marner is better but I might rather have Rantanen depending on his contract

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Rantanen is the better player. More proven, bigger, and better defensively in my opinion. They both play with all star line mates, so that kinda cancels out here.

He’ll probably get overpaid now tho thanks to Marner/Matthews

 

[koyvoo]

I prefer Marner

I have to respectfully disagree with you here, Mikko Rantanen can do it all, big wingers like Mikko Rantanen are very rare. Marner is no slouch either.

Marner is better 5v5 and on the PK, Rantanen is better on the PP

I have watched Rantanen more, so that is why I am leaning towards him but they both are hell of good players. That 2015 draft will go down as one of the best in history.

Leafs fan -> These guys are so close it's ridiculous at this point in their career. Rantanen is bigger... Even strength, he gets to play with MacKinnon, who I'd rate over Tavares, so Rantanen has that advantage. Marner is a great back checker, doing very well on the PK, and is becoming very strong Defensively. Rantanen scores more.

Can I have both please?

Rantanen is going to have a much better contract, so I guess I take Rantanen. Otherwise, it's going to come down to fan allegiance, or which team you hate. These guys are close, it's great to have such talents in the league.

Rantanen plays on the PK?

It is hard for Marner to prove how good he is without the puck (outside of killing penalties) because he seems to always have the puck when he's on the ice

They're really close. I voted Marner but it's flip a coin.

I could see either of the 2 ending up as the better player moving forward

Now the bar for good defense is simply being put on the PK?

Guess that explains why Matthews is weak defensively

Marner ainec

I think youre splitting hairs with these guys right now. I like Rantanens size advantage and that might be the only thing that makes a difference here one way or the other. Offensively theyre really close,defensively I think they are as well. Not gonna vote because I think its too close but leaning slightly Rantanen if I'm building a team just because hes 6'4

 

[Taluss]

I think I'd lean Marner

Rantanen AINEC

 

[Saidin]

I'd like to see a 'too close to call' option.

 

[Dekes For Days]

ES Points/GP:

Marner: 0.63
Rantanen: 0.55

PP Points/60

Marner: 7.19
Rantanen: 5.78

Marner has been better at ES (despite playing less per game) and on the PP over their ELCs, despite Rantanen playing on the 2nd most stacked line in hockey.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Homer but I think Rantanen is the 2nd coming of Jagr. Marner is amazing but Rantanens ability to control the puck the corners using his body is a skill few have. Jagrs huge ass helped him and Rantanen is following suit.

Doesn't outproduce him, so how is he better?

Good question. What is the bar?
Show your work.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I don't think there's an argument you can drop here and prove either one is better.. they're two players who are in the same tier, yet it's apples to oranges.

Whatever you prefer. Flashy Marner or big & strong Rantanen.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

I put a premium on goal-scoring so I'd go with Rantanen

Rantanen

He literally did the last 2 seasons

 

[Highmarker]

Contracts aside I think Marner is better.
