[AuraSphere]

Boeser bleeds chances against, he’s not at all good defensively by most metrics. The sedins blew him out of the water last year. For example, Boeser 2.51 xga/60 while the twins had 2.22 and 2.21. Is marner awesome defensively? No not really. But I’m not convinced Boeser is better.

Twins got cushiest minutes in history

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Marner isn't even that good lol

Marner is pretty damn good...

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Marner isn't even that good lol

lol ikr like wat a scrub can't even play cuz he's not that good lol lmfao bum rofl lol

 

[Holymakinaw]

Both very good players! I think I've seen this poll before but that's okay, because it's a close one!!

I'll go with Marner.

 

[tony d]

Marner.

 

[Tkachuky]

Very different players, hard to compare. If you are looking for goals and physical play Boeser is your man. If you want playmaking and hockey sense Marner is for you.

Perfect answer.

 

[Tkachuky]

Ill literally bet you $100 he won't, screenshot this and end of next season well see who wins.

I’ll bet him $1000 BB outscores (GOALS) any of the holy 3.

 

[Notsince67]

71 NHL games is not a sample size where I would lift Boeser over the high pedigree of Marner.

Marner. We're gonna be seeing a significant regression from Boeser this year - count on it.

You say this in every single thread that a leaf is in and its never about the leaf. Its embarrassing.

I'd take that bet for Matthews.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

I'd take that bet for Matthews.

That would be a very close bet, would not feel comfortable taking either player

Went with Boeser, but can understand why one would go with Marner. Basically comes down to whether your team needs a goal scorer or playmaker, both are going to be consistent 70-PPG players throughout their respective careers

I'll second that bet for Matthews and double it.

Marner is in now way poor defensively. Are you just equating physical play to defence?

Other than that, your assessment seems accurate. Two great players.

Boeser
-goal scoring
-physical

Marner
-playmaking/vision
-skating

I'm not saying physical=defense, what I'm trying to say is that even if you give both players the even edge of every other defense aspect in the game, once you get to phyical play Boeser gets the edge just because of size.

 

[CP4]

Also to add, in no way am I saying Marner is poor defensively, just that I give the SLIGHT edge to Boeser.

 

[93gilmour93]

Marner isn't even that good lol

Neither are your posts lol

cool, just checking. Couple of dandy players regardless

So we're in the business of pretending 29 goal Brock Boeser is on the level of 40-goal scoring rookie Matthews eh?

I'll bet Matthews outscores Boeser significantly and you never come back to this thread.

You mean 34 goal scoring sophomore Matthews?

 

[M2Beezy]

Boeser quite easily here. Have him at 6 in a 2015 redraft and Marner around 10

 

[Dion TheFluff]

I think their strengths kind of even eachother out, Boeser is clearly the better goal scorer and more physical/defensive player, but Marner is the better playmaker and skater. Both incredibly valuable young players though.

Boeser may be more physical but Marner is definetely better defensively

LMFAO.

Nope I mean 40-goal scoring Matthews. Please read.

by the measurables, Marner was a considerably better defensive player this year. Much better Corsi/Fenwick, much better relatives of both, much better giveaway to takeaway ratio. Imo, it was also really evident to watch, Marner was incredible at stealing pucks back this year - regularly caught defensemen along the boards and came away with the puck and was very good at picking passes in the neutral zone

I think it also gets lost that Marner was expected to be a really good defensive player like Giroux, people fixate on his offense and that's he's small so they expect him to be a Drouin type
