Thanks for doing exactly what I said you leafs fans love to do, and thanks for getting triggered so hard. I especially loved the big font xD I'm not going to respond to all of your points, mostly because they're just the same old bringing up MacKinnon's seasons from 5 years ago shenanigans that I discussed in my previous post. MacKinnon has missed 8 games in the last 3 seasons. That's almost 30 less than Matthews. I even said he could start removing that label with this full season.So ignorant. I will be the first to say MacK is better right now tho.
Is it not fair to compare them at the same ages? Matthews first four seasons absolutely blows MacK's out of the water. MacK is clearly the better player right now, but Matthews is younger and his body of work at the same ages is much better. Will he be the player MacK is now? Not sure.
Matthews is injury prone? Well I guess MacK is too because hes missed pretty much the same amount of games. MacK has played 82 games in 3 of 6 seasons prior to this one. Even missing time for shoulder injuries.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
And Matthews is awful defensively? You are so misinformed its hilarious, bias is clearly showing. Is this based on a 10 second shift you watched 1 game? Currently Matthews is third in the ENTIRE LEAGUE in takeaways.. even ahead of a defensive player such as ROR.. Matthews has 63 takeaways and 33 giveaways , MacK has 29 takeaways and 44 giveaways.. Yet Mac is clearly the better defensive player right?
On to the contact. Title from NHL.com:
Nathan MacKinnon signs 7-year contract with Avalanche
Forward had 21 goals, 31 assists for Colorado last season
Mack signed his deal coming one of the worst years of his career. 52 points in 72 games, and then followed it up with 53 in 82 games.. So much production. Matthews signed his after 73 points in 68 games while scoring 37 goals (on pace for around 45). Not to mention Matthews had been over 1 PPG (and still is) career wise, and has never scored lower than 34 goals in a season. Mac's career high before signing that deal was 24 goals.. Goals are paid at a premium in this league. If you dont understand the difference in contract scenarios... then lol.
SO much wrong with your post its hilarious.
Thanks for coming out.
If you don't understand the difference in contract scenarios in the context of this thread, then LOL because we both lose our guys after 4/5 years respectively and they're to UFA. And MacKinnon costs half as much. It's just reality. Sorry AM bent your GM over, and sorry the Avs got lucky with their timing.
