Mark Scheifele vs Auston Matthews

[flamesforcup]

This is not a who is better poll. This is who you would rather have poll. Would u take the gamble with Matthews who is 5 years younger or would u take the sure thing signed to a good deal.
Take everything into account (age, potential, contracts etc) who would u rather add to ur team today.

Scheif is better now but he is entering his prime. Matthews is 21 with 40 goals and 34 goals in 62 games in his first two years. He is a 200 foot player, who dominates around the net with his smooth hands and 6 foot 5 230 frame. This is a guy who is going to put up 40+ goals a year for the next number of years.

No disrespect to Scheif, I think he is a tremendous player and him in the playoffs is just not fair. Winnipeg has done a fantastic job bringing that roster along and Chevy proved a lot of people wrong on this board. He deserves all the praise, and I hope he is not unfairly trash talked in this thread.

However let's not forget that Scheif was no where near as good as Matthews at this point. Matthews to start the year was DOMINANT. He played through injuries all year and was still quite good. Only black mark he has on his resume is one poor playoff after being really good last year.

So who would I rather have? The 21 year old 40 goal scoring 6 foot 5 center with a 200 foot game.

Matthews is like 5 years younger and already as good as him. Leaf haters will ruin this poll.







Why can't a vote????

I think u need to have a certain amount of posts or wait a certain amount of time before u can vote after creating a new account

Auston Matthews isn't a gamble.

People are overreacting so much to tiny sample sizes just because it's the playoffs.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

I think Scheif is better now, but Matthews is still improving on some pretty impressive seasons. I'll take him.

I'd pick Matthews as well but no need to exaggerate his size.

Ha, you're right. I deserve that one as I misremembered. He is 6 foot 3 and 215.

its important to let people know that you are big

 

[Albatros]

Scheifele, need a player that shows up in the playoffs.

 

[Skolman]

Scheifele, need a player that shows up in the playoffs.

I can't recall what Scheifele was doing as a 19 & 20 yr old in the playoffs, can you help remind me?

 

[Paul4587]

Scheifele is better this season by a decent margin but chances are Matthews surpasses him within a year or two.

I do think Matthews 200 foot game is grossly exaggerated though.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Give me the guy that performs in the playoffs instead of choking

 

[Plural]

Love Scheif but I would trade him straight up with Matthews.

 

[rubikscube]

If Matthews signs for under 9 million per year then definitely Matthews.
If Matthews gets 10.5 then definitely Scheif.

I'm undecided who I'd go with in that in that 9ish range

 

[Regal]

They're pretty close now and I expect Matthews to be decently better in his prime. Plus he's younger. The only real question is contracts as Matthews will likely get 10+. But with the cap going up that will be pretty standard for franchise centers and I'd rather pay a little more to be guaranteed a guy in his prime for that much longer

 

[TheMule93]

Matthews because age

 

[JetsHomer]

Considering contracts it’s Scheifele and it’s not even close
