Marner vs Nylander, who do you take moving forward?

[Fatass]

The two are equal with the puck but Marner is by far the better player without it. Marner is a Selke kind of guy. Nylander is not even close to that level of defensive player. Keon or the Big M?

 

[Auston Marlander]

Nylander has far better hair, but Marner has a really cute dog.

It's too close for me to call.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Marner is more proven. He's one of the highest point producing wingers since he entered the league. I'd like to see Nylander repeat last season first, I still think he's a 65pt winger. He had a lot of chips fall in the right places for him last year.

 

[Dog]

Willy Nylander and bonus you get his brother as well!

 

[Craig Button]

if you watch hockey it’s an easy choice.

Marner.

Leafs best penalty killer and leafs best 5 on 5 player.

I guess I’ll take marner then.

He hasn't paced for that in like 4 years, he elevated his game big time in the second half of the 2021 season, he's a legit star.

He's putting up more and more points each year, hasn't been under a PPG in years, the league scoring is also raising each year and yet, somehow he is a 65 point winger

HF boards is always good for a laugh.

 

[Roo]

Love both, but would take Marner

 

[CanadienShark]

Nylander. I think he's just the better player and more dangerous in the playoffs.

 

[ole ole]

Well sure if you only focus on offense

If your paying 11 + mil he better be good on offense come playoff.

 

[MoneyManny]

I'll take the guy who told the other to stop crying like a little b in the playoffs.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Need this quantified. Regular season or Playoffs?

Actually produces more than Nylander though, but a lot of that is early on in rounds. Both have to be much better.

Semantics. Willy has nearly twice as many goals in fewer games played.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Semantics. Willy has nearly twice as many goals in fewer games played.

One's a playmaker, the other is a better goal scorer. Kind of unfair to compare the two using a stat that will always favor the goal scorer.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I think that Marner is the better player but I'd take Nylander, so he'd stop murking my Habs

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

We talking regular season or post season?

 

[authentic]

Yeah but he sucks at defense. Both just generally suck in the playoffs.

 

[Knave]

Nylander. Marner gives away the puck so much in the middle of the ice and in the playoffs his backchecking can be really bad at times.

Marner-Matthews is a great pairing though.

You can't have a player for just one or the other so both.

Nylander then

Nylander’s a better back checker than Marner?

 

[kevsh]

Willie is more mature, less distracted by all that goes with being a Leaf and significantly more clutch. On the downside avoids physicality like the plague and doesn't elevate those he plays with, kind of a one-man show.

Marner on the other hand certainly helps his teammates and is a more well-rounded player.

The deciding factor to me then is if you took one off the team, which would hurt the team's chances at winning in the playoffs more (jokes about them never winning with either aside)? I'd say Nylander by a small margin.

Nylander doesn't f***ing cry in the playoffs bro
