HF is going to say Marner because they want him payed more than Matthews to screw the leafs cap. Luckily real NHL agents and employees don’t base their numbers off polls.
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.

No they are not. Like Kuch, Stamkos, Point arent either. Marner is The best followed by Tavares and them Matthews. They are all great players but not on The same lvl.All three are equally amazing. They’re a three-headed monster. Can’t go wrong with any of them.
What is funny is you do not know how ironic you are being.Marner AINEC. Anyone not caught up in the hype machine know this.
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.
ThisIf I had a choice to take one today........easy choice. Marner without any hesitation, when factoring performance, skill, age and contract.
Most players are setting new career highs this season. Scoring is up. Tavares had 86 points in 2014-15 and was 1 point away from winning the Art Ross. Right now, he has 88 points and is 16th in scoring. 2014-15 was more impressive.Marner is having an epic season, Tavares is having is best season and mathews is having a rough season.
Voted for my boy marner.
Wow. Who would have thought.When he's on he's the best.To bad he's rarely on compared to Marner.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.
Tavares has 47 goals and 37 of them are at even strength (leads the league). He also drives play better than both Marner and Matthews according to possession stats. He’s getting underrated here in a big way.
If Tavares scores 40 ES goals he’ll be the first player since Stamkos (48 ES goals in 11-12) to do it. Ovechkin also did it once in 07-08 (43 ES goals). Other than Ovechkin and Stamkos each doing it once, it hasn’t happened since the 90s.
