I think him and Jack will be close. The narrative that Eichel will easily be the better player should be thrown out the door now. Marner is legit and will be elite.
On first watch I couldn't believe my eyes... On second watch the video is definitely sped up in places. Still incredible edgework, just not as inhuman as this video suggests.
i need it to be October now.
Fun Fact:
- When comparing rookie seasons, Mitch Marner produced more points (61 v. 56), a higher PPG rate (.792 v. .691), CF% (50.1% v. 47.8%), and +/- (even v. -16) with a comparable oZS% (55.9% v. 55.1%) than Jack Eichel in over two minutes less of avg. TOI. Marner, in said less TOI, also blocked more shots (39 v. 25), had a similar amount of hits (41 v. 43), and had more takeaways (67 v. 43).
Existential Rhetorical question of the day: is the big centre truly better than small playmaking winger when the small playmaking winger is actually better at more than just producing points?
Jack Eichel is closer to Matthews level than he is to Marner.
Eichel is big, strong, fast and hard shot and can do things Marner simply can't because of the size advantage.
Marner is a highly skilled playmaking winger with great vision and creativity, but point production is really the only true comparable to Eichel in a 1-1. But in a discussion that includes the big picture Eichel is the "better" player.
seriously? I'm still waiting for summer here. October on is Florida and watching the Panthers.
seriously. i hate summer, and i hate not having hockey round. only four more weeks or so and it's training camp/hockey news then actual hockey.

Not sure what's crazier? You hating summer or Mess hating Marner?
He’s a pretty easy guy to get along with. He’s got a tonne of energy. He’s just a great kid all around. He works hard. He’s just an unbelievable talent. I don’t think I’ve ever played with a guy that is so small and so dynamic and can make plays that you just don’t see coming. He’s going to be a great player in this league for a long time. His energy in the dressing room is unbelievable and he’s always got a smile on his face. He’s going to be a key part of that team for a long time. The Leafs are definitely lucky to have him.

if i could do this to summer so it was winter/spring (thus hockey season) all year round, i would:
Not fair comparison given Marner plays on a better team with a much better system/coach and easier usage. I agree Marner is being underrated by other teams though.

and sitting on the coach watching Marner during the Winter are both enjoyable pass times.
Well, that would account for your size obsession....
Seriously, Mitch can very easily end up better than both Eichel and Matthews - his smarts, vision, and work ethic are out of this world.
