Matthews, Marner and Nylander vs Scheifele, Laine and Ehlers

[Snowman]

The Leafs play in a way easier division, but I'll still take the Jets.

 

[82Ninety42011]

I'll take the Jets trio for now but in a year or two it will be the Leafs trio. Both teams have an exciting group though !!

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Add Tavares and Wheeler and it could still go either way

 

[Saitama]

So this is just going to be a big thread of Jets fans vs Leafs fans with the odd neutral chiming in, so nothing new there.

But can we all agree that both teams fans have an amazing season to look forward to? Seriously, we are a couple of lucky fanbases with what is coming up in the next few years!

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

The scary thing is last year the ppg between all three players was scary close, like damn near the same

Matthews 1.01 Scheifele 1
Marner 0.84 Laine 0.85
Nylander 0.74 Ehlers 0.73

The difference last year was mere a point or two between all comparables. And the marginally more healthy team last year won(leafs). Who ever is healthier this year even by a slim margin should win this year. Unless a player(s) like explodes offensively which is anybodies guess among these great young talents.
One of the best polls on hf tbh, super close.

How is it that every player on the Jets is the product of some other Jets player...it’s a never ending cycle.

Come on now. Marner does not need other players to get assists. He assists on his own goals. He is that good

 

[A4T1L6]

Matthews=Schief
Marner=Laine
Nylander=Ehlers

 

[34]

This shouldn't be close

Scheifele> Matthews

Laine>Marner

Ehlers> Nylander

hahaha

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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

But Laine is the much better goal scorer, or does that argument only work when trying to compare matthews to mcdavid?

 

[Pyrophorus]

Where is Tavares.

This is the factor that makes me say Leafs.

 

[Pyrophorus]

This shouldn't be close

Scheifele> Matthews

Laine>Marner

Ehlers> Nylander

In reality, the numbers say different.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Matthews=Schief
Marner=Laine
Nylander=Ehlers

I would've given the edge to Schief right now.

 

[34]

This is the factor that makes me say Leafs.

Easily. There is a reason Tavares was left out.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Add Tavares and Wheeler and it could still go either way

Last year in his 30's, Wheeler demolished his previous high. Does he go back 25-35, or continue with 25-65 at age 32?
I have no idea what JT will do with the Leafs. He ebbs and flows-he should produce anywhere from 65-85pts.

 

[Ctrain2k]

In reality, the numbers say different.

What numbers?

 

[Pyrophorus]

What numbers?

Points.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Points.

The collective 3 extra points?

 

[Skolman]

This is the factor that makes me say Leafs.

No, the factor is that you only ever vote for the Leafs/Leafs players. Don't pretend otherwise.

If Tavares is indeed the "factor that makes you say Leafs". Why doesn't potentially adding Wheeler get brought into conversation?

I explained above. Can a 32 year old Wheeler, replicate his 30pt jump, unlike his past seasons?

 

[Pyrophorus]

The collective 3 extra points?

Exactly. Pretty negligible.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Exactly. Pretty negligible.

If it’s negligible why did you even bring it up?

 

[Regal]

If it’s negligible why did you even bring it up?

The poll is literally asking who scores more...

 

[Regal]

I explained above. Can a 32 year old Wheeler, replicate his 30pt jump, unlike his past seasons?

He likely doesn't have to replicate it though. His 91 points were 5 more than Tavares's career high, and he's had more points than Tavares in 3 straight seasons now, with 74 and 78 the previous two years.

 

[zeke]

should be close, even with the jets trio getting their huge advantage in PP time.

 

[Pyrophorus]

If it’s negligible why did you even bring it up?

YOU said it was easily Jets, to me the numbers look pretty equal.
