Even leaving aside the obvious small sample caveat, Matthews has started all three of his NHL seasons en fuego, so I wouldn't give too much credence to three games. That said, given that he'll be facing easier match-ups on average than last season; that he'll be getting about 50% more PP time with substantially better personnel around him; that, development wise, he's still on an upward trajectory towards his peak seasons; and that he was already over a PPG last season despite that average being dragged down by playing injured / adjusting after a long injury layoff ... it's not ridiculous to think that he could score in the 90-100 point range and compete for the Art Ross. I still think he's a huge dog to McDavid, because some of the same qualifications above also apply to McDavid and because CMac is just head and shoulders better than everyone else in the league. But I'll grant that if things break right, it's not inconceivable that he could win it.
