Oates or Neely ? Marner is Oates and Matthews is Neely. If Matthews keeps missing 20 games per season he will be washed up or retired before turning 35 (like Neely, Clark, Vaive and Bossy), Meanwhile Marner will be a point per game player passing the 1000 point mark before he hits 35. Also if Matthews played with better wingers he'd score less not more. Goal sucks do not improve the players around them, playmakers will. Hence Marner could be said is the better player.
