90+ goals, obviously.

Mathews Fails to play 80gm.
Missing games is a performance issue.
A Fan on HF board taught me that.

Mathews is a 3.44 SH/gm player.
We see a jump to 3.77/ gm this yr.
He is a career 15.6% shot density player.

80gm x 3.77 = 301 shots x 15.6% = 47 goals.

were the issue is Transition passing.
Mcdavid reciever a lot of elite open space passes from a top 5 passer in the game. ( Draisaitl)

Draisaitl was a 2.29 shot/ gm player that yeilded shooting to over passing to Mcdavid.

Now he takes the shots that will yeild high success % open shots.
2.89 sh/gm
Yet he still has puck shielding and side board control to create amazing transition passing that stalls defence or out passes def.
The number of times Mcdavid points to Drai for elite passes has become common place.

the concern is Does Mcdavids transition goal numbers go down with Mathews inferior passing and eating of shot volume. Almost 1 more per game than Draisaitl.

Now that teams have to pay more attention to Draisaitls positioning the last 101 games
We see Mcdavids shooting % climb from 13.8% to a consistent 17.1% last 101 gm.

-Pocession by player requires real analysis.
- Passing
- shot volume
- shot density

we shall see if Mathews can play 80 gm Per season in next 2 seasons.

I wonder if Drai can become the 12th player to have 3 - 50G 105P seasons in a career.

Active players 50+ G 105+ P seasons
Ovechkin 4
Crosby 1
Malkin 1
Draisaitl 1

The funny thing about this post is that Draisaitl is currently outscoring McDavid. So if we give Matthews a McDavid does he outscore McDavid too? Looks like we're back to the old "Is Matthews > McDavid?" beginning of November debate.

The leafs drive time crowd said Mathews is not in the same class as
Ovechkin, Crosby, Mcdavid, Draisaitl.

They are huge Leafs Kool aid Crowd.
The argument is over!

The Buffalo Sabres offer Ryan O'Reilly 7.5 cap, Rasmus Ristolainen 5.4, Colin Miller 3.5, first round 2020 and Dylan Cozens for

German Gretz and Russell

O'Reilly is on a good deal, perfect defensive stopper, really is a prime piece. Please return our call before we take Tage Thompson!!!!!!

Excellent. Now Edmonton fans can have fun with the idiocy that Pens fans have dealt with for a decade.

Should of traded Malkin in 2012!

 

[SupremeTeam16]

What do you think Matthews numbers would be playing with McDavid?

he would beat Gretzkys goal scoring record in one season. Obviously.

Excellent. Now Edmonton fans can have fun with the idiocy that Pens fans have dealt with for a decade.

Just think of the package they could get for Draisaitl! One of those players could even turn out to be as good as Draisaitl!

What if you get a Telecaster and a sweet little Marshall travel amp, too?
