Sure, while at the same time saying that Matthews is far better defensively, which is just not even close to the truth.
Care to quote me on that?

Ahh, I misread.
Does he have to be well above PPG to be better though? What about just over PPG with far superior defense?
Wow, I'm so incredibly shocked that you of all people would think this! I'm thinking of calling the news!This is obviously Matthews. Can't see Scheifele being anywhere near him during their careers.
Are you asking if a 24 year old Schiefele with five years of NHL experience is better than a 20 year old Matthews in his sophomore season I think most reasonable people would say Schiefele.
That said, Matthews put up 68 points and 40 goals as a 19 year old rookie when Schiefele couldn't even make his team at the same age. Long term this is Matthews AINEC
..I'm still waiting for you to quote me on that..
He did?
Pretty sure Matthews had some Selke votes last year, or are they just "homer" votes?Matthews is not a selke caliber player, 'oh but eliiot Friedman'
quite frankly I don't care about what some Homer analyst says, if Matthews was a selke caliber player right now he'd be the first of his kind not killing penalties, Babcock must be insane.
Scheifele is over a PPG right now, if they won't be close what will Matthews be 2 PPG player?This is obviously Matthews. Can't see Scheifele being anywhere near him during their careers.

No, he didn't. I asked in what hypothetical scenario could Matthews be considered better than Scheifele..
As has been said by me many times in this thread already:
Rookies and sophomores are rarely ever asked to kill penalties, regardless of how good they are defensively.
Just look at Schiefele's stats his first 3-4 seasons, Maurice wasn't sending him out there to kill penalties...
So Matthews will be a 100+points player?lolThis is obviously Matthews. Can't see Scheifele being anywhere near him during their careers.

Also the killing penalty's thing, how many 20 year olds kill penalty's? And why would Babcock use him for penalty's when the Leafs PK is already very good?
Right, because 20 year olds who are immensely talented offensively are quite often put on the PK aren't they?
if he's as good defensively as some leafs fans are saying his age shouldn't matter, horvats been on the PK since he was 19 and before you say the canucks didnt have anyone else to put, they had the second best pk in horvats rookie season, bottom line is if you have a selke caliber player he should be killing penalties, its not rocket scienceAs has been said by me many times in this thread already:

I like how people in Winnipeg have finally come to understand Matthews > Laine to the point where its not worth debating, so now they have passed the torch to Scheifele.
Patrick Kane has gotten selke votes tooPretty sure Matthews had some Selke votes last year, or are they just "homer" votes?
