Replace Mcdavid with Matthews

Lmao

Reigning hart winner, back to back Rocket Richard winner, 11th in Selke (while playing with Mitch Marner's caliber of defence), 6'3" 208 lbs, plays a complete game, plays physical, according to Zegras; is the best breakout centermen in the NHL but nah, who would want that package?

Yeah, McDavid is better

Because he floats? Doesn't back check? Can't make a hit? Flashy but doesn't pass?

Well he has about 100 more points than Matthews over the last three years, and points literally win games. I'm not sure what to tell you, McDavid is just better.

he has 94 points and is a +6. That's not a coincidence

That's 41 more points than Matthews. That's the same as the gap between Matthews and Derek Ryan.

I don't think you read my reply properly. (94+every time he's been on the ice for a goal for that he didn't get a point on)-6=88.

This mean he's been scored on at least 88 times (about 2 goals against a game

Replace Mcdavid with Matthews

BRUTAL take

Then why is it that EDM doesn't win with their core? Is it because of their defensemen? No, if Mcdavid is so good, why is it that playing with (in my opinion a top 3 player in the NHL) in Leon Draisaitl and with Hyman at his best, Nudge at his best, Kane looking better than ever, battling for a playoff spot in the weakest division out of the 4 whereas Matthews' team is sitting in 4rth place in the NHL and second in their division in the toughest league in the NHL? Offense may score goals but defence is where teams win games

*Offense AND defense win games, and while he's only adaquate at defense, his offensive impacts are WAY more impressive than Matthews (no offense to him). Also u can't just compare team results when Edmonton is one of the worst run teams in the league. They have about two solid dman, below average goaltending, and 3 other forwards to help him (RNH doesn't count, only Mcdavid can bring this guy to about 100 points lmao). Matthews acc has a team to help him, Mcdavid does not, and he still drags his team to a playoff spot/third round/etc.
