Never forget how good Ovi was for over a decade. Seems people forget so easily. This guy would throw big hits, score insane goals, make great passes and was an overall killer.
Mathews may very well become a better goal scorer but he will never become a better overall player.
Ovie will finish his career as a top 10 player to ever play in the NHL. Likely somewhere around 7th-10th. Mathews will need a lot of 60 goal seasons to be in the top 10 conversation.
Im personally just happy the NHL has a player like Mathews to watch for the next decade now that ovie and Crosby are on their way out.
Yes there is McDavid but im just not a fan of his. I like players who dont virtue signal and act like a douche. He is probably my least favorite player in the league no matter how good he is. Even if he got 200 points a season I would dislike him.
