Eichel is signed longer, at a more team friendly deal that doesnt take him right into his first year of UFA. He also is the same calibre of player as Matthews.
If Eichel switched places with the Matthews their production would be pretty much the same playing on a PP with Reilly, Tavares and Marner among others instead of playing with guys like Jeff Skinner (solid player but not Tavares or Marner or Reilly) or Sam Reinhart.
Extremely similar calibre players but one os on a much better deal, this is an easy one
They all have pretty much the least amount of powerplay points of all the top players. They get the least amount of opportunities in the league, usually play roughly half the powerplay and it's also been mostly horrible since the first month of the season. Eichel plays more, mostly with better ES linemates and has more powerplay points but once again less points and points per game. Matthews is and always has been better. Let's throw the contract in this poll though so everyone has a reason to vote for Eichel.
