Quoting: BrandonDubinskyGOAT
You are an idiot, by just saying that Marner is overrated makes me wonder how many brain cells you’ve got. Of course Tavares’ all round game helps Marner drive possession better but to say that he entirely gets carried by Tavares is beyond stupid. It’s like you’re putting Marner in the same category as Sheary and Maroon. Marner is an elite winger in his own right with tremendous amount of individual skill. His skating, agility, speed, stick handling, puck skills, poise, elegance, creativity and vision are world class. He just needs to work on his decision making and hockey sense, but as he matures with experience, it will improve as will his possession numbers. I do think the Leafs would have to add at least a first round pick with Marner in attempts of landing Parayko, but to call him an overrated piece of garbage is just ridiculous, clearly you can’t analyze a player’s skill and abilities. Stats and metrics don’t tell the whole story.
And let's see some advanced stats shall we.
CF% Between Tarasenko our best Winger, and Marner the guy who is in your fan club
CF% for Tarasenko 53.23%
CF% for Marner 52.04%
Relative CF% for Tarasenko 3.09%
Relative CF% for Marner 0.38%
Let's go with Relative Expected Goals For Percentage or xGF%
Rel xGF% for Tarasenko 2.4%
Rel xGF% for Marner 1.63%
Lets look at the Quality of Teammate v Quality of Competition ratio
Tarasenko .77
Marner 1.41
Which means what oh yeah that Marner's teammates are better at carrying....51.59 QoT
Tarasenko 50.93
Individual Expected Goals For Tarasenko 16.4
Marner 12.05
xGF% for Tarasenko 55.14
xGF% for Marner 52.89
So Marner wants 10.5/11M or use Tarasenko at 7.5M who has played better and doesn't need to be carried by a Center like John Tavares.
And you said I was the idiot...
