2. Marner the Magician

Should we really be surprised at this point? Mitch Marner has some of the best hands in the world and that paired with his improved shot this year makes for one dangerous player at all times.

Here,  Rielly on the blueline spots a guy with 16 on the back of his jersey down low just below the hash marks ready for a pass and with a little bit of space.

After taking the pass rink wide Marner toe drags around a kneeling Senator before finding a spot when there were seemingly no spots to find.

Marner continues to add to his spectacular performance this season, with a team-leading 21 assists and 30 points in 19 games. Now that he is not only a passing threat but a shooting threat, it makes him that much more dangerous. If goalies start to cheat and anticipate a pass too early then it’s an easy goal for Mitch and vice versa.

At a $10.9 million AAV, Marner is making no off-game money, and he is playing with no off games.
