Mitch Marner or Johnny Gaudreau?

[Machinehead]

Right now? Gaudreau.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

needs to be more descriptive. is this who you take moving forward or who the better player is?

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

The only reason to take Gaudreau is contract. Marner is miles ahead of where Gaudreau was career wise. Both great offensive talents. Marner is better defensively. Marner gets leaned on in one goal playoff games. Marner has been a playoff beast his whole life. Marner isn't a giveaway machine.

Literally, contract is the only reason to vote otherwise.

 

[Saitama]

Marner easily.

Contract aside moving forward I'd take Marner but it's a lot closer then some are saying. Both are great players however Marner does seem to care more. Talent wise they are pretty even.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Literally, contract is the only reason to vote otherwise.

Until Marner signs his next contract we won't even know what it looks like to say Gaudreau has the better deal.

@WhiskeyYourTheDevils Your boy needs you!

 

[Fugazy]

I'd have to go with Marner, but it's a difficult choice.

 

[TimeZone]

Marner is four years younger and already better. Expect the gap to widen over the next several Seasons.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Gaudreau has had a poor series, but then again he's been the only guy on his line doing anything.

He's still the better player by a decent margin, a 3 game sample size doesn't change that.

 

[Beyonder91]

No Gaudreau thread is official until Whiskey posts.
Now we can start!

 

[DFF]

Marner, probably for another few games before the Leafs exit the playoff

Is that the life which he has not won a playoff series yet?

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

I was gonna vote Marner, but before I hit submit I accidentally switched it to Gaudreau.

GO GAUDREAU!!!!

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

This may surprise you but he has a life pre NHL.

 

[780il]

Easily Marner

The guy plays with 1000x the intensity and passion of Johnny crybaby. Electric offensively but hustles his ass off all over the ice.

One of my favourite players in the league to watch and the best player on the Leafs imo...

 

[DFF]

[Rants Mulliniks]

When I said his entire life, what did you think that meant?

It means shit to me as when people discuss veteran NHL players they normally talk about what they have done in the NHL

 

[supsens]

He makes less then Nylander its going to be a better deal.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

It means **** to me as when people discuss veteran NHL players they normally talk about what they have done in the NHL

Good for you for misreading then getting upset?

Reality is, most years of Marner's hockey life, he has managed to actually produce more in playoff hockey than regular season. Hence he is a playoff beast. Conversely, Gaudreau has only managed once to be better in money hockey (by 0.01). When something repeats itself many times, it tends to lend credence to it.

If you just want to talk playoff NHL hockey then great: Mitch Marner has been 49% more productive at NHL playoff hockey.....by the tender age of 21.

 

[Future GOAT]

Gotta go with the best player on the Leafs in this one.

 

[Blueboy]

Marner is only 21

 

[Kreator]

Johnny Allstar or Mitchell Everything? One guy dives and whines, the other just plays a complete game.NOT CLOSE if you wanna win in the playoffs.

 

[Devonator]

Not even close...Marner by a mile....until that little gaffer can do something in the playoffs, it is Marner ainec.....
