Is MacKinnon really that much different than Tavares. They are very close, with edge going to Mac. And yes Rantanen had the better pace, but obviously you knew that. Be honest. And they are the same draft year so it’s pretty weak for you to try and use age as an argument. And now you’re using total games for point totals when I quite clearly only addressed the past 2 seasons. you are extremely hypocritical and blatantly moving the goalposts. So please explain how Marner is so much more impactful.
But I’m honestly not surprised to see this kind of post from you.
Is MacKinnon really much different than Tavares? Is that a serious question? They’re completely different types of players? Pucks skills and IQ may be similar but Mac has game breaking wheels that make his skills much more dynamic. He’s dangerous in more areas of the ice and that creates more room for his linemates.
I don’t have enough time to explain all the advantages MacKinnon has over Nazem Kadri, who Mitch was well over PPG over the second half of last season with.. of Tyler Bozak, who will still be his most common centre to this point in his career.
You made no mention of pace. Given how I’ve seen you respond to those who’ve used pace in discussions about one of Marner’s teammates in relation to missed time injured, I didn’t think it’d be a road you’d go down. That would be hypocritical of you.
You’re claiming I moved goal posts but that’s the first I quoted you on this? How does that work?
Re; age - it’s not a huge age disparity as much as it was just a matter of Marner needing more time to fill out. He came to camp at like 167lbs his first year. Particularly in his rookie year, he got banged up a lot. He was always going to need more time than that of someone with a 6’4 frame.
Arbitrarily evaluating just two seasons makes your objective quite clear.
No need for personal attacks. If you were indeed being honest and genuine, you wouldn’t feel the need.
