by comparing him to John TavaresQuick question, how do you over rate a 19 year old that scores 4 goals in his 1st ever game, and scores 40 in his rookie year?

Tavares at 19: 24g/54 pts
Tavares at 20: 29g/67 pts
Tavares at 26: 28g/66pts
vs
Matthews at 19: 40g/69pts
Matthews is already better. If Tavares was putting up 75-80+ pts every single year, you could make the case he is better.
Depends on the situation.Ok, lets see if that can be proven....hypothetical question to you, if you had the choice right now, who do you choose, Matthews or Tavares?
Easy by saying:
he's a generational talent
he's equal to Malkin right now
he's better than McDavid and/or Crosby
Hasn't been said in this thread but I've read all those 3 claims in other threads.Alrighty...i just skimmed the whole thread...
1. One guy said generational...the rest of us refuted that.
2. Nobody said that.
3. Absolutely nobody said that.
So it seems the only thing being over rated is your imagination.

This is what sucks ass about having a discussion on these forums. 70% of posters are punching ethereal strawmen

I'm on my phone rn but I remember RCS clearly saying Matthews is already better than McDavidPlease, i implore you to find me a post in which a Leafs fans stated Matthews is a better player than McDavid...not better contract...or better age....or will become....but better player.

Guy asked why player was overrated. When provided reasons it's either "NUH HUH THAT WASNT SAID1" or "NUH HUH STRAWMEN"

Depends on the situation.
For just one year cup run, Tavares
Starting from scratch franchise, Matthews
I think everyone would say that.
Also Tavares is still 26 and has lots in the tank. He's a proven elite NHL talent.
Pizza can be eaten the next day whereas nuked wings are nastyI think pizza can play in all situations, but Chicken Wings has far better reach.

I can find equally ridiculous things said by literally every fanbase. Picking out a few fans and using that as a basis for hate seems to suggest you already had the intention to do so, and were simply looking for something to support that view.
Please, stop with this victim complex.
When you say ridiculous statements, be prepared to deal with it.
Also, to the guy who keeps asking for proof, you go scour the guy I'm quoting and you'll find the Matthews = Malkin posts.
RCS was the guy who said Matthews > McDavid
And Kammicolo again with the Is Matthews Generational or potential thread.
Now before you go off and say "oh he's just a hater", I have said, repeatedly, that Matthews is a good player. He's not on the level of McDavid and is getting a bit overrated by various posters and media outlets.
