[Bigmarycombo]

i think Marner because he plays on both sides of the puck and kills penalties.

Marner has been the best of the three this season, IMO. Then Tavares, then Matthews.

Really looking forward to seeing how Dubas handles the RFA negotiations on this one.

 

[AssaultPK]

Marner. He deserves more money the Matthews

 

[TT1]

Marner, he deserves 12M+.

 

[BusQuets]

Marner > Tavares >> Matthews

Really disappointed in Matthews this season.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Marner = Tavares >>>> Matthews

 

[BlueBaron]

lol. It's Matthews and it is obvious to most people. Everyone in the know, coaches, GM's, media all know it's Matthews. HF thinks it's Marner.

Considering the ice time and line mate disparity this is not hard to figure out with production so close.

I like Marner the most personally, but you can't go wrong with either of them. Somebody could certainly make a compelling case for each of the 3

Flip a coin I guess.

 

[Nizdizzle]

I think Matthews could be the best if he had the intensity that Marner had, but he seems really inconsistent to me with effort level. Marner plays hard every game. I voted Marner, but could change in the future.

 

[Neely2005]

Marner. I would love to have him on the Bruins!

 

[FourRings]

I think it's Marner and out of the three (going forward) I'd most like to have Marner.

 

[Emerz]

Marner looks like the best player anytime my team play the leafs.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

Matthews is one of the most dominant force at 5v5 in the league.. Marner is an elite player, but he shouldn't be winning over AM34

Tough call. They are all so good, and will be so good for a long time. It would be like if you added Paul Kariya to the mid-late 1990’s Colorado Avalanche that already had Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg up the middle.

Let's not get carried away here. They're all elite but Sakic and Foppa were better than Tavares and likely better than Matthews ever will be too.

How would you know? Matthews is just getting started, and Tavares is still in his prime and still has time to be a major player for some playoff runs. Matthews and Tavares achieving what Forsberg and Sakic did is the hope, and it is a hope, but they are among the most realistic of all candidates today to do it.

Tavares is already way too behind. He's still elite and great C but he's not going to be top-20 C all-time. Odds are Matthews won't be either but he's still got a chance.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Marner, then Tavares, then a big, big jump way down to Matthews.

Tavares may not ever be top 20 all time, but you’d be surprised what a cup will do for someone of Tavares’ stature and past achievements. He may make it closer than you think.

It’s about as close a comparison as you can get today. Prime Sakic, newcomer Forsberg in the mid-late 90’s. Before they had full careers that you look at in hindsight. Prime Tavares, newcomer Matthews now. Be offended all you want; the parallels are there.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Its Matthews, when he's on he's at a level the other two can't match. Marner and JT are having slightly better seasons glued to each others hips and healthy all season. Since Matthews and Nylander got reunited he's mostly been just as good, he's certainly still the best player on this team going forward.

Edit: sorry, I answered this thread seriously, I can tell by the other responses that was a waste of time. Both guys are ">>>>" than Matthews, yep, I'm sure you guys know the Leafs.

I'm not offended. That's ridiculous.

I can see the comparison. I just don't think it's going to be all that close when things are done.

It’s matthews.

Matthews would probably be the most threatening to other fans. Tavares is 28, whereas the other two are 21. Lots more potential for cumulative damage over many years from Matthews and Marner than Tavares. And a dangerous Matthews that reaches his potential most likely means a cup, given his team support, and that is the ultimate nightmare.

Marner.
When the Oilers were set to pick 3rd in 2015 before the draft lotto got us McJesus (praise the lord) he was the guy I wanted.
