Honestly, there are people on this board who argue that Matthews is a "generational talent". Saying Guentzel is elite is hardly an extreme position.


Well, what do you consider generational? Matthews is the best player drafted 2016 or later.

Nope he isn't generational or nope he's not the best player drafted past 2016. Because I might agree with the first one, but if you actually think Matthews is not the best player drafted 2016 or later you are just biased.

He’s clearly an elite player. The definition of elite is:
“a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.”

He’s clearly one of the top left wingers in the NHL, therefore, he’s an elite player.

He'd beat Brent Seabrook in a race. That's pretty elite..

Think he's a step below elite but if he has a couple more 40 goal seasons he can get there. With that being said, he plays with Crosby so it's not that impressive

Wait what? Who would you argue was better then Matthews? Dahlin? No way.

And if Guentzel is elite then ya Matthews is generational. If he follows regular aging patterns I think he could end up with upwards of 750 goals and 1600 pts. He's going to be inducted into the HHOF and if he stays with the Leafs his whole career (I'd give it a 50/50) he will go down as the greatest leaf of all time imo. That's close to Sakic.

I agree but I don't understand why Leafs fans (I am one) always feel the need to explain how good Matthews is. His play speaks for itself and if people want to turn a blind eye to it because hes a Leaf then let them miss out. He's obviously a franchise player, one of the best players in the league

No...I was jk...u wanted ppl to say he was elite

But in all seriousness, he isn't elite. He is a great player but anyone can become great playing with Crosby. Check out Zucker... almost a ppg player with Crosby and had 29 points in 45 games with MIN


Exactly, when you play with guys like Crosby and McDavid of course you're going to have more points than you should. I can't wait until Crosby, Malkin and Letang retire. The Pens will completely fall apart!!!

I know boys, he just gets so little respect. All that leaf bias. I would argue Matthews is going to be a top 3 player in the nhl in his prime.

Yeah if he was on any mid-market team, he'd be accepted as one of the best in the league already but because he plays on the Leafs he isnt even top 10 at his position according to some

I don’t understand how people don’t think Matthews is a top 10 centre.

I'd say AM34 is a top-10 guy in the NHL currently.

1. McDavid
2. Draisatl
3. Crosby
4. Panarin
5. Pastrnak
6. Matthews
7. Ovi
