Marner or Rantanen for your team?

[banks]

Rantanen has more of a physical presence, and has been a better playoff performer so-far.

Where as Marner creates his own offense better, and is a better defensive player with PK ability.

I like both. But I'd pick Marner between the two.

The poster above me who said it basically depends on whether the team is pushing for the playoffs at all or is already going to cruise to the playoffs and is looking for someone to help them push deep into the playoffs is pretty much where I am between the two players. Utah falls into the former category, so I'd take Marner.

...Habs are in the same boat, so I begrudgingly take Marner...a Caufield - Suzuki - Marner line would be sick to watch...

Unpopular opinion: neither

Massive question marks around Marner’s ability to perform during the most important part of the season and in Rantanen’s ability to produce when he’s not joined at the hip to MacKinnon.

If I’m a GM I’m not paying $100M and crossing my fingers that one of these guys will figure it out and prove the critics wrong. Can see how it would be worth it if you’re a fan of a team like Utah though.

Damn Rantanen must have really fallen for people on this site to take a leaf over him.
