Would you trade a Selke Winner for a Non-Generational 1st OA?

Matthews isn't labelled as Generational. That's why I said Generational/Elite.

He's a step above the others besides McDavid is what I was getting at.

So you label McDavid generational, and Matthews as elite instead of labeling them both the same!

You could make the argument he is, or close to it.

Did he get more than a 1 PPG?

Mackinnon = Elite

Ekblad = 1D(That may had went down the drain though he's likely just a 1st Pairing guy)

McDavid = Generational

Matthews = Superstar/Franchise C

Hischier = Elite(I think it's a rare chance of him being Elite though, but he's got all the tools)



I would not be suprised if the last two players win a Selke in they're future either.

Matthews isn't generational. I would only trade Bergeron for McDavid.

Bergeron is a pretty good player (I consider him more than just a Selke winner, he’s a franchise player)but Lou hangs up and blocks the Bruins number if they think Bergeron is worth Matthews.

We won’t know if Matthews is generational or not until after this season. If he puts up 40+ goals, ~90 points as a sophomore in this low scoring league, he’s absolutely generational. If he follows up this season with a slight bump to a 75-80 point season, he’s at the same level as Tavares, Stamkos etc. A superstar but not a generational player.

Who even knows if McDavid would have finished above 1PPG if he played the full 82 games instead of half the season?
