Only Two options? What about Matthews, Eichel, Gaudreau?

EDIT: I guess I was early, only Tkachuk and Kessel showed up when I clicked.

Also please leave suggestions on who to add.

 

[Captain Bowie]

I'll take Matthews going forward from that list.

Add Tyler Motte.

 

[Regal]

Matthews, Eichel, Gaudreau and Kessel are the clear next four, and I could see arguments for any of them. Went with Matthews. Disappointing playoffs aside, I think his goalscoring and all around game stand out

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

probably Matthews at this point. his goal scoring ability, 5v5 play, and defensive acumen separate him here.

add Guentzel I guess

 

[Ctrain2k]

I'll take Matthews going forward from that list.

Way to read the title.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Ugh, I forgot about Gaudreau... voted Matthews by accident.

 

[HomeAndHome]

I'll stick with what I said last thread;

Gaudreau, Kessel, Matthews, Eichel

 

[Captain Bowie]

Way to read the title.

Care to explain how I read it wrong?

Jake Guentzel

that isn't the question, the OP asks right now who is better, and right now that is easily Kessel. he's coming off a 92 point season.

I understand that. And I still take Matthews starting RIGHT NOW, moving FORWARD.

Not saying anyone is wrong to take Kessel, it's a matter of preference. Matthews plays the tougher, more important position, their PPG's were not that far off, and they actually scored the same number of ES points despite Matthews playing 20 less games.

You said going forward when it clearly says right now.

 

[Captain Bowie]

You said going forward when it clearly says right now.

Going forward is the direction. The starting point is RIGHT NOW. Is it that hard to comprehend?

 

[Ctrain2k]

What? No it's who you'd rather have for a game today.

 

[Captain Bowie]

What? No it's who you'd rather have for a game today.

Fine. Matthews. Since a game today would be considered RIGHT NOW.

I'm terrible sorry I included the words "going forward" in my originally statement, I didn't think it would send a couple of you into such a tizzy. What I am trying to state as clearly as possible, is that I would take Auston Matthews from that list for a game today, right now, or however you want to say it.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Voting for regular season Matthews.

 

[jetsforever]

Hard to say between probably Gaudreau/Matthews/Kessel
Went with Gaudreau, but I expect Matthews will pass him soon

 

[tony d]

Phil "The Thrill" Kessel.

 

[Halla]

gotta be matthews. 40g/ppg C is more valuable than ppg winger

 

[Halla]

that isn't the question, the OP asks right now who is better, and right now that is easily Kessel. he's coming off a 92 point season.

easily? he raked on a pp with malkin,crosby,letang etc....

Kessel: 50ESpts in 82 games
Matthews: 50ESpts in 62 games
