Who do you think will have more points this upcoming season?

Marner's potential line going into the season:

Hyman-Tavares-Marner(soft confirmed by Babcock)

Laine's speculated linemates going into the season:

Ehlers-Little-Laine
OR
Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler

I think they both push for mid-high 70s. Laine is not guaranteed to play with Scheifele at EV, Marner is guaranteed with either to play with JT or AM34 which is a massive advantage if Laine is not with Scheifele. I think it's close, but Marner seems like the safer option to be ahead. I think Marner can be a 20ish goal 50-55+ish assist guy, while Laine will be 45-50 goals and 25-30 assists.

If Marner plays with Tavares I'd expect him to finish with more points.

Both around 70+. It could be close.

Voted Laine, as he seems to drive his own line more so than Marner. So he will be less dependant on others. But it might as well have been a coin toss.

Flip a coin basically.

If Laine gets to play with Scheif I like his odds (even if Marner plays with Tavares). I also have sort of a man-crush on Laine so I voted him.

I think at this stage in their career, the opposite is true, IMO.

I'm expecting both to go ~PPG this year.

Laine 45g 35a
Marner 25g 55a

It'll be a coin flip imo. Laine will blow Marner out of the water in terms of goals, Marner will destroy Laine's assist numbers. I'm gonna go with Marner due to him being able to play with Tavares year round whereas the Jets don't really have a good 2c.

 

[Skolman]

Marner

 

[Snowman]

I'll take the better player, Laine.

Love to hear the argument from leaf fans why Marner is more valuable lol

 

[DanM]

Man, you come across like the Leafs and their fans ran over your dog or something. Every thread, same schtick with posts attacking Leafs fans or their players.

Like is say in most threads like this, I read what was said previously, but I always sit back and laugh later lol

 

[Regal]

Love to hear the argument from leaf fans why Marner is more valuable lol

I mean, he has 23 more points currently

 

[Halla]

Marner is still losing this poll?

Mitch has 53 points
Laine has 30


perfect example of the ol' hf anti-leaf bias

 

[Halla]

I predict Marner will finish with 69 points... generational season

he should get to 69 pts by his 50th game

on pace for 27g/87a/114pts

what were you saying again about generational?

I think the fact that you need an argument made says more about you then anything else.

kinda set the bar a bit low for marner there. he was basically already a 20ish goal/near 50assist guy

he already has 40 apples, in 38 games. im guessing he breaks the 55 assist mark around game 50

current pace is 27g/87a

Weird bump

It’s probably the 23 more points that makes him more valuable.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Marner will likely double Laine's points this year.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Going forwad Laine's going to need to learn how to pass if he's ever going to be competitive with Marner in a points race

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Love to hear the argument from leaf fans why Marner is more valuable lol

Marner has 23 more points halfway through the season, and is on pace to finish with ~48 more points. That makes him a good pick in a poll asking which player will finish with more points this year. Since you base your decisions on which player doesn't play for the Leafs, I can understand this going over your head though

 

[LeafsNation75]

This poll and the other poll question asking who will get more points between Marner, Stamkos, Kane and Marchand is proof that Marner gets severely underrated since he plays for the Leafs and why no one can make assumptions that he won't get more points than any of those players.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Matthews will finish with more points than Laine and he missed a month lol

He gets under rated until it is time to talk contracts. Then he is getting 12 million a year.
