Brady Tkachuk vs Mitch Marner

[Bileur]

I'm not actually comparing them as players, but wouldn't you say that Michael Bunting plays the role Tkachuk does for defending his teammates?

Sorry did you just use a video (second one) of Bunting mixing it up, getting punched in the face, skating away from a scrum and then tossed off the ice by a linesman like Jazzy Jeff when Uncle Phil comes home to show he’s similar to Brady Tkachuk?

NyQuil is being diplomatic, but no, Bunting does not defend teammates anything like Brady Tkachuk does. His approach is more similar to Giroux maybe in that he steps in, yaps, maybe throws in a little stick work or gloved punches.

Nothing like Brady.

Ah, I see.
I was referring more to the fact that it's a different game state.

But it's not an additional game state that only one is playing. What the PP is compared under doesn't really change anything anyway.

Leafs fan voting Marner but it's a tough choice. Brady is one of my favorite non Leafs in the league, really like his game.

Put Brady and Mathew’s together let’s see what happens. We’d see exactly how far apart he is from Marner production wise

It would be much closer than Leaf fans want to admit

In the 2017-18 season from the month of December when Marner was put on a 5v5 line with Nazem Kadri, he averaged 1.13 points per game, which is a 93 point annualized season.

In the 2018-19 season when Marner was on a 5v5 line the whole season with Tavares, he had 94 points in 82 games, with a 1.15 points per game.

So, he's proven that he can score points without Matthews.

Brady does something: Sens fans run in here to dunk on the Leafs.

Marner does something: Leafs fans run in here to dunk on the Sens.

Truly a thread made to last the test of time.

I didn’t say anything regarding Marners ability to score without Matthews. This was a Brady message

Marner is a much better play maker than Brady ever will be. Do you honestly think Matthews gets 60 goals and 106 points with him on his line instead of Marner?

Ever since Marner's rookie season he's lead the Leafs in assists and is on his way to doing that again this season.

 

[topshelf15]

Need both types of players to win ,but both are so vastly different players its really a strange poll

 

[Mrb1p]

This is ridiculous. Marner is miles ahead offensively and defensively. The only reason you would even think about picking Brady is because he's big, but that would be a terrible roster move. Pick the better player.

 

[Rals]

Stutzle > Marner

 

[NyQuil]

Stutzle > Marner

Not yet.

They make for an easier comparison because they play a more similar style of play.

The better skilled player,I dont think anyone will argue this...And this was not a realistic poll,better comparable would be skill vrs skill

Marner has dominated just as much playing with Tavares

why are the sens so terrible with so many superstar studs on their roster?

Just two fanbases throwing rocks at eachothers glass houses for 25 pages. Ill see myself out tho because mine is made out of glass aswell

It’s nice to see Bunting standing up for his teammates.

It’s a bit of a different situation where he doesn’t have a fight at the NHL level and hasn’t actually dropped them since 2019-2020, while Tkachuk has 23 fights at the NHL level.

Depending on whether you think fighting is of any value in this area, Tkachuk has a bit of a leg up in that area.

You don’t necessarily want Tkachuk sitting for 5 minutes, but he has engaged players who have taken liberties in the past and it’s nice to have a bit of a deterrent in the top six.

Some people think that fighting is pointless at this stage, and I’m not a fan of the staged heavyweight fights, but having a guy that can go toe to toe can be a nice insurance policy if things go south.

I think fighting has value but Tkachuk is not a deterrent... he isn't going to stop any true heavyweight like Wilson, Reaves, or Deslauriers from taking runs. He does well in fights, but rarely fights anyone who you'd need to deter.

I like the player, but look at his dance card, it is 23 fights and maybe 5 of the guys are good fighters, not really any heavyweights.

I keep getting told how good Tkachuk's linemates are... Sens fans need to decide which it is.

All are young. Need to have more experience.

Yeah probably not a great thread for a fan whose team doesn’t have anyone as good as Tkachuk or Marner.

 

[tiger_80]

Fatchuks are a brand.

 

[dirtydanglez]

marner is more skilled but he's also a coward.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Yeah, Marner is such a coward when he blocks shots like this to win a game in the playoffs.
