Goal scorer has more goals than playmaker. In other news, water is wet. Meanwhile, Marner is a better point and primary point producer, and unlike Rantanen, PKs.
Pavel Bure played PK, doesn't mean he was good defensively. I don't see any difference in their defensive game. Rantanen more than makes up for it, whatever difference they may have with his size and physical game.
The gap is bigger than that when not intentionally ignoring their respective situations, as shown in post #490.
I didn't actually say anything about defensive ability, though that's another point in Marner's favour, now that you mention it.
Not sure why you think size matters, if you're not getting better results from it.
Are we not still waiting for your explaination of why RNH is a 20 point player?
Doesnt Matthews have by far his best stats against Ottawa? It’s almost like players get more points against weaker competition
I did the past 3 seasons, as looking on Naturalstattrick (which limits to 3 seasons) is easier than doing the calculations manually, and that sample represents the sample where they had similar roles, instead of including a season 4 years ago where Rantanen played with Mackinnon, and Marner played on the 3rd line with Bozak.
Matthews has feasted on everyone...unlike Rantanen who still hasnt scored against vegas.
Probably because there's no such thing as a good team in the North.
You might but if you average out points last year, the West is the weakest division.
The bottom teams are irrelevant to this discussion. The California teams are bad but I'd take Colorado, Vegas, St Louis and Minnesota over Toronto in a series.
You're free to take whoever you choose.
Funny for a team who hasn't made it out the first round in like 16 years. Pretty sure a Franchise with a record like that would've folded already if it wasn't in Toronto
