I’m biased as an Avs fan but I partially counter that by living in leafs land. I’ll take Rantanen.
I’ll take Rantanen. Similar points per game, higher goals per game, lower cap hit.
I mean how can I not be biased as an Avs fan. We won a Cup with Rantanen. Less to do with Marner more to do with Moose performing for us when it matters most
The one with 50 goals and a cup
Regardless, Marner is an incredible player
Both are very good players, but for me, it’s Miko Rantanen. Rantanen in the playoffs performs and shows up in the big moments. Marner has a history of not showing up in the playoffs when needed most.
Mikko 100%. I love Marner but as an Avs fan I wouldn’t trade Mikko for the world
Mikko. His size and goal scoring ability are elite
Really interested comparison. They’re both so damn good with so many similarities. But I’d go with Mikko. Finns=Wins
Rantanen.
Mikko single handedly carried the Avs at points this past season
As a leafs fan, Rantanen all day long.
I’ll definitely take Rantanen over Marner
I’ll take Stanley Cup Champion Mikko Rantanen, please.
Rantanen and its not even close.
He scores more goals
Hes 4 inches taller and has bigger body/frame that he loves to use
He performs better in the playoffs (rantanen has over a point a game in playoffs 1.25 vs marner being just under 0.94)
Even if rantanen was on an identical contract, its a no brainer to take him and thats nothing against marner.
Rantanen is like the forgotten man. Way better than he seems to get credit for, or so it seems maybe I’m in the wrong subreddits
Someone needs to pull Marner aside and ask him with all honesty… « Dude, you block 9 million shots a season which is way more dangerous and hurts more than physical contact. Why are you afraid of physicality come playoff time?! »
No, seriously… Stepping in front of 90mph slapshots fearlessly as a clear part of your skillset, then crapping your pants when skating out of the zone seeing an opponent skate at you and deciding to bake apple turnovers boggles my mind.
McDavid and Pasta are the only 2 players to have more goals than Mikko last season. Mikko was also drafted cheaper/lower, makes less, is bigger, has a cup, no playoff effort controversy etc.
Not a fair comparison at all but Marner is still top 20 in the league imo.
If you are Arizona you take Dylan Strome obviously
Mikko allllll day
Rantanen 10/10
Rantanen all day. He’s everything Marner is but bigger and better
I’ll take the guy [with his own theme song, please](https://youtu.be/_1D1l7mdgU8)
Rantanen all day
I like Marner, and clearly he’s well regarded for his defensive play. But even with similar numbers, Rantanen is a better goal scorer, especially at even strength, and seems to be more of a player that can almost carry a team, post and regular season.
Well, as we say in Carolina, more Finns, more Winns. The choice makes itself.
Mikko. Not close imo
Rantanen 200%
I’ll take the one that has proven the ability to perform under pressure.
Hint: that isn’t Marner.
First I think we have a more important decision to make, and that’s whether or not to permanently ban you from ever working as a graphics artist
Rantanen 100%
Still Rantanen he actually performs when it matters unlike Mitch the Bitch.
Rantanen. Next question
