Into upcoming season, would you rather have Matthews or MacKinnon on your team?

Assume that your focus is to go as deep as possible in the playoffs next year, not rebuild or long-term. Which player would you rather have on your team? Which of the two will give you a better chance of bringing home the Cup?

I believe it is a very close choice. I predict the voting will be no more than 60/40 either way.

MacKinnon is half the cap hit, incomparably superior in the playoffs to this point, and just plainly the far better hockey player. Closer to McDavid than Matthews.

Thank you. We'll see how the voting unfolds. I thought it would be close but maybe not.

With cap: MacKinnon
Without cap: McDavid

Even if their salaries were equal, I'd easily take MacKinnon.

I think it’s a very close choice but there is also a clear winner if that makes sense.

Matthews. Best goal scorer in the league.

 

[Habano]

Obviously MacKinnon, this won't be close lol

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

MacKinnon, he's really going to have a chip on his shoulder

You don't actually believe that do you?

 

[McAsuno]

MacKinnon AINEC

 

[Bouboumaster]

Would be ok with both lol

Matthews would fit well AF in Montreal too

But it's Mackinnon, it got to be.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

MacKinnon. He’s got a winners attitude.

Pick Matthews if you want to watch “fashionable” walk-ins.

I don't think there are enough Leafs fans on this board to make it that close.

Lopsided

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

If we’re not taking contracts into consideration I’m taking the younger player who had the better season this year.

If we are I’m taking the player who makes about half as much and shouldn’t be far behind if at all next year.
