Proposal: Nate McKinnon for Auston Matthews

[glucker]

And now you're deciding what my opinion is for the exact same reason I just mentioned.

You really want to prove me right that badly?

Seems to me you’re just here to antagonize... there’s a word for that.

Says the guy I wasn't even talking to, then came at me telling me what my opinion was to try to get me to argue about what you wanted with you.

Yes, there is a word for that. Maybe don't throw stones in glass houses

 

[Nylanderthal]

The islander do have a youngster better than Matthews too!

Laughable

 

[blundluntman]

Avs fan saying no. Mostly for contract reasons but I also really like the chemistry Mackinnon and Rants have going, wouldn't wanna mess with that.

 

[Drytoast]

Oh hell no.

 

[LoovTrain]

Leafs hang up, laugh, buy the Avalanche and fold the team.

Excellent, and last season Matthews outscored Mak by 16 in his rookie season.

And that season, the Leafs scored 250 goals, the Avs scored 165. I wonder if that contributed at all to their individual point totals...

Sorry, the Avs can't hear you because our two post-1967 Stanley Cup rings are blocking our ears.

Good thing Quebec built you a good team.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Avs get hosed

Matthews + marner for mackinnon

This is just stupidity in the other direction.

And? Do you have anything else other than "look at his ES goal scoring"?

He paced for 5-6 more goals and only 14 less points, with significantly less ice time and power play opportunity playing a better two way game. He's also 2 years younger. I'd be surprised if he's not better than Mackinnon within two years, seeing the superior track record in the NHL.

 

[GHJimmy]

Mackinnon is better than Mathews by so many miles!

 

[Maplebeasts]

Sorry, the Avs can't hear you because our two post-1967 Stanley Cup rings are blocking our ears.

We'll have one or two of our own coming up. But yes, celebrate the cups that happened a long time ago from a team that wasn't even built in your city

 

[Maplebeasts]

And that season, the Leafs scored 250 goals, the Avs scored 165. I wonder if that contributed at all to their individual point totals...

And Matthews was injured this season and played a significant part of the season injured. He also played much less. Funny how that doesn't matter though eh?

So he's gonna get considerably better because you said so. K.

 

[Maplebeasts]

So he's gonna get considerably better because you said so. K.

Because he's an elite talent who's 20. Of course he's gonna get better. If you're going to be knowingly obtuse don't waste my time with this.

 

[wabagee]

Laughable

Why’s it laughable, he was a lot better than a weak Matthews this year?

 

[The Assclown]

So he's gonna get considerably better because you said so. K.

It took Mack five years to reach those levels.

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Good thing Quebec built you a good team.

How many games did Roy Blake Hejduk Tanguay Drury etc play for the Nords again?

 

[Echo Roku]

Because he's an elite talent who's 20. Of course he's gonna get better. If you're going to be knowingly obtuse don't waste my time with this.

"Of course he is"

What year did Crosby have his season statistically?

It took Mack five years to reach those levels.

Means quite literally nothing to his situation

 

[Maplebeasts]

"Of course he is"

What year did Crosby have his season statistically?

Means quite literally nothing to his situation

What years did most other superstars peak? Crosby's the exception not the rule

 

[McSuper]

To Colorado

Auston Matthews

To Leafs

Nate MacKinnon

no agenda, don't care if it happens, not invested, it's August let's have some fun.

Avs hang up . Not because there much that separates the 2 players but MacKinnon contract is ridiculously good and Matthews will be 10 million plus

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

It took Mack five years to reach those levels.

It took the Avs a few years to get him linemates who can keep up with him. Or do you think the corpse of Iginla is somehow comparable to Nylander?

 

[Echo Roku]

What years did most other superstars peak? Crosby's the exception not the rule

You said "of course he will"

For all we know, he's reached his ceiling and could consistently be that level.

Optimism is not an argument. Development is not linear, and assuming they will improve more is shortsighted

 

[McSuper]

Matthew's is a more complete player.
Mackinnon faceoff % at 42%...that's ugly

Matthews has not out scored Draisaitl yet some TML fans consider him on McDavid's level and many say they would not trade Matthews for McDavid . This is going to get ugly

 

[ottawa]

Matthews has the ability to be a 110-120 point player in a single season.

Yeah...maybe he should focus on hitting 70 points first.
