Who is the better player between Marner Matthews tavares

[alg363636]

As a Bruins fan Marner is by far the player that scares me the most of the three.

He was the only Leafs player in the playoffs last year that really stuck out. Dangerous all over the ice.

Marner
Matthews
Tavares

Marner is the easy decision. After him Tavares and then Matthews.

 

[X66]

Matthews is the no brainer here.

So happy we have them all.

Matthews has that Crosby thing where you can put him with anyone and he’ll dominate and put up elite numbers.

That’s too hard to pass up.

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.

Marner kills penalties that’s why there’s a discrepancy.

It's true that is a factor but it doesn't really change anything. I think Marner's contribution is more flashy but as recently as yesterday Boston's coach said what every other non HF NHL expert says. Matthews is the man. Marner will say the same.

It's only a thing on HF and that says everything.

This Marner. It’s been Marner for the better part of a year and half now. It’s getting to the point where it’s not even remotely close. It’s too bad that for some of his own fanbase he has to do 10x as much for 10x as long to get a fraction of the kudos so easily given to Matthews.

Here's the thing with Mitch; in every league he's played when the game gets bigger he plays better. The guy won every eligible hardware in junior. But I will say this, when Matthews is on his game he absolutely dominates. I'm just glad the leafs have all 3.

Interesting comment from Bruce Cassidy; he says Marner is the leafs' best player, in his opinion.

What was his exact quote? I don't see anything about him saying that.

I think Matthews was better than Marner his first two years but Marner took a bigger leap this year (injuries played a role but it is what it is). It could easily go back and forth every season.
Obviously Tavares is right there in the race with them right now but for how long?
I take Marner this year, but a 100% healthy Matthews going forward.

@7:46 ... he says "their best player, in my estimation, scores a goal (talking about the penalty shot goal)"


He also talks more about Mitch at 1:18

As a fan of a team who only plays Toronto twice/year (STL), Marner is scarier to play against than Matthews or Tavares.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Speaking as a Leafs fan I don't think there is a wrong choice no matter who you think is the best player among them and I wish there was an option for Leafs fans to select all three of them together.

If I had to pick someone just for the sake of it I would choose Marner because he's just amazing to watch and I think he will become the second best plater after Connor McDavid among the players drafted in 2015.

@Kamiccolo

Still going to cry about a lack of respect for Marner? This poll isn't a result of Game 1, he's perceived as a top player by non-leaf fans.

It would be nice if Matthews could prove this to be correct this series, and I mean that sincerely.

ahhhh yes, that Crosby like 68 point avg a year domination

 

[bigbabybuda]

I was wrong! Marner is the best player on this team as of today. I'm stubborn as hell and hate admitting it but it's true.

Matthews > Marner > Tavares
