Matthews because after seeing the Leafs play against the Lighting in Tampa Bay a few weeks ago, you appreciate his overall game a lot more than just watching him on TV.
Hyman has been blamed for many things since the beginning of civilization. Leaf fans have taken it to a new extreme.I bet Hyman gets blamed for this...
Eichel pretty easily although I will say AM might have the highest IQ here.
Barkov is the best defensive or two way guy here
Eichel is the best playmaker
Matthews obviously the best goal scorer
As a Sabres fan, I concur. As far as playmaking I'd give the nod to Eichel. He makes crazy passes that make you wonder how constantly. Seems like nobody in Buffalo can score without Eichel on there line. Raw shooting. (especially when close to the net) is Matthews. He can keep the puck on his stick and get a superb shot off in a crowd. Barkov reminds me of the saying good at everything master of none. But he's really good at everything in the O zone and probably the best on defence.
I bet Hyman gets blamed for this...
Selective reading I see. I said when seeing Matthews play live and in person I can appreciate his overall game a lot more than just watching him on TV.Assists pr game in their Careers so far.
Eichel: 0.55
Matthews: 0.43
Or roughly 10 more assists for Eichel over a full 82 game season.
This season.
Eichel: 0.87
Matthews: 0.64
But matthews is a better playmaker because you watched him live once, and that made you appreciate him more?
That’s great. I’m sure those who watched Barkov and Eichel feel the same.Selective reading I see. I said when seeing Matthews play live and in person I can appreciate his overall game a lot more than just watching him on TV.

It's my own personal opinion and I can live with it.There's nothing selective about his reading. The thread topic is who is the "better playmaker" and that's the only reasoning you gave for why you would choose Matthews. The only other conclusion one could come to is that you posted that in the wrong thread.
Barkov not master in defence? Only foward who can rival Barkov in induvidual defensive play stats is Bergeron for past 3 seasons. This year Barkov leads most of those stats by good margin.
