I mean you could probably argue it if you put a heavy prioritization on goal scoring

That said it would be a very hard argument to make.

If Ovi was 5 years younger it would be no question. Prime Ovi gets it easily.. now I'd take Matthews.

It'll be interesting to see if Matthews gets just as lazy and goal hungry as Ovie is now, when Auston gets older.

For sure Matthews. I don’t think Ovi is that good, he is good at scoring goals, but that’s it.

No contest here. Matthews plays centre, and during the last season, he has improved tremendously in his own zone. In fact, he was our most reliable C defensively (though the bar is low). And, he just added an efficient one-timer to his arsenal. Much more complete player.

McDavid is going to unreal in his career, Matthews is definitely going to be right there with him and MacKinnon over the next decade but McDavid will be #1 without a doubt. Just like Sid, he'll develop a two way game year over year and learn how to win and be lethal offensively doing it

Ovechkin is 10 years older why are you comparing them? Ovechkin in his prime blows Matthews out. Ovechkin is the great goal scorer of all time.

Ovi is ok, but I would rather have a guy that is good all around instead of just scoring goals!..

Tbh I’m not going to argue with you but you saying he’s not good is just funny. I assume you are like 10-12 and haven’t seen ovechkin in his prime.

Oh I have seen Ovi in his prime, and all he does is score goals. He isn’t that good at defence at all.

“All he does is score goals” man what a terrible thing to do. This is just one of those generic ovechkin narrative that lazy people use to discredit him. He’s easily a top 3 player of his generation. Is Matthews?

I am worried that McDavid is not going to last for the long term the way he plays the game. He skates full speed with the puck and those kind of players seem to get injured.
