Marner vs Andrei Svechnikov

[Koivu11]

Another pathetic HF poll. Is the 90+ point player better than the 70 point? No.

You realize OP asked for age and contract to be taken into consideration right?

Sure. Elite players get paid more, even old man Marner. The OP asks who do you take. Most take the star because there are no implied cap concerns. Who builds around an inferior player on a team of 1?

I wager Seattle would take Marner if they got to choose.

Imo Svetchnikov will be the best winger in the league soon enough. Marner is elite/near elite sure depending on your definition of elite but I wouldn't take any winger over Svetchnikov

Not saying he doesnt have the potential but i doubt it. Guys like Kucherov/Panarin arent going anywhere and Pastrnak/Marner/Rantanen/Connor etc are still young and improving. even a guy like Huberdeau is a top tier winger and only 27.

it would take a lot for that to happen. probably a 45-50 goal 95-100+ point season to even be in consideration given how good these guys are.

yeah this is a case of "he gets paid alot because he is really good". not like its a bad contract. premier money for a premier player.

and people are arguing age when Marner isnt even 3 years older. this is a 20 year old vs a 23 year old, neither has reached their peak.

So Drai>Matthews, right?

 

[The S5]

Poor Leafs fans. Not everyone agrees that your players are the best.

 

[Brucelenok]

Leafs fan here. And I choose Svechnikov long term no question. Right now it is more or less equal. I think by the season 22-23, Svech will be Top 3 forwards in the league.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Because Svech is a better player?

Marner is a better player

 

[Atomos2]

*looks at the standings*

Leafs currently 1st place in the league and Marner is top 3 in NHL scoring.

I think we'll manage

 

[Buck Naked]

Marner is a better player

Nah. I put all my trust in this poll.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Contracts included this is clearly Svechnikov.

Without including contracts, I think its very close. I'd slightly prefer Svechnikov because I think he brings more variety to his game. I know Marner is pretty good defensively, but he's too perimeter-oriented and doesn't score as many goals as Svechnikov. I prefer the way Svechnikov goes about his offense.

Yeah, that's nice, but can Marner do this?

 

[Incubajerks]

Svechnikov will never be on Marner's level.

Pretty sure i read on this forum that even Aho will never be on Marner's level.

 

[CTZ181]

It's close but Marner's unreal defensive ability and effort gives him my vote.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Yeah, that's nice, but can Marner do this?

I’ll take Marner here. He catches flak on this site for being so highly paid even from leaf fans who believe Nylander is better (somehow?).

His talent is undeniable, and having a playmaker like Marner on Matthews wing is what is allowing Matthews to lead the league in goals

There is a small number of Leafs fans on here who want to think there is some debate about Nylander being better, even though the majority of us see the positives both of them bring to the team.

Well obviously they are both good players but I think people who are arguing Nylander over Marner are just trying too hard to be different

 

[Byron Bitz]

Yes, Drai is better than Matthews and Marner is better than Svech.

 

[CatchyTune]

Yes, Drai is better than Matthews and Marner is better than Svech.

yuck. i expect more from you

 

[Byron Bitz]

yuck. i expect more from you

Have you seen Drai these last few years? He’s developed into one of the top 3 players in the game. Matthews isn’t far behind him though.

yeah... gonna have to double disagree with this post but not gonna carry on and derail this thread.

This is a fun bump. Fast forward 2 years and Svech is on his new contract but hasn't progressed as much as many thought he would. How do people feel about this comparison now?
