Mitch Marner or Matthew Tkachuk

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

There are 93 first line players.
And a second line player being 55th isn't impressing you?

Did you just read what you wanted to read? I said it was great production

There are a number of players like Mitch Marner in the league. There's only one Matty Tkachuk.
Every team wants a Tkachuk. Lots already have a Marner.

 

[JPeeper]

Ask any fanbase in the west who their most hated player is, it is going to be Tkachuk 90% of the time. He does this while being an offensive catalyst and defensive stalwart.

Tkachuk AINEC, there are a dozen guys in the league who can do what Marner can, put up points. There are 2 guys in the league who can do what Tkachuk does (the other being Marchand).

I think theyre really different players but pretty even as well. I think in a vacuum Toronto would probably take Tkachuk because of how he plays is something the Leafs dont have in their lineup

 

[DirtDiver]

Since Calgary alrdy has a better version of Marner I would have to say Tkachuck.

 

[Taluss]

Love Tkachuk but have to take Marner here

Pretty much this, Tkachuk does so many things besides scoring that helps his team.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Marner.... but I absolutely love the way Tkachuk plays

 

[CraigsList]

This is the worst poll ever. I love both of these players.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Tkachuk is a Marchand-type player which is amazing.

This season Marner has been incredible, adding another gear to his offense and strong defense with his role on the PK.

Pretty much this, Tkachuk does so many things besides scoring that helps his team.

So does Marner though, lots of teams do not have a Marner type of player, his all around game is severely underrated on here.

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Two of my fav's, slight edge to Marner.

 

[ACC1224]

I'd love Tkachuk on the Leafs but not a chance I would move Marner for him.

Love both of them. Tkachuk might be my favorite player in the league, but gun to my head I probably go with Marner if I'm trying to remain unbiased. Comparing them:

Passing/playmaking ability: Marner > Tkachuk. Tkachuk is a very clever passer just like Marner, but he's not quite the skater Marner is, which makes Mitch just a little more dangerous in that area.

Goal scoring: Tkachuk > Marner. Tkachuk just has a little more diverse toolbox there, being such a good net front presence in addition to the great wristers from the slot the two have.

Driving play: Marner > Tkachuk. Again, this is where skating ability reigns supreme. Tkachuk isn't slow and he's very strong on his edges, but Marner has another gear.

Defense: Both very good, and I'd say about even. Marner gets more takeaways, but Tkachuk is phenomenal on the boards and plays with a level of physicality that is so effective in shoving opposing players out of dangerous areas.

Both guys will be top 10 overall wingers in the league over the next decade.
