no he shouldn't. delusion at its finest right here.He should be higher then Barzal.

I realize Barzal had more points last season than Marner and also won the Calder Trophy. However if you only take his total points into account using that logic he should also be ranked ahead of Tavares since he had 1 more total point than him last season.no he shouldn't. delusion at its finest right here.
tavares was the guy taking the tough matchups and producing points, while barzal took the weaker matchups and produced. tavares also has the reputation of being amazing for a while while barzal has just 1 season in the nhl.I realize Barzal had more points last season than Marner and also won the Calder Trophy.

The fact that Barzal had 1 season doesn't mean he should be ranked higher than Marner who's had 2 NHL seasons and he improved on his stats as a rookie.tavares was the guy taking the tough matchups and producing points, while barzal took the weaker matchups and produced. tavares also has the reputation of being amazing for a while while barzal has just 1 season in the nhl.
if it's a better season, then yes.The fact that Barzal had 1 season doesn't mean he should be ranked higher than Marner who's had 2 NHL seasons and he improved on his stats as a rookie.

barzal had 63 assists (85 points) whereas marner only had 69 points.
he was consistent all season while marner wasn't.
the whole body of the regular season in the nhl is the only thing that should count. not the playoffs or extra tournament stuff.Marner had 9 PO points. Barzal none. Barzal crapped the bed at the worlds. 7 pts no goals. 3 pts vs Korea. Should not the whole body of work count.
You can also say his 85 points might have been just a one time thing. So I think that's what got him ranked higher than Marner more than winning the Calder.if it's a better season, then yes.

85 points trumps 69 points man. it just that simple.You can also say his 85 points might have been just a one time thing. So I think that's what got him ranked higher than Marner more than winning the Calder.
I realize that but I think his 85 points could also be a fluke and he never gets close to that number again, where as last season we saw Marner improve on his rookie numbers and lead the Leafs in scoring.85 points trumps 69 points man. it just that simple.
well tsn probably doesn't think it's a fluke and if you actually watched barzal you would know he has legit skills.I realize that but I think his 85 points could also be a fluke and he never gets close to that number again, where as last season we saw Marner improve on his rookie numbers and lead the Leafs in scoring.
If you want to rank Barzal ahead of Marner because he won the Calder Trophy last season I can see that. However I also think they saw his 85 points from last season as the other reason why he's ahead of Marner and I wouldn't have used that as a reason why.well tsn probably doesn't think it's a fluke and if you actually watched barzal you would know he has legit skills.
why wouldn't you have used that as a reason why? oh let me guess. its because you think it was a fluke.If you want to rank Barzal ahead of Marner because he won the Calder Trophy last season I can see that.

That was a reality during McDavid's rookie season.Imagine McDavid and Hall on the same team. Damn, that would have been fun to watch them burn people alive with their speed.
every player in the NHL is one hit away from retirementI love Marner but I would way way rather have Barzal. Much better natural skill set. Marner is one hit away from being retired. I fear a Kaberle end for him at some point. Hope I am wrong.
Matthews should be in the mid to late teens. These guys just mess with everything Toronto so that they can create hits. Matthews is a good player, no doubt but he hasn't proven much if anything in things like POs. He also seems to have some issues with the upper body and it's seemingly persistent. When that happens he plays but his production goes down a lot. If it happens again this year we had better think long and hard about the Matthews strategy.
