Marners playoff stats are definitely better
best of his draft class in factMarners playoff stats are definitely better
Who cares who this board thinks is better as long as Marner ends up costing the Leafs $12M a year life will be good.
ThisToo close to call. Eichel has the positional advantage and is an absolute beast when you look at the raw tools (the may be 5 or so guys who have Eichel's level of speed and strength). Marner may (and I stress may) be slightly better and more exciting, but Sabres absolutely didn't mess up that pick. Just turned out to be a draft where a lot of teams got amazing players.
What am I resorting to?What haters are resorting to now that the Leafs are a good team.

I look at things like Matthews quality of competition, his 5 on 5 production, his career metrics vs the league, his position whereas Marner gets sheltered minutes.
But Marner won a poll on HF? That has a pretty small sample of fans and pretty much meaningless IMO.

I got roasted hard by suggesting that Marner was more skilled that Eichel.
Why is Marner getting harder minutes now? Because he's on Tavares line.You do realize that Matthews was our most sheltered forward this season, right?
I'd say right now the majority of leaf fans think marner is better.
Tavares faces top lines. Marner was a bottom six Kessel with the Pens sheltered darling pre Tavares. That is when he played his way off the 4th line but sure, Babcock just adores Marner....Marner faces top lines. Babcock said if Matthews was going to play with Marner he would have to be ready to play against top lines.
