Both great players but I’ll take the more proven guy who is currently sixth in points on a worse team. He’s driving the offense with much less support in NY. And he’s been a great player for a while now.
On any objective basis it’s Panarin.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Auston Matthews who's currently 2nd in goals with 27 and on pace for at least 50 this season.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Auston

Matthews for sure, the 40 goal scoring teenager. The NHL is about to see how elite this player is.

No slight at Panarin though. Top player in the NHL.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Panarin.

 

[Lays]

Right now it’s Panarin ainec. Could change soon but Panarin has been a top 5 player this season

 

[Isaac Nootin]

AINEC? Well then.

 

[Lays]

AINEC? Well then.

Plays with worse linemates, better defensively, and is pacing for 20 more points. Pretty easy right now

I will read this thread again in 1-2 years.

Both great players, but I will chose the 22 year old career PPG C who only seems to be taking the next step right now (so underperforming at PPG lol) hence bumping this again in a year.

However, breadman is a hell of a great player.

 

[tstracuzza]

Panarin. More dynamic and driver of his line. Matthews is more of a heatley type.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

pretty close but I'll take the better goal scorer who plays the tougher position

 

[All Mod Cons]

Panarin AINEC.

We're running out of players to compare Matthews to. At the moment i think he's dropped outside the top 100.

Let's do Matthews vs Huberdeau next

 

[ViD]

I don’t know why you’d compare a sniper to a playmaker

 

[Zamuz]

Panarin is putting up more points playing with worse players. Matthews plays in one of the most offensively stacked teams

Its pretty clearly Panarin.

No one forced Panarin to sign with a rebuilding Rangers team.

Give me Matthews.

What does any of this have to do with who’s better? Lol

 

[Pyrophorus]

Once again W>C interesting.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Once again W>C interesting.

Once again, people are voting for the better player.

 

[Paul4587]

Right now Panarin by a bit. Going forward I would expect Matthews to overtake him.

what does scoring 40 as a teenager have to do with anything?

 

[Leafidelity]

Second in the league in goals, btw

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

There's nearly no separation, so I'll go with the center over wing.

That's so petty. This thread is about who's better right now so I voted Panarin because Matthews just isn't good at defense at all, yet. If the thread was about 2 years from now I'd vote Matthews but it's not.
