Not trying to offend, but "Superstar" is a little generous for both.Matthews is more active in a 200 foot game, edges Jack in shooting, and beats 90% of players in ability to go to the net and finish.
Jack has the super-speed gear, and is a dynamic play-maker.
Superstar centers of 2 rivals, but very dis-similar in why they're superstars. I think overall they're even, but not really comparable because of the style differences.
As for Eichel vs Matthews...
Matthews is NOT the same player after his injuries. He plays afraid. During the regular season, he does have moments of brilliance. And, of course, he has his shot- which is other worldly.
However, during the playoffs, when the hitting starts, he runs and hides - he has 1 goal in the last 9 playoff games.
I think (I haven't seen enough Eichel) Eichel has more heart. Add his talent and leadership and I'd prefer that.
