HockeyBuzz Hotstove: Top-5 wingers in the NHL age 22 and under

What's great about this list is we'll have non-Leaf fans scoff at Mitch at #1, meanwhile they will claim he deserves to be the highest paid player in the entire NHL, LOL (Because that's bad for the Leafs and wishful thinking).

What's equally great about this list is Leaf fans that will suggest he's the best young winger in the NHL yet scoff at paying him accordingly.

I have never seen a Leaf fan suggest he should make more than 500K less than Kucherov. LOL

How dare Leafs only pay him 1-2 million more than Point, Aho or Rantenern LOL

Nah, the only scoffing is when people call an extreme over payment getting paid "accordingly".

Connor over Marner... right

Nobody over Marner.

In no order mine are Rantanen Marner Tkachuk Laine Debrincat.

Nylander. statistically speaking

Nobody over Marner.

MAYBE Rantanen, but even then, I think I'd still take Marner.

1. Marner
2. Rantanen
3. Tkachuk
4. Laine
5. Debrinicat

According to some experts, Mitch doesn't make Team Canada's 2021 World Cup Roster.

8 x 8 - and like it.

Tomorrow's blog: Who deserves to be the highest paid player in the league age 22 and under?

Tessier:

1. Mitch Marner

2. Paul Marner's Boy

3. Darren Dregger's cousin

4. The most overrated player in the league

5. Bergy's next big splash

In no order mine are Rantanen Marner Tkachuk Laine Debrincat.

Mine would be the same except I'd replace Laine with Connor.

in the entire league i would not trade marner unless mcdavid and only mcdavid is coming back.

how does the guy who gives 20 answers to every hotstove not include marner? what is this guy a soccer fan

I like Marner a lot but that's a little overboard.

Swap him for Mackinnon.

Mackinnon
Mathews
Tavares

Who needs wingers am i Right

(This would actually improve the cap situation, to hire more help)

I take Tkachuk over Marner all day long. Leafs need that grit and the goals don’t hurt. Not to mention he’ll probably get less than Marner. Toronto media is the teams worst enemy!

I love both players but the tougher players eventually have durability issues. Marner is just an amazing talent, makes everyone around him better.

Nahhh. There are a few players I would trade him straight across for. Marner is not the second best player in the league nor does he project to be. He’s awesome and one of my favourites but there are some really good players out there.

Nylander. statistically speaking

Nylander will DOMINATE this year....he said so...

Not sure why anyone else should expect him to repeat last year

He might. I dunno. I see you keep writing about this. Nylander is better than most are making him out to be. Players show any kind of personality at all and people pick them apart. Then everyone complains that players are boring and machine like. Look forward to next year. Hopefully he does dominate.

Psh Marner, how about that Sam Reinhart, now there’s your top winger.

I was thinking Drouin....but he is 24 now....

History has a tendency to repeat itself. It's not that far fetched. Nylander ain't dat great.

Marner 8x8 and like it? That is downright hilarious. Good work letting nylander bend you over on that contract, bohica, its Marners turn now.

The leaves will have the same personnel, probably less actually, that got them booted in the first round it's just going to cost them another 25 or so Million per year.
That window is slamming shut.
