Sam Bennett VS Mitch Marner Head To Head Stats In Playoffs

frontsfan67 said:
Playoff stats head to head:

Bennett 34G, 70 pts in 99 playoff games
Avg 16:54/Game
1,637.46 mins total
Equal to playing 27.29 full hockey games

Marner 13G, 63pts in 70 playoff games
Avg 21:51/Game
1505.7 mins total
Equal to playing 25.95 full hockey games

Bennett has essentially played 6 more games equal to marners almost 22 mins per game in playoffs rather than “29”

Essentially Bennett has a 0.92ppg in playoffs (70 pts in 76 games) and Marner a 0.90ppg (63pts in 70 games)

1 is gonna get 14/15mil, and 1 people laugh about potentially getting 8/9/10mil 🤨

You can make some silly contract comparisons using playoff only stats, Marner is 8th in points in the last 3 seasons, scoring almost as many as bennett has in his career.

Marner is the 2nd or 3rd most important player to the leafs whereas Bennett is behind Barkov, Tkachuk, Forsling, Reinhart, Bob and maybe Seth Jones and Verhaeghe (sp). Not a guy I’d bet on in his 30s

I wouldn't go betting on Bennett necessarily with big cap dollars, but he could be one of those Dead Puck Era playoff warriors like Jamie Langenbrunner who just go deep in the playoffs all the time playing their unremarkable regular seasons.

If it’s just the playoffs then of course Bennett is the choice. Got to make the playoffs though. If a club overpays for a guy like Bennett they better have a lot of other good players because he’s not helping them get to the playoffs. Marner, of course, will. He’s a great player.

If both players get what they are rumored to be getting, both deals will be overpayments. GMs know that, question is, can you stomach it if it means a Cup?

If the guy helps win a cup or two imo you forget the bad contract. A guy can put up 200pts in the regular season, if he can’t put up decent numbers in the playoffs it all means nothing unless the players own selfish goals are to win scoring titles and not cups.

And if they do that- that is not a guy you spend 14 million on when that contract inevitably shits the bed and 0 cups to show for it.

A guy like Nikolaj Ehlers has even worse stats but his regular season isn’t as great as Marner.

IMO Marner has a couple things going against him in that situation, under a microscope and a pass first guy. any move he makes gets pointed out by “leafs nation” and Marner is a pass first player. Not a guy you tend to build around unless they can do both (Gretzky, McDavid for example)

Marner can forget to turn his signal on to turn right at a red light and leafs fans will document it. Very much under a microscope in Toronto and that is part of the reason (along with taxes) why many don’t want to come

However Marner needs to find a way to tune out the noise because he should be focused on hockey and not the fans.
 
The question that needs to be answered isn't "Who is better Marner or Bennett?"

Its "What mix of players, coach will get the most out of Mitch Marner?"

Sam Bennett wasn't Sam Bennett till he got to Florida, was surrounded with the right players, placed in the right system and coached by the right coach.

I see your point but the leafs desperately need what he brings and he coincidentally is the 2C they lack. He fills a major role and when he’s washed, the team’s window is likely closed anyways.

One is an 50 point scrub who was on bust watch with Jake Virtanen early in his career.

And the other is an over PPG 100 point player who never missed the playoffs in 9 years.

Bennett isn't worth a dime more than 6.5 million. But he will get 9 or 10 and he will be this generations Scott Gomez.

The whole point is who would you rather have for the playoffs. 1 helps the team win and the other isn’t doing his scoring job well.

Then another point that keep in mind Bennett will outperform while making 6M less that whatever team could use to lure another free agent

Just think it’s pretty comical how floridas 5th best forward plays better than the top producing leaf forward (from regular season) in the playoffs and really puts into perspective how bad Marner is in the playoffs.

If you build a team just for the playoffs, (by paying guys like Sam Bennett 8-10 million) you won't make the playoffs

When he got no playing time you’re right. What does early in career have to do with anything?

Also that 100pt player shits the bed in the playoffs hence why the leafs haven’t made the third round even once

2 time Stanley cup winner. Will be 2 more than Marner or the leafs.
 
Whoever signs Bennett is doing so for the playoffs. He brings that dirty rough play that teams love to have for a playoff run.

Whoever signs Marner is doing so because it makes that team significantly better in the regular season. And he’s also not far from a ppg in the playoffs.

If these are head-to-head, how has Bennett played 29 games more? Is Marner a headless horseman?

I personally don't think it's a great idea to make either of these guys the highest paid player on your team.

That being said, I don't see a reason for Bennett to leave Florida or for Florida to move on from Bennett, so I doubt he is coming to save the Leafs.

Bennett wouldn’t be the highest paid player on his team.
 
Bennett would never get away with those d-bag plays that give him space if he played for the Leafs. A Leaf would have gotten multiple games for any one of those elbows to the head. He wouldn't be as effective as a Leaf.

All I know is I want nothing to do with Marner and his perimeter oriented junior leagues style of game. Some other team can have him for 13-14 million dollars. Enjoy. He will not lead you anywhere in the playoffs but boy, is he gonna put up flashy numbers in meaningless regular season games.
