I'll make sure to mention that at the support group. Enjoy talking to yourself though, I'm sure your opinions really give you the excitement you're looking for.

About this-isn't right this very second the contracts favouring Matthews?
Anything else is speculation.

5 points in 6 games last season-people forget that.
A potential maybe-like his contract?

Was closer before, but now that Scheifele has proven to be a playoff beast and Matthews chokes in the playoffs, it's easily Scheifele
Based on one series (out of 2, the other in which he had 5 points in 6 games), and was injured.
Why do people even bother partaking in discussions when they're gonna be this ridiculous and disingenuous?

because lol Jets
The separation between the 4th best center and the 6th best center is extremely marginal to the point where it becomes indistinguishable. Matthews is a better goal scorer and his even strength production is elite but he is a shoot-first center and doesn't have the same playmaking abilities as Scheifele or the top centers in the league - at least to this point. Matthews is 20, so you have to allow for some growth but Crosby's best offensive season was when he was 19.
In a vacuum, Matthews should have a better offensive career, but once you add contracts to the mix, Matthews will likely be making what Scheifele and Josh Morrissey make combined. Give me Scheifele.

It's speculation based on a reasonable assessment of the situation. To ignore the fact that he will likely have a significantly higher cap hit simply because we don't know what his actual cap hit will be would be idiotic.

Who would u rather add to ur team
You have no idea how much this kind of grammar makes my blood boil. YOU YOUR
Scheifele is the better offensive player but I think Matthews could close the gap by getting better defensively. That is what stood out watching Matthews...when he is on his game he is knocking down pucks, intercepting passes and dictating the game 5v5.

It's speculation to even assume there will be a season next year. For all we know it could become a competitive golf league next year.
Realistically though, the NHL will continue to be comprised of hockey teams and Matthews will get a lot more than 6 million. Sometimes refusing speculation is just denial.
Come to think of it, I don't think the current contract favors Matthews at all. If you could replace Matthews current contract with 7 years 6 million, you wouldn't do it? You're probably all alone there. Lord knows I wouldn't replace Schiefele's contract with a one year 900k + max bonuses deal.

Schiefele is barely a better offensive player right now, if he even is. He scores less goals and roughly at the same point pace with better line mates and powerplay opportunities. How many times do I need to say this before people can actually try to refute it.

No not this. He was great in the playoffs last year. He hasn't played enough games to be a playoff hero or choker. Schiefele was utter garbage in 2014 when the Jets were in the playoffs, yet no one here seems to care.

A 20 year old player that has a 40 goal season under their belt, following it up with a 45 goal pace in the next season while being ppg+ over a big sample size gets payed.

Was Schief a choke artist after 2014? Or do young players often have ups and downs in a playoff situation? If this is the best you can come up with, don't waste my time. I have better things to do.
