Good way to make a little extra cash.

Could use a Dennys.

Marner appears to be a P. Kane/Datsyuk hybrid and a local boy who is living his childhood dream and loving playing for this team... And he's handling the spotlight VERY WELL. He's also defensively responsible, something that Babs preaches.

Whereas Laine who is uber talented looks like somewhat of a one-dimensional player. What else is Laine contributing when he's slumping or shadowed and not scoring goals? Furthermore, the kid is a bit of a cocky load mouth whom Babs and Lou don't want and would get ROASTED by the Toronto media. Lastly, given the recent history between Matthews and Laine, is uniting them the best idea?

Thing is, this has yet to happen.....

And ffs, that's like saying "Ovechkin ain't that great because he's too one dimensional".

Well. Ovechkin scores lots of goals AND murders people with hits. So at least two dimensions.

It's a stupid hypothetical, which I won't acknowledge.

I love Marner. I've already been trained to hate Laine!

Your opinion is for the most part of very little value, except to yourself.

Scabeh, get with the times of the new NHL.

Each fan is only allowed to like one player. That's it.

With Trump in power, white middle aged man street cred might be the most valuable kind.

Both very good players, I will take the center-man.

Liane is good however.

I've always said I believe Matthews to be the more "complete" players, therefore I'd take him before too.

But Laine is better at scoring goals... he does it in so many ways... it's crazy.

Hold on, if Matthews and Laine are different types of players, how can they both be good?
