You're right, EP is winning the poll after all. EP's closer to Barzal and Marner is closer to Larkin.

Only thing I can say is Marner is closer to both since he plays on the East coast.
Think about this for a moment, even with how J.T and A.M are killing it right now I still think Marner is our best player so aim lower.

The best thing about Marner is he was always going to have a steep learning curve when coming to the NHL. Most people knew as soon as he started to figure it out he has all the talent in the world to become on of the best players in the league.
As for the poll I went with Marner because is see so much room to grow and from what I have seen over the second half of last year and the start of this year he’s already one of the best in the NHL. Both look to have promising futures could really go either way.

You mean when Marner racked up over 60 points as a rookie on a team that finished dead last the year before. Great hot take after 4 games

Fear is the mind-killer.
I must admit, I was kind of annoyed to see EP winning but he's backed it up with some solid play.
Both are playing over their heads right now, but I still take Marner as I think he is just the better overall player when I look at their skillset and vision. EP could take a developmental leap and pass him, but he would need to be Barzal tier.
Not to mention, Marner has been killing penalties quite well, so that's an aspect few consider. Good poll tho!

Just like those 5 game hot takes the Leaf fans are doing right now?
Petterson is Laine all over again. People see him play 4 good games and declare him better than OV. No sense to be made, but they still do it.
I thought Leafs fans could be bad, give Nucks a little taste of talent and they go thinking a Boeser is a Mackinnon or EP is a Marner. Delusions.

I'm a leaf fan but watching Elias Petterssen is something else. If he puts up 60 + points this rookie season (very likely) as a center; they have a strong case. Some times you can just tell when a player has it or not. There's a difference between fluking several points in your first few games and legitimately being the driving force for your line where you could actually have more points then you do. You can just see he has an unreal creative skill set to his game and a good shot. He projects very well.
The answer for the leafs is Marner but only because we have Tavares, Matthews, Kadri and Marner is such a perfect fit for our goal scoring wingers.
If you don't have a C; I can see why you would take EP

It’s pretty hard to argue against actual numbers. Marner is pretty much as elite a young talent can be at this point, with the exception of the truly incredible prospects like McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, and Matthews and so forth.
Petterson is great too and I imagine his numbers will be amongst the players on that list as well when he reaches the same amount of games played.

EP might not habe marners intensity, but his hockey iq is carrying him so far.
Pettersson is one of the smartest players to ever come from sweden.
Another goal by Pettersson. Would be dissapointed if he doesn't top 61 points this year.

I think you'd be in the vast minority with this line of thinking. Tavares and Matthews are franchise centers, and more proven to boot. Marner is a good support player for them.
