Matthews, Marner and Nylander vs Scheifele, Laine and Ehlers

[kk87]

In terms of point production, could be extremely close; I see Matthews, Scheifele, Laine, and Marner likely all being in the 80-90 range, and Ehlers and Nylander around 65-75. Not gonna bother voting

I see a big year out of Matthews and Nylander. Marner and Laine I think could regress a bit.

 

[Buf fan in Nash]

They will produce similar numbers. The big factor is contracts and while we aren't sure what Laine will get i don't think it will be more than $1m/per more than Marner gets.

Scheifele @ 6.125m > Matthews 10m-11m?
Laine = Marner (I expect Laine to get singed for slightly higher and they are close already)
Ehlers @ 6m per > Nylander @ 7m-8m?

 

[Morbo]

It's pretty easily the Jets but that's not to say it isn't close

what?

 

[Duke Silver]

Matthews/Marner/Nylander are a collectively a full year younger, on average, than Scheifele/Laine/Ehlers. 21.5 to 22.5.

 

[Zamuz]

Laine has 1 more career point than Marner while playing with way better linemates. Marner has shown he can run a line from the wing while Laine has not, only being an elite finishing piece on a line. I don't think Laine > Marner

Well the thing is, Laine does his job much more effectively than Marner does his.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Should be a fairly close poll

 

[La Masse]

Lol at the people saying easily and AINEC one way or the other. If there’s a poll that should be pretty even its this one

You're right. Typically when you add a top player in the league to a line the wingers regress.

His PP production was pretty unsustainable

 

[TwoPiece]

Scheifele is the best of the 6 over the last 2 years. Have to go with WPG. Good poll, though.

 

[Saidin]

Won't vote because there's no "It's too close to call" option.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Super close.

 

[WillTheThrill]

What was the total points and ppg for the two trios last yr?

Last year the Leafs outscored The jets by 3 but Shieffele missed more games than Matthews.

 

[Sypher04]

It's actually kinda crazy how close their points were last year.

I'd say the biggest determining factors in who scores more will be effectiveness of each team's powerplay, icetime and obviously health.

Not with the anti-everything-Leafs crowd on the main board.

If the Leafs "lose" this poll by 15%, they've really won it.

BS.........Other players on the Jets have to do Laine's work for him!!!!!

Watch a game or 2

Laine actually finishes his work though.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Should be even.
Won't be.

Yeah too bad Bozak missed on more open nets from Marner passes than Laine had goals!!

Laine doesn’t need anyone to do the work for him. It just so happens that he is one of the most talented finishers in the league.

As for the poll. Too close to call

If they don't do the work for him he doesn't score....that simple!!!

C'mon you honestly believe you can score 44 goals by being deadweight....? Have a look at every goal his past 2 seasons...many arent a goal if that isent laine shooting and quite a few are where it is mainly laine doing most or all the work....its not in the ozone that laine needs help....

Well that seems quite debatable.
