I agree that Marner probably isn't the type to be "the" guy for a team. But it's insane that he's 6th among NHLers and 24th against an all-time list in points/game production and we call him complementary.
But yeah, without Matthews and others on the leafs, he probably has more ordinary numbers.
Nevertheless he has elite skill and the Flames have none of that so it would be foolish to decline the opportunity to add that without surrendering an asset.
