Eichel has to prove he's better, that's hard to do when Matthews has almost as many goals in 1 season as Eichel has in 2
Ah yes, the most important part of playing defense, scoring goals.

Matthews, he has a superior supporting cast around him, Eichel's isn't bad but it falls off fast he has ROR Okposo and Kane
Matthews has Nylander Marleau, Marner, JVR, Kadri, Bozak Brown, all except Brown scored 50+ points and Brown got 20 goals on the 3rd line.
Eichel doesn't have 5 60+ point guys on his team, 6 50+ point guys, he doesn't have a 3rd line C that scored 30 goals and 60 points, or if you consider Bozak the 3rd line C 18 goals and 55 points.
Eichel doesn't have a 3rd line RW that got 20 goals as a rookie
Matthews will have a better season because Toronto has more offensive options which means a teams focus has to be ore spread out you can't just focus on Matthews and win the game.
Buffalo has much less depth, sure they can load up a good line a run Kane Eichel and Okposo but if they do that they become a 1 line team.
Even if Toronto did load up their top line and went with Nylander Matthews Marner they still have JVR Bozak Marleau and Komarov Kadri Brown to back them up.
If Toonto went JVR Matthews Nylander they'd still have Marleau Bozak Marner, Komarov Kadri Brown to back them up.
Buffalo doesn't have that depth they are much easier to shut down.
Toronto is a 3 line team
Buffalo is 1 line and part of a 2nd line
Matthews will have the better season as long as he's healthy
Is Buffalo still years ahead of the Leafs rebuild is the bigger question.
How many times are we gonna do this??
Eichel
Well. Two of the women look like they're young enough to be going to prom, and the third looks rather plain to me. That's just my opinion of course, everyone has their own tastes.
Karlsson, on the other hand, makes me question my own interests. Handsome fellah.
Matthews one season has been better than either of Eichel's seasons not to mention that Eichel only has 8 more goals than Matthews in 60 more games. Easy answer...it's Matthews.
This. Eichel has to prove he's better than Matthews before anyone claims he is. In 1 season Matthews proved he was better than Eichel in his 2 seasons.
The thing about Matthews that gets me is his 5 on 5 numbers. He was elite and the best in the game. He didn't pad his stats with PP totals. There's so little room to move these days even strength. To be the best goal scorer at E/S at 19 is so impressive.
Wait, Leafs fans actually think Matthews was better than Eichel last season? Lol

Yes he clearly was. And many, many non-Leaf fans would agree.
You're as biased as any Leaf fans you claim is.
Are goals the only thing that matter now? Eichel had 4 more assists than Matthews in 21 less games. He also had a much better PPG ratio?
