[Marshy]

Gardiner contract year. Marleau regresses just a little.

Gards in a photo finish.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Going with Gardiner here.

 

[LeafGrief]

Gardiner is going to put up monster points this year. Marleau is still a great player, but I don't think he cracks 50.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Went Patty again, Matthews and JT will be banking shots off Marleua's butt and in so he should put up enough points.

Gardiner is close though but I think he will play PP2 times again so wont have a huge bump in points.

 

[moon111]

I wouldn't be disappointed if Gardiner actually focused completely on his defensive game/strategy in the off-season and comes back and scores less.

 

[Buds17]

Not too surprised this requires a tiebreaker. Voted Gardiner then, but they were separated by five points last season and it might very well be closer than that this season.

 

[Advanced stats]

Marleau is playing for a cup


Gardiner is playing for a 50 million dollar contract and a cup

This is gards if both play 82 games.

 

[Lauro]

Gardiner.

Marleau and Kadri won't score that much without Marner.

 

[Morgs]

I wouldn't be disappointed if Gardiner actually focused completely on his defensive game/strategy in the off-season and comes back and scores less.

Gardiners good defensively though.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Marleau playing with Matthews and Nylander pushes him ahead of Gardiner, IMO.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Gardiners good defensively though.

there is a difference between actually being good in his own end and having good metrics due to his elite transition and offensive game. Fortunately, Gardiner has both. I'd also pick him here

 

[Liminality]

We're going to need a tiebreaker for this tiebreaker. Both are decent choices.
