Brady Tkachuk vs Mitch Marner

[Crow]

The question being asked isn’t whether Marner or Tkachuk is better, but rather who you would rather have on your team, which takes into account salary and your team’s existing roster and skill sets.

I don’t see any mention of contracts in this hypothetical situation. Doesn’t change my answer.

Good for you.

It’s pretty ambiguous as to whether you can accommodate Marner’s contract or Tkachuk’s and how you want to allocate those dollars. "Who would you take on your team?"

Other Marner vs. Tkachuk polls have been worded differently. This one doesn’t ask who the better player is.

Some people actually read the poll question while others don’t.

Marner is essentially redundant on Ottawa with Stutzle here and Tkachuk is also the Captain of the team and brings a skillset that no one else on the team has, which is why I voted Tkachuk.

I don't really love Brady Tkachuk as a player or leader or any of that, but i think i'd still take him over Marner, who has to be one of the biggest "empty calorie" superstars of the current generation.

Really surprised at results. Mitch really is constantly underrated. Hes the fall guy for the entire leafs roster, yet is the most consistent. This poll should really be lopsided the other way.

This is very true. Both he and Matthews have an equally long track record of having difficulty playing and producing close to their level in the post season, but half 90% of the fans are way more forgiving of Matthews for it.

I hope he stays with the leafs and gets overpaid again.

I voted Marner in this thread because it doesn' take contracts in consideration, voted Tkachuk in the one poll that did.

That said, considering how Marner has played all season and Tkachuk almost all season, I am not even sure anymore.

Marner AINEC

Do you have any stats that back up that assertion or is it merely based on a gut feeling?

I'm stunned at the results of that poll. Brady is no slouch but Marner is just a far more advanced player. Assuming Brady costs within a few million of Marner at the time of their next deals, it's Marner by a lot. If Brady is making sub $10 million AAV, then it's a conversation.

Still a ways to go.

Brady's current $8.2M contract lasts until 2028.

My team has an equipment guy who is scared of the letter K. Was beat up by a kangaroo and a koala as a kid. If they sign a player with a K in their name they will have another panic attack and their wife will leave them. They love the letter M though, they shared a very tender moment with a moose back in college.

So for my team it has to be Mitch Marner over Brady Tachu.

(pretty sure we are meant to compare the players here. Marner is strictly better)

That's a lot of loyalty to your equipment guy, I salute you.

Not such great news for Jake DeBrusk, Kiefer Sherwood, Filip Hronek and Thatcher Demko.

Hope you let those guys down easy.

(that's not what the question is asking)

people putting down Marner because he isn't a big game player as the reason to take Brady over him is a lil funny.

like use any reason but that lol.
