So you're saying that both Mitch Marner (5.11 and 164 lbs) and Francis Perron ( 6.00 and 163 lbs) will never "play a game in the NHL"?





- D0PPELGANGER



so, you're saying that Mitch Marner qualified as an overage player this year?

Yeah Marner is almost one year younger ....... just pointing out that they're almost exactly the same weight and height, at this point and time. If he does not play for the leafs then I guess he's bound to be an overage player then, eh?

More than a year younger, not almost. The list of undersized players that put up large numbers as a 19/20 year old is long. You have to be a top talent to overcome that and make it a non-issue. Marner put up bigger numbers as a 17 year old than Perron put up as a 19/20 year old.

Trying to put them in the same sentence is silly. Perron is nowhere near the prospect Marner is. Marner looks like one of those that has the top talent to overcome size, Perrron, very unlikely.He'll probably never make it past the AHL. he's more likely in the Justin Azevedo category than the Pat Kane one.

Maybe. Probably not. But Kane is a better comparable to Marner than Azevedo. Azevedo is a better comparison for Francis Perron than Kane.

Most players never reach their FULL potential. I'd rather have the player with the potential to be Kane than Justin Azevedo.

Francis Perron was a seventh round pick of the Senators, who just happens to have won the Michel Briere Trophy as QMJHL MVP and the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the post-season MVP, becoming only the eighth player in league history and first since Jonathan Drouin to pick up both major awards in the same season.

Perhaps you think that Justin Azevedo won some similar awards, and thereby your use of him as a comparison?

Yep. In his final season in the OHL, Justin Azevedo, a 6th round pick, the season he turned 20 in (like Perron this year), his only season among the top 20 in OHL/QMJHL scoring (like Perron), Azevedo put up 124 points (more than Perron, in a better league), and won the OHL MVP award (Red Tilson), lthe Ed Chenowyth for Mem Cup top scorer, CHL player of the year, CHL top scorer award.

I guess you might say that Francis Perron is basically Justin Azevedo-lite.

I think anyone with a decent knowledge of the NHL and whats happened in the past several years would make a fairly similar list.

Big Shift in things for the Leafs.. its been common to see them near the Bottom of the standings while also showing up at the bottom of these types of lists. Now they have bottomed out in terms of the standings...but everything else important..which eventually leads to success is falling in place.

just to re-cap the lists

Oh for God's sake, grow up. It is summer and these are loser lists. It is all about scoreboard and last I looked Leafs were a last place team. These are merely distractions to keep readers interested.

Winners and losers are determined by the scoreboard. Leaf summer talk is legendary and entertaining. But, it is just talk. Expectations get raised but everyone knows once the puck drops it is time to talk about what happened on the ice.

So, the first puck has been dropped. Marner is competing but not very well. He has had trouble especially yesterday with the speedy Finns. Most of the Finns are two years younger than Marner. He did not show much on the scoreboard.

Ah yes, 2 years of historic level production outweighed by a single exhibition game I'm certain you didn't watch.



Since, you know...

It's pretty clear you paid close attention to the game against fins yesterday.


Since, you know they didn't play that team yesterday.... And Marner didn't play the game against the fins.
