Kessel actually performs in the playoffs when his team needs him.
Marleau is at a .6 PPG in the playoffs in his career in nearly 200 playoff games.
He's a tin man and nothing you say will change my mind about him.
Kessel fairly easily.
Put Kessel next to prime Thornton and he's scoring 50 a year and probably wins some Rockets from Ovechkin.
Not to mention he's a playoff warrior who should have a Smythe if not for the media having a Crosby hard on
He still had a 92 point season and with all the other weapons he wasn’t the main shooter. He was an underrated playmakerWasn’t this what people were saying when he got traded to the Pens and he was going to be on a line and on the PP with Crosby/Malkin?

Kessel has Marleau beat in career high points, assists, points finish position. Tied in # of times top 10 in goals, Marleau never top 10 in points, Kessel 4 times. Kessel has lead the league in game winning goals. Kessel has him beat in PPG (0.81 to 0.68) and GPG (0.35 to 0.32).
Kessel with the much much better playoff resume, and 2 cups to 0.
Good answer.Marleau has longevity. Kessel has everything else.
