Nah Matthews > Drai this year fs and probably overall
If matthews ever put up draisaitl numbers Toronto media would say he’s better than McDavid. Matthews could never put up 55G and 55A in one season so overall easily draisaitl

Matthews has been better defensively (though Drai has been great this year) and is about to put up two 60+ goal seasons, Drai is great but Matthews is the most talented goal scorer ever

Draisaitl is a pass first 50 goal scorer and has more 50 goal seasons than matthews also won a hart with mcdavid on his team with an Art Ross and can’t say it’s because of mcdavid injury because even before that draisaitl was out scoring him
Are goalies excluded from this list? Because if this is just a top 10 players to build a franchise around I think Vasy deserves consideration to be on that list.

For their career Vasy does deserve some consideration but not this season

Let’s be real matthews would be the best player in the league if his stats were as good as draisaitl in the last 5 years and if draisaitl was on Toronto he would be the best player in the league
I think he's 11... close to the list but just not there. I'd rather have a center like Barkov
Fair enough, the biggest thing between the two is that Barkov is just more experienced. Hughes is by far more talented, explosive and offensive but Barkov is just a much safer 1C to have due to his playmaking, defensive game and IQ
I don't think anyone takes him over Makar, Matthews or Mack though, Matthews there's an argument for on Kuch being better but not Mack and Makar
Take Kucherov over Mathews everyday 3RWs in NHL history have Multiple 75 assist seasons Guy LeFluer, Jaromir Jagr, Nikita Kucherov
There are 3 players in NHL history with back to back 30 points playoff seasons Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemeiux, Nikita Kucherov. Top 3 all day. He's also better defensively than people think and has a bit of a nasty streak to his game.
When you're accomplishing thing only done buy Gretzky, Lemeiux,Jagr and LeFluer says everything that needs to be said.
He also makes several million less than those guys give me Kucherov today tomorrow next week month year .

That's a fair point. My perfect kind of center is the Barkov, RBA or Aho type of center... ppg scorer or better who's way above average in his end and can be deployed in all situations so that biases me towards the Barkov types
