Oh Look Marchand is back in the top 5 in scoring

[VainGretzky]

I knew when he was hovering around 35th in scoring he would turn on the burners after a slow 1st half of the season for his standards. He truly is one of the most talented players in the league an honestly makes Bergeron a better player imo. We always see tons about Mcdavid , Kucherov Matthews Eichel so forth on here as Marchand quietly keeps being of of the best producers last 3 plus seasons . The most underrated star in the league imo.

So is Draisaitl!

Good for Marchand though. He gets way too much hate.

5th in points and 3rd in PPG the past 3 seasons (behind McDavid and Kucherov). I figured he would keep hovering around 20th like he was a few weeks ago, as players who reach a new level of scoring at his age usually don't stay near the top for more than a season or two, but he's turned it up. Hard not to have him as a top 10 forward right now.

179 pts in his past 143 regular season games played.

264 pts in his past 223 regular season games played.

Despite the hype and preconceived notions that come with super high drafts picks, a couple of the names you mention in the OP are nowhere near the player that Marchand is.

I would say he gets the right amount of hate, since, you know the whole licking other people's face thing... and the bad hits.

Talented player for sure, every team would love to have, but just so damn unlikable.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

100% agreed. Marchand is my pick for the most underrated player on these forums

[SpinningEdge]

He licked other people in games. So for that he will always be #1 in league for being a huge douchebag

He’s not underrated. He gets a lot of attention - but most of it is negative and that’s all his fault.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Funny how contracts work out. Has he become a UFA just a few seasons later his cap hit could be closer to 10 million. Such a steal he’s on now.

 

[Mathew Barzal]

I have soft spot for talented dirtbags. Can't wait to see Bruins vs Leafs.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Id be happy id Detroit drafted 10 marchands and 10 Wilsons.

 

[CDJ]

I’ve been saying it for years now.

He is by far the most entertaining player in the entire league. It’s not close. Everything he does is must watch. Even his bullshit is compelling

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Oh look, Marchand is behind Draisaitl as 5th.

By the way, what media has been talking about Eichel and Matthews. I don't hear much about those players who struggle to crack top 20.

 

[Ghetty Green]

Great player. Would take him on my team anyday. Top 5 winger.

Yeah but which player wins hockey games? Marchand is the better player by a good margin imo

 

[Macbanan]

First he licks your favorite player in the face and then he scores on your team. Gotta love talented agitators

So Marchand can win games singlehandedly. Say that while looking at the mirror. Let that sink in.

Nah he’s just significantly better in the areas of the ice that win you hockey games than Draisatl is (his end, the neutral zone). All this while being his equal offensively. It is what it is

 

[King Mapes]

I went to elementary school with him. He was always that kind of person you hated

Talented but very hateable and for good reason.

 

[Terry Yake]

marchand going from a pest to a 30 goal, 80+ point scorer is quite incredible

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

That's my boy!

He's the modern day Theo Fleury.

Lol no

Marchand is a bad guy. He gets plenty of hate and thats a good thing. Its more entertaining for the sport when there are bad guys

Fantastic player though

80+ pts?

The guy may hit 100 this year and scored at a 102 pt clip last season as well.
