Seguin is in his prime for those next 3 years. If he plays in them the way he is playing this year then he is easily the choice here. Leafs fans will overwhelm this vote for Matthews though and it likely won't end up close due to the amount of them on here. Long term? Matthews probably. For the next 3 years? Seguin easily. I also don't trust Matthews to stay healthy

I'll take the guy who has four goals in six playoff games and not seven in 49.

Matthews isn't better at all lol. Seguin is playing lights out this season and his 2-way game is considerably better. You guys need to chill with Matthews lol you'd try to make an argument that he is better than Crosby too after 1 and a half seasons

3 seasons makes it close for Seguin. If Matthews is anywhere near the beast he was last season in the playoffs especially if the Leafs end up beating someone like the Bruins and Matthews edges out Bergeron then you could realistically make a case for him
I was very big on Seguin the past few years and kept waiting/expecting him to take the next big step. Like Kane did 2 years ago. Or Benn. Or Mackinnon this year. I feel he hasn't, and i've now become underwhelmed by him. I thought he would for sure be blowing the scoring race wide open, winning a ross or coming really close, but he hasn't and isn't close.
I'd pick Matthews.

Seguin is playing by far the best hockey of his career this year, and especially right now. Safe to say he has taken that next step into becoming one of the best two-way centers in the game.
Okay maybe. I don't watch Dallas games. I also honestly could care less about two way play. He's a center, and an offensive oriented one, and I find his offensive output very underwhelming (especially this season with so many forwards scoring so much, I would have expected him to be one of those).
I pick Matthews based on that

Seguin is a fantastic player but Matthews is on the cusp of entering his prime — has got to be him.

They literally have the same PPG with Seguin having larger sample-size. If you couldn't care less (still amazes me how often native speakers get the phrase wrong) about two way play, what's the rationale of picking Matthews first?

He's all about points and Matthews. He doesn't realize that players change and develop to grow their 2-way game, and that a 2-way center in today's game is almost crucial to success. (Exception: Crosby/Malkin). Even if Seguin had a higher points output he'd still pick Matthews.

True, but so has Matthews. He has a slightly higher PPG despite only having 7 powerplay points (Seguin has 19), which bodes well for him going forward. He's also got Seguin beat in gf% and xgf% leading me to believe he's better defensively. Finally, he's a sophomore who's been plagued by injury this season so it's more likely for him to improve on his play going into next year and moving forward than Seguin

Matthews doesn't play between Benn and Radulov... also good for Seguin for finally sorting out his 2 way game, took Matthews a few games... Oh has Seguin scored 40 goals?

I'm sure that statistic isn't at all affected by the fact Seguin's team went all the way to the SCF while he was a rookie playing 4th line minutes.

No but if he spent more time right in front of the net like Matthews deflecting pucks or tapping them into a basically empty net I'm sure he would. He's more of a shooter from distance. Benn/Radulov deal with the loose pucks down low. Come back when Matthews kills penalties. Until then his 2-way game isn't on the same level

no, but that's a coaching choice more than an indication of ability. Talk about misleading
