connor mcdavid ( current points leader)
mark scheitle( his line mate)
taylor hall ( you know who he is)
corey perry (hart trophy, rocket richard winner)

But that's not a negative. What team has rookies like Matthews/Marner/Nylander? None. There hasn't been a trio of rookies on one team in years.
It's arguable he's not been as good as Marner, but if he is, it isn't a knock. Marner looks like a star out there and put up some of the best seasons in OHL history.
