Sure he's good at scoring however he's not nearly as good at creating goals for others. Not to mention he has a history of shoulder problems which will only get worse. He's not physical either for someone of his size. He's got 65 hits in 3 year career that's not his thing but people mention he's a big scoring centre all the time. Guys a good player but no he's not an elite 1C in league just another very good one. Marner though a winger is more the play maker and only scored 11 less goals while produced 68 assists to Mathews 36. Ya Marner plays with JT I know but JT just had a career year playing with Marner whose only going to get better. Oh and Marner out pointed JT as well this year. Marner may be the winger but he's the Leafs engine. I'd love him on my team so I hope it works out as he's a stud home town kid. Leafs can't lose him. Will they survive sure they will but he's a superstar in making get it done and sign him.
He has played 212 out of a possible 242 regular season games....86% of his possible games. This stupid narrative that he is injury prone is absolutely hilarious and based on absolutely zero facts. Along with "questionable work ethics" which again is totally unsubstantiated and you have zero way of actually proving that in any way.
It's hard to say because both get to play with good linemates and aren't asked to carry a line.
It is absolutely a stupid narrative. Simply getting injuries doesn't make you injury prone, that is ridiculous. But why bother with facts when we can just "huur durz he is brokenz"
