

I think it's great Leafs have elite C's in Matthews and Tavares who can carry around the very average and small one dimentional winger in Marner and a money greedy swede in Nylander.
Great C depth, best in the NHL!

Credibility 0.

 

[BlueBaron]

I think Marner is better.

But I do think it's funny how sure Leafs fans are sure Marner is better but also sure he will sign for less than Drai because he's such a nice guy.

A bit of wishful thinking but he is a hometown boy so we might get a slight discount. He wants to die a Leaf.

He'll get more than Dra but RFA's are now inflated due to Eichel and Dra's contracts. I think those contracts and the fall out are going to result in CBA chaos.

Babs recently said Marner makes Tavares better and Tavares makes the whole team better.

I have to think if Kadri was his C his numbers would not be this crazy but luckily for us that is not a problem.
