Thread: Top 5 Players at each position
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>But MacKinnon after starting so slow in his career broke out. Why can't Matthews? I don't think he's going to score 50 goals but 70+ points in 56 games which would be above 90 points over 82 is something I would be shocked if he didn't accomplish. Him being as good as MacKinnon doesn't take Way from Mack. It just means Matthews is dynamite as well.</div></div>

I don’t disagree, and we’ve had this conversation before. If he scores 50 goals that would be amazing. Legit question for you though doesn’t it concern you that because of the schedule and divisions that the Leafs(any team really that’s good right now) are going to blitz through the regular season then in the final 4 play somebody so stylistically different than they have faced all year they don’t deal well with it?

Thread: Vegas is just the better squad smh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>This is why I tried telling everyone that Tuch wasn’t going to get moved all offseason. He’s the only forward under 26 that has shown any ability to score on the team.

Whitecloud is coming on so strong though. I’m so impressed with the kid.



Tuch will score 20+ again this year. Last year he just couldn’t catch a break with injuries and the first year he was a rookie that bounced all around between lines.

Tuch finally played with his size and speed last night like I’ve never seen before. Maybe playing with Stone bumped up his confidence. If he plays like that nightly he’s a force. The problem is it seems like he’s never built on it. Let’s see going forward now</div></div>

Tuch has talent it’s why he was a 1st rd pick to begin with, but yeah the guy that super impressed me was Whitecloud he just made so many good solid plays in the series. Carrier on the other hand has played to far over the line of aggressive imo, the Landeskog hit in Tahoe was straight dirty and dangerous. Regardless I think it is becoming obvious that VGK and COL, sorry STL, are the not only the 2 best teams in the west but 2 of the best 4 or 5 teams in the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>This Avs team could really do with a big body who can skate like Tuch. Would help us out a lot against some of the bigger teams.

You're right about Marchessault and Tuch, and Seattle. Teams will likely have learned their lesson about not getting fancy with trades, so Seattle will probably have to take a long-game. That said, they'll have the advantage of joining in a flat cap league where they'll be able to leverage capspace to great effect.</div></div>

Everybody could use a guy like Tuch, I like him but let’s reign in some of the platitudes for a 1 time 20 goal scorer.

You hit the nail on the head w/Seattle cap space is their WMD but they are going to be saddled with some expensive bad players the 1st few years. I keep thinking what’s the enticement the Avs have to give up to get them to take Compher.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Relax man. Avs were the better team in the first 3 games. Tonight they were sloppy and Vegas capitalised on mistakes. They have bigger concerns than the Avs do, namely their lack of finish and the lack of a 1C. Vegas got the bounces today and Avs had more chances despite playing badly. Not worried about this game at all.

P.S. Tuch is great. He'd be the perfect LW for this team to add right now with that combination of size and speed.</div></div>
Idk that Tuch is great he’s big guy that can skate and beside shooting astronomically higher than his career avg has caught some fortunate breaks. I will say that him and Marshessault are the poster boys for why Seattle won’t be able to replicate what VGK did in the expansion draft.

Thread: Top 5 Players at each position
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>In MacKinnon's 5th season he broke out in a big way scoring his first 90 point season. In Matthews 4th season, he would have scored his first 90 point season had he played 82. This season he is on pace for 55 goals in 55 games. Prorate for a full season and he is on his way to a 120 point season in his 5th. At a certain point people are going to have to respect him for what he is. He's a beast at both ends of the ice and the best goal scorer in the game now. He's 3rd in the league in take aways as well. Proof he's a two way monster.</div></div>

We’ve been through this. Matthew’s isn’t going to continue at this pace and he is going to play every season where he gets games against so many sad ass defenses. Your a Matthews fan boy give it rest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>I think theres a legit convo to be had about who the best C is between McDavid, MacKinnon, and Matthews. Imo they are a lot closer than most people think. But its tough to compare them (especially offensively) this season because of how weak the north division defense is</div></div>
There is a reason TSN ranked MacKinnon #1, he takes it to another level in the playoffs, and in clutch situations. I’d 100% agree Matthew’s is the best goal scorer, McDavid the most dangerous offensive player, but MacKinnon just goes affects the game in all 3 zones at a crazy level, look at the goal against Vegas back check, poke check, transition, handles and shot.
Playoff scoring ppg
MacKinnon 1.35 (40 games)
McDavid 1.06 (17 games)
Matthew’s 0.76 (25 games)
