Brady Tkachuk vs Mitch Marner

[LeafsNation75]

That said , was it a dumb take from fans who were saying that? Probably yeah, he's a great player but to act like it never happened and the pitchforks weren't out is disingenuous

I never denied that there was Leafs fans who wanted Marner traded, especially after the series loss against Montreal, which I said was one of his worst playoff series he's had in Toronto.

yep and last year as well, well most years.
Hers one of the ones from last year

My argument for trading Marner

I'd like to start by saying Marner had an AMAZING regular season and he was a lot of fun to watch. I also think this was the first year where Marner played up to his contract. With that said starting at gm4-7 Marner got a whopping 2pts and was a -3 and has never been a standout in any playoff...

Even when a Leafs player is playing tremendously there will be some donkeys saying the club should trade the player while their value is high or some other nonsense.

That kind of nonsense is the price one pays being a Leafs fan. A fanbase that large also has a large number of people who.. aren't bright.

It is a statistical argument, actually.

I guess you didn't see where most of the replies were against trading him after last years playoffs.

So, in that example was one Leafs fans opinion.

They havent been as good at the same age is what I am saying. He is a bit of a Hossa/Havlat hybrid that plays center. Will he be that good? It remains to be seen but thus far into all their respective careers he has exceeded them.

Brady had a xg% of 26.68% tonight. Marner couldn't be that bad if he was drunk and stoned at the same time. Honestly...this thread is a joke.

And Brady would never no show for his teammates as much as marner has when it counts most. So here we are. 1967 when there was 6 teams in the league. Never win 3 consecutive playoff series in franchise history. Etc etc etc.

I seem to recall Brady holding out of training camp when he didn't have a contract. Seems to me that was him being a no show for his teammates.

Brady Tkachuk's absence felt as Senators open camp with physicals, tests

As the Ottawa Senators began camp Wednesday with medicals and physical testing, Brady Tkachuk was not available, but he was top of mind and will be until the 22-year-old franchise winger signs a new contract and reports.

Disrespectful to Marner for this to even be a poll that's relatively close, but at the same times not surprised that Brady especially endears to the meat and potatoes crowd. Not to say Brady is a bad player because he's a very good top line winger, but man if it weren't for McDavid's insane season, Marner would be a serious contender for the Hart and I think he should be in the Selke conversation.

Wtf does 1967 have to do with Marner? These arguments are a shitshow

 

[dirtydanglez]

marner is an allstar at everything except for his play along the boards. i went with thachuk because i think he's better suited for a playoff run. good poll

 

[Dekes For Days]

Other than Brady brings much more to the table than 94 points.

Tkachuk can't even pace for the 94 points that Marner has surpassed, and Marner brings WAY more than Tkachuk outside of production.

Marner signed on day 1 of camp and Nylander signed after missing 2 months of the season, .

Not the zinger you thought it was.

That’s the funniest post in this thread.

 

[Dekes For Days]

That’s the funniest post in this thread.

No, the funniest post in the thread is obviously the OP that tried and failed to compare Tkachuk to a far superior player.
My post was just facts, and you know it's true, which is why you have no actual response.

lol

 

[hamzarocks]

Tkachuk isn't as good as his older brother and he's worse than marner as well



Marner is a top 5 winger closer to top 3.



His playoffs starting to turn around. Just needs to help the leafs go deep this year and then no major criticism will be left



Still he's further ahead then B Tkachuk whose trying to figure out how to get his team out of the basement at the moment

Geez, that's dumb. Congrats I guess, you've reset the bar.

 

[MCR74]

Are we still arguing about this?

 

[MCR74]

Like what? He certainly doesn't bring the playoffs to the table.

Guessing it's those mysterious 'intangibles' like face washes and chewing a mouth guard.

That'll come handy during the post-season I'm sure.

 

[Xspyrit]

There's always next year.

Not really something a Leafs fan should write...

 

[NyQuil]

Again, the belittling of a physical player who is over a point a game boggles the mind.

There’s nothing mysterious or intangible about elements of his play that Marner is incapable of duplicating.

Instead of simply admitting it, you have the same Leaf fans who idolized Wendel Clark and questioned the physicality of their own team after six straight playoff first round exits pretending that Tkachuk has nothing to offer outside of the scoresheet where he admittedly does not have Marner’s resume to date.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Well you guys should know that, if anyone lol.
