You're going to hear this a lot, but Marner is a player who has gone under a lot of people's radar because of the focus on Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, and that seems to be driving him a little bit.

Marner isn't a big guy, but he's willing to do whatever is necessary to make a play happen, and has the skating and hands to rush up ice and fill the back of the net the moment he catches the other team making a mistake.
