I hope so too. Willy is better than any winger JT ever had on the Island and he ran them lines. I watched Tavares closely when he was with the Islanders too because he was always vocal and plotting with his linemates there. He’s a great communicator on the ice from what i have personally observed from him.

Long and short of it is that i think he teaches Willy to be smarter and grow his game more than the quieter and more equal peer of Matthews. I can see Willy looking up to him as a seasoned pro that plans and plots from what he see’s in game time real time scenarios.

thinking it will be great pair

More Marner fun facts!

Since 2007/2008 when these statistics started being tracked, Marner is...

(500+ ES min, 250+ PP min)

8th in even strength points per 60.
8th in even strength primary points per 60.
3rd in powerplay points per 60
6th in powerplay primary points per 60.

Only 3 other players are also top 8 in all four. McDavid, Matthews, and Pastrnak.

Pretty good company.

Time for a Marner fun fact!

At ES, since 2018-2019, when he joined Tavares' line:..

Marner ranks 3rd in the league in points per 60, behind Kucherov and Marchand, both of whom play on a stacked super-line.
Marner ranks 1st in the league in primary points per 60.
Marner ranks 1st in the league in primary and total assists per 60.

Pretty good for some overpaid guy.

Certainly not chopped liver. Just has needed a bit more help than Matthews to get to that top tier production level (though still less than almost all others that reach it do), and hasn't sustained it as long.

They are both incredible players, and we are lucky to have them. If they stick on the same line in a puck possession system through their primes, then we are about to witness something very special. :thumbu:

What all this does show, with other factors as well, his contract is fair relative to Matthews, less AAV, extra UFA year, completely in line with Auston. Not fair league wise, but internally, absolutely.

His contract is fair relative to Matthews, and they are both fair relative to the league. The only "problem" in all of this is people still using raw points to evaluate players and raw dollar amounts to evaluate contracts in 2019 (soon to be 2020). Better, more accurate statistics/methods exist, and they're pretty simple.

He seems to be all aboard the Marner train now at least. In this thread he recently just said Marner is our best player pretty much.

Kudos to him. At least he didn't disappear like minus mitch. Wonder which tag he goes under now.
 
Is Marner a star?

Sure he is. You could even go so far as to call him a superstar. Nobody with any sanity should he questioning Marner's talent as a hockey player.

He's obviously a star player in the NHL.

Too bad he's a loser too. It's entirely possible to be both. Superstar Marner is a superstar loser.

That's because he's a choker.

With a bad attitude to boot. He's also greedy. Oink, oink oink. And let's not forget that he wears a letter but displays serious lack of leadership in his resistance to accept any personal accountability.

I guess when you're a star hockey player you feel like you're entitled to those things.

Regular season star.

His game needs the time and space of the regular season where people aren’t going full on.

He also needs low pressure. He’s not a high pressure performer.

He’s a star.

8.5 AAV star. On a different team.

Tre picked Nylander

Thanks to whoever revived this thread - it reminds me of my mistake in voting 'is'.

BFD - it's not the first time I've been wrong and it probably won't be the last.
