Unless they give out the Cup in January, nuh uh.
 
You're never going to convince me that a guy who scores playoff goals at a Kerfkrok level could win a cup, whether he had 1, 18, or 118 of them on the same team.

Playoff goals since 19/20:

Marner: 8
KampKrokFoot: 8

Wouldn't a team with 12 Mitch Marners at forward and 6 Mitch Marners on D win the cup every year?

If so, then leadership and character is mostly bullshit and skill will supersede and prevail every time.

Would they all have the same dad, or do they each have their own? How would you choose a captain? How would you manage the room when they all become jealous of each other? A lot of potential problems here.
 
Okay putzes, would 18 Matthews on one team win the cup every year, regardless of whether he is a "leader" or has "character"?

By the way, in a reality where it's impossible to have that happen of course, I'm not arguing that leadership and character aren't actual things. The point is, even if he's completely lacking in both areas, won't that team win the cup every single year? Isn't a ton of skill the remedy to the absence of all of the intangibles? If it is, then we can only focus on it so much, and should instead just be trying to jam pack the team with skill to overcome any obstacle the lack of intangibles in our players pose to success.

Problem you’d run into is that only three of your Marners could wear a letter and only one could be captain. Then the rest of them would pout, bitch and moan and eventually demand a trade.

Though I suppose maybe you could placate them all by having the letters regularly rotate through the roster, similar to the rotating letter arrangement the Leafs came up to placate the real-life Caillou…I mean, Marner.

Even then though, only five of them could play on the first line, top defense pairing and first power-play unit. And the rest would, again, pout bitch and moan about this terrible slight to their dignity to the point of utter ineffectiveness.

And even all that aside, your team actually needs to score goals in the playoffs to advance and actually win a Cup. Which we all know from long experience a team full of Marners would be incapable of doing.

You can only have one lead dog in a pack, and 17 others would sulk that they were not picked
