Our scouting report on Marner who we rank at #4 on the draft board.

Forgot something.

How is a shoot first centreman comparable to one of the best playmaking centres?

Oh, is it because they are both tall?

lolwut? Have you watched him play before? I'm curious how often.

I live in Guelph see Erie every time they visit. Strome will be more of a playmaker than a shooter in the NHL no question.

He uses his body well to protect the puck, he's not physical, he has great vision, a great passer, skating is a weakness, a bit slow, and is also tall.

Sounds a lot like Jumbo Joe.

Mark Hunter.

 

[Bill Waters*]

This kid will look good on Holland's wing!

 

[Tyrolean]

I hope the Oilers pick him or Provorov at 3.

 

[snizzbone*]

? in what way???

If you were asking that as a 'wtf briere sucks though', Briere had 230 points in 221 games with Buffalo.

Yeah, that was a huge compliment. Briere was a beast in Buffalo his appearance made the Sabres relevant and his departure left them back where they were before, terrible.

My thoughts exactly.

If you're going to make satirical comments, you better know what you're talking about.

Marner still playing C?

Not only that...an insane playoff performer.

 

[Fantomas]

If my team were to take Crouse over Marner I would cry.

 

[Curufinwe]

Not only that...an insane playoff performer.

If Leighton hadn't fallen to pieces Briere would have won the Conn Smythe in 2010.

 

[nally]

Nice!

 

[Future]

Hasn't been that good the past couple of games.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Great chance to compare Strome vs Marner.

Thought he was great in both games, just not getting the points.

I like the Briere comparison a lot actually, I got into hockey in 2005, and while I've always been a Leafs fan, I loved that Sabres team With Briere, Drury in their primes, Thomas Vanek when he was young. Ryan Miller entering his prime and Brian Campbell and an overall deep D-Corps. Since the Leafs weren't making the playoffs I was sad that I didn't get to see them win a cup. That 2006-2007 team was unreal. (Remember when Maxim Afineganov was good?)

 

[weems]

Marner is a much better skater than Briere.

 

[Shwaguy*]

Briere was pretty damn fast in his time before injuries took their toll wasn't he?

 

[Sundinisagod]

How about Joe Sakic for a style comparison?

That team had so much speed its like they played in fast forward. Also why the Leafs deserve to win the Mclottery more than Buffalo, at least they had those post lockout teams for a few good/great seasons.

Might very well be.

Strome AND McDavid for the leafs btw.
