Setting aside all the goals, assists, special unit time, and first line presence, here are all the ways Alex Pezetta is a better fit for the Leafs than Mitch Marner..
1. Easier on the stats guys. Instead of having to open the spreadsheet 102 times a season for Marner, the stats guys can take it easy when Pezetta is on the ice. Also, you don't have to hit shift when typing the " - " sign like you do to get the "+ " sign, so you're welcome, stats guys with carpel tunnel syndrome.
2. Better hair. In a parity league, in a super competitive eastern conference, every team needs a hair guy. It's not even close between Marner and Pezetta.
3. Cooler nickname: Pezz, the Pezzer, Pezz Dispenser. Compared to Marnie? C'mon.
Any way you cut it, Pezzeta > Marner. Bring on the Cup!
