Objectively there is no argument to be made for Matthews. He is no where near being the player Scheifele is and doesn't put up points like Scheifele, especially in the playoffs. All the while Matthews will be getting paid 5 or 6 mil more for inferior play.
I'm a Jet fan and Scheifele is my favorite player in the league. I believe that he has to potential to be a Art Ross Trophy winner in the future. That said I believe that Matthews has the potential to be even better then Scheifele. He has everything it take to be a top C in the league. As Leafs fans have mentioned Scheifele did not do much in his first PO's even though he was a older player then Matthews. Schiefele is now showing he can dominate in the PO's and I expect Matthews to match or exceed him in the future. All this said to leaf fans you may find out that if Matthews matches Scheifele's current play then you have a great centre. If he doesn't end up better he will still be a great player that the Leafs can build on to take them to be a cup contender.
If he does end up better then Scheifele then you guys are going to have a lot of fun watching this guy and success in the PO's is coming.
