In 15 games this season, Marner has 19 points, which is a 104-point pace over a full NHL season. While this rate of production may seem unsustainable, a closer examination shows that this is likely what the Toronto Maple Leafs can expect from Marner over the long-term.
For instance, after an abbreviated sophomore slump at the beginning of last season, Marner’s developmental path took a sharp upward turn in the latter half of the 2017-18 campaign. Over his last 50 NHL games (including playoffs) Marner has accrued 61 points: A rate of 1.22 points per game.
