Wow did Mathews ever impress me yesterday. The shot, the vision, the 200 foot game. This kid is going to be sprcial
He definitely looks the complete package. Really think the difference between Matthews and Laine is not just the fact Matthews plays centre, but he looks a better player. Laine is more flash and dash, but a lot of his goals come off the rush or with a big shot. Matthews seems to find different ways to score. His shot is also more deceptive, with an amazing ability to get his shot off in a big hurry. He is also very good in his own end. Laine might be on more highlight reels, but have a feeling when he isn't scoring he may not be the most effective player. Matthews is the type of foundation center you build with.
Not really sure why so much debate about Laine and Matthews, the comparison should really be between the two Finn's. On the other side of the coin, Matthews should be more compared to Eichel...not Laine.
