Tkachuk or Marner

[Rals]

Brady Tkachuk or Mitch Marner.


I'm arguing with a friend over who would make the leafs better right now.

I say Brady.

Is this a joke...?

 

[JoVel]

Your friend is right.

 

[Rals]

Your friend is right.

What margin of points does marner need for you to be confident he bring more to the table then Brady.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Sens fan, you obviously go Marner. 94 points in his third season...I can’t see Brady ever getting close to that.

 

[JoVel]

What margin of points does marner need for you to be confident he bring more to the table then Brady.

The margin was 49 points last season and I think that's large enough. This season Marner is pacing for 30 points more than Tkachuk. And you specified that we're talking about who'd make the Leafs better right now so I don't think there's much of a debate here.

Yikes, I'm defending the Leafs. I'll head out.

Brady probably get a bump in points going to the leafs. 60pt player vs 80 point player. Brady has more goals and fills Toronto's need for grit.

Brady isnt close to marner atm. Yes he is better no doubt. BUT they are really completely different players, I think Brady will have the better career and is exacly the type of player every team needs in the playoffs. Cant say that about Marner.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Probably Brady over Marner on one ankle. Otherwise, Marner

Just like the other Tkachuk and how ineffective he is in the playoffs?

What does this have to do with his brother?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

....what?

I like having Brady on the Sens, but no one is going to pick him over Marner.

 

[Frosty415]

Marner easily

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

I would like to interject here and say that the leephs did an aight job today.

I would take M. Tkachook >> Marner but for sure Marner > B. Tkachook.

It is okay to dislike the leefs but let’s be semi rational here mate.

In terms of who gets your team +/- wins I just think this is way closer race. It is rational

I mean like sure, mate.

If this helps you cope with the fact that you’re wrong then you can have this w.

You don't exchange a guy like Marner for grit. You don't exchange Marner for Tkachuk, period. The Leafs have plenty of other roster spaces to bring in grit - Marner's spot is not one of them.

He isn't just grit. He's grit + skill. A rare thing.

 

[King Mapes]

I even see some of the biggest Leaf haters picking Marner. Tells you one thing. I only entered because I thought it was his brother so that could be a debate. Brady? Not even close.

 

[Rals]

If it's his brother there's no debate.


Again, we know marner is more proven, but he's giving you a surplus of what the leafs already have Playmaking.

Brady, less points. More tools.

 

[Wayward Son]

Mitch Marner can't even play hockey right now. So Brady Tkachuk. Duh.

 

[Hole in the Condon]

This isn't really much of a debate. The margin in point output between the two is discernible enough that it would be foolish to pick Tkachuk.

 

[El Travo]

He isn't just grit. He's grit + skill. A rare thing.

He doesn't have enough skill to replace Marner's, so what you're left with that Marner doesn't have is grit. Besides, there's lots of players who are skilled and have grit.

But if you're a a team with a surplus of skill and a deficit of grit, what is going to give you greater returns (wins).

And skill + grit, size. Not a whole lot of players in that category.

Off the top of my head, 28/31 teams pick Marner (without considering contracts)
Calgary, Tampa, and Toronto being the 3/31
