Who will score more points in the next 5 years? Matthews vs Marner vs Eichel vs EP vs Pastrnak

[bobholly39]

For the next 5 seasons combined (including this one) who scores the most points total, in the regular season? Injuries and missed games count, so you can factor that in. Points only, not specific to goals, and don't include playoffs.

So from current 2021 season, all the way t0 2024-2025 season.

All players are pretty close in age, and fairly close in terms of offensive potential/ability, give or take. Team situations vary a bit.

Please also rank them 1 to 5, most points to least points.

Matthews probably, but I voted Eichel because he doesn't play for the Leafs.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Pastrnak or Marner probably.

 

[Emerz]

Pasta or Marner I'd say.

Hmm, Pastrnak just beat every of these players by 15+ points last season. Interesting prediction.

I hear you but I honestly was thinking of Pastrnak as least likely too to have most points. It doesn't necessarily means he'll have the least points, just that he's the least likely to have the most. I think Pastrnak benefits more than anyone in league from linemates with Marchand/Bergeron's combination of offense/defense, but they're older and bound to slow down soon. I think this will affect his production.

All of Toronto, Buffalo and Vancouver's cores are younger.

Pasta is on an older team so I'm not sure he will stay at such a high level. I mean as talents there isn't much separating any of them. I certainly could easily prove wrong.

Bruins aren't really an older team anymore. They are middle of the pack overall.

We're all talking about their 1 C. He's had a top 5 C his whole career, that could change soon. Again, he may prove me wrong, we are guessing the future which is not exactly a perfect science.

 

[Sky04]

Pasta considering he blows everyone away right now.

 

[Dekes For Days]

If we're talking overall points, probably Marner.

 

[Buck Naked]

I voted Marner. If Bergeron and Marchand could remain young the obvious choice would've been Pastrnak. If Buffalo was a better team it would've been Eichel. So Marner feels right here.

 

[Steven Toast]

Pasta for goals and points. In the last 2 years hes 53-49-102 in 73 games.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

If they would have identical supporting casts for the next 5 years, I would take Pastrnak easily. But since Bergeron is getting up there in years, I'll go with Marner.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Pastrnak, in points and goals

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

If this was the next couple of seasons, I'd have voted for Pastrnak. But 5 seasons, I went with Marner because a big part of Pastrnak's production is Marchand and Bergeron, who are 32 and 35, respectively.

 

[Pyrophorus]

The key players, including his linemates are.

 

[danpantz]

The key players, including his linemates are.

Marchand, Bergeron, Krejci and goalies are the only old players.

Marchand is 32 and Bergeron is 35 and both have been old and slowing down for the last 3 seasons according to this board, both continue to put up career numbers in actual real life. The entire D-core is young. All of the other forwards besides Smith are young.

 

[Mulletman]

Over 60 votes and none for Pettersson. Has HF Boards finally come to it's senses when it comes to Pettersson and realized that he's overrated?

So Matthews playing with marner is worse you Pejorative Slur? I think marner is offensively much better than Marchand and Bergeron. Now imagine Pasta with Marner.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Between the players listed only Marner and Pastrnak have recorded at least a 90+ point season.

Marner had 94 points in 82 games during the 2018-19 Season.

Pastrnak had 95 points in 70 games during the 2019-20 Season.

So I think it comes down to either of them and I'm going with Marner because of the age factor for Pastrnak playing on the same line with Bergeron and who knows how much longer he will play.

no, Pettersson is great, its just he is being compared to better players. its pretty simple.

HF in a nutshell. Slow start = bad player. There is no way he would win the polls he did a month or two ago today. Because of 10 games.

I mean, yes, knee-jerk reactions are basically all the majority of this site does, but that's the entire reason Pettersson won most of those polls in the first place. People overreacted to his small sample in the playoffs, and ignored all context behind it.
