Why?Honestly guys? Come on.

If only we had one of those in the poll.Pt/gm and selke nominee center
Barkov is the obvious choice here. Could change in a year though but let’s see first.Honestly guys? Come on.

So since Matthews isnt playing the same TOI its a bad decision for Florida even though he excelled in the top line minute roleMatthews is better than him.
The production might be close, but that has a lot to do with Barkov playing 22 minutes a game, which is just a stupid coaching decision on Florida's part.
Just watching them play you can see Matthews is a better player than Barkov, and will be better than him when he's the same age.
Bump this thread in a year to see it.

Shows how overrated Matthews has gotten From Leafs fans by being in the Toronto media echo chamber so longIt's cute when Toronto fans think these are ridiculous comparisons

Was your goal to completely make **** up and look silly or..?

You know why he played that much.
To cover for their abysmal depth and to play heavy defensive minutes, those extra minutes at that level don't quarantee extra points, Matthews game could have saw a massive drop on the 2nd half of the season if he had to play those minutes.
Barkov was better last year but Matthews could be better next year-.
Yeah I think it’s close too. But Barkov had a top 5 Selke finish and was close to a PPG. Because he’s with a smaller market team he doesn’t get the same press and we know who has the biggest fan base when it comes to HF polls.I'm not sure "cute" is the word I'd use since it seems to come up every single thread.
Barkov vs. Matthews is a legit poll. Matthews might be better at some point, but I think *right now* Barkov has the edge due to a better defensive game.
so all you have is hypotheticals to prove Matthews is better, stating if he had as much time as Barkov...Has nothing to do with the Leafs not playing Matthews 22 minutes a game, I never want him to get that high up in minutes.
Panthers have two centers playing over 21 minutes a game, they would be better served spreading those minutes out more.
If Matthews did play 22 minutes a game though, and had 3+ minutes on that Marner PP, he'd blow Barkov's numbers out of the water.
so you admit to skewing the poll results?I went with Matthews, but if I was being completely unbias as "who's the better player" I'd give the slightest of edges to Barkov.
He's almost as good offensively but twice the player defensively. Matthews is younger, plays much (much) less, is always saddled with Hyman, and I'd take him if we were asking who I'd rather on my team.
