Mitch Marner from game one of the playoffs till right now has been so productive, and we all know that he is the play driver, him and Jack Eichel, right?

But Marner is...

such an important play driver for Vegas and I think that the cons my voters are kind of smart enough to make that distinction now you never know right because goal totals they can do a lot and I think it was the year that Jonathan Marcheseau won the Calder or sorry when the cons might I should say for Vegas when they won the cup previously you know he had 13 goals 25 points so

So it was still pretty balanced, but Jack Eichel was an absolute beast in that playoffs, just didn't really have the goal-scoring totals.

He had six goals and 20 assists, and I thought Jack Eichel, because he was a two-way center, had a really, really strong case to win the conspife that season.

Instead, it went to Jonathan Marcheseau.

Could we see something similar with Howden versus Marner?

Yeah, we could, except I think Marcheseau was a much more complete player than Howden is.

And Marner is having just a really sensational Stanley Cup playoff.

So I still think barring something crazy, because again, there's still three more games to win for Vegas here.

But if Marner remains productive and you look at it, the total track record from the start of the playoffs, it's Mitch Marner's to win.

If the Vegas Golden Knights figure out a way to take home the Stanley Cup.

The other thing I wanted to chat about with Shannon Goldman that we didn't get a chance was the

Dylan Larkin conversation.

Where could he end up?

What are the possible dominoes that could follow from Dylan Larkin asking out of the Detroit Red Wings?

And we saw that confirmed by Max Bultman after reported by Elliott Friedman yesterday.

And I mean, this is a massive, massive deal.

And Dylan Larkin's an interesting player because, you know, I don't think anyone is going to mistake him for a superstar level first line center.

He's in that category where
