Marner can lay an egg this playoff and they are still re-signing him to $12.5 mil plus
Neither are overly physical but Sundin used his size much more to his advantage than Matthews. Way better offensively? No. Better? Perhaps. But Sundin in this era would put up huge numbers as well
Value wise it's close. Today I take Nylander, but only because he doesn't disappear after 86 games and I place a high premium on playoff performance. If Marner gets over that hump this spring, then I take him. I love Marner for 86 games, not sure what happens to him after that.
Yes, I predict Marner gets resigned for 12.5-12.9 no matter what he does from here on on. Unless he totally kills it in the playoffs, then maybe he demands more.
I think that you are insane. You may have the last word but I probably won't read it.
No offence man but don't think you've watched Sundin enough. Matthews would not have done done what Sundin did with the linemates he had and the era in which he played in. Matthews would have turtled, he turtkes now in tough games in Mats day those games were played like that almost every game.
Matthews is the superior player in every sense. I love Sundin as much as anyone, but do you remember what Bobby Holik did to him in the playoffs? That must be because Mats was a heartless, terrible leader (sarcasm)
Seems a bit melodramatic, but OK. Marner falls off a cliff after 86 games, this has been going on for years and that's a pretty big issue for me. You don't seem to care which is pretty strange to me, I'll stop short of calling you insane though. Maybe you don't care about the playoffs as much as I co and that's fine, to each their own.
You obviously are very young.
Or what Danault did to Matthews and Danault is half the player Holik is, you are aware that Sundins playoffs stats with far less quality teammates are better then Matthew's, Matthew's would not be able to do what Sundin did in that era. Sundin would feast in this era
That seems to be a common opinion, but I think they’ll make a move if he has another stinker and they lose to Boston. If they play Florida, all that’s expected is to show up and give an effort.
Elias Pettersson played with Kuzmenko and Mikheyev. Kaprizov plays mostly with Zuccarello and Rossi. Pasta's center is 40pt Zacha. If you are a game breaking forward you don't need other game breaking forwards to succeed and none of these other guys get Matthews with them on the pp. Willie really isn't that hard done by. Bert and JT work well with him, at least based on shots and he is the guy on the line that gets fed. Tavares is down maybe 6 or 8 goals from his typical pace so he is having a poor year but he isn't David Kampf
Facts Marner produces more in the playoffs then Nylander.
If you're going to keep ignoring what I said, why bother responding?
You guys really need to stop with this "hater" nonsense. I'm pretty sure nobody hates any of our players and using idiotic polarizing terms such as "hater" makes it difficult to have an intelligent conversation.
Speaking of paying attention, maybe you should take a look at the thread title. Why must you turn every Marner thread into grade 3 schoolyard nonsense?
