Why is this even a question right now...

Pointanen.

Rantanen AINEC, Point is an overrated bum with terrible underlying stats (which prove he is one of the worst players in the league).





Did I cover everything necessary?

I really really like Point, but Rantanen's half zone offensive game is starting to remind me so much of Mario Lemiuex - probably moreso than anyone else. He doesn't have Mario's ability to dangle off the rush, but once he's in the zone with possession he's a monster. Hands, vision, and strong as an oxe.

It's not a coincidence that MacKinnon went from scoring at a ~50-55 point clip to scoring at a 100 point pace. MacKinnon deserves credit, but Rantaned is IMO the difference.

Just to emphasize the difference in MacKinnon's production before Rantanen became a veteran presence on his wing:

3 seasons prior to non-rookie Rantanen: 51g 143p in 218gp (19g 53p pace)

Last 2 seasons with Rantanen:
66g 165p in 121gp (45g 109p pace)

That's 15 more goals, 22 more points in 97 less games!!!

They are a fun pair to watch, they complement each other perfectly.

Picked Rantanen but that's no dig at Point. One if my favorite players

Point. He can play up and down the lineup, centre or wing, and make all the players around him better.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Point not close

 

[Puckstop40]

Rantanen will top off as a 50 point player. He is no where close to Laine and Puljujärvi so why would he be close to Point?

Rantanen ainec

I like both players but this is Rantanen for me.

Maybe Colorado should play Rantanen on 4th line for awhile and it would be closer?
