I think Matthews over a few of the centres is a little nuts. Given the choice, I take Kopitar and Scheifele over him this season for sure. Great player, probably top 20. But 8th?
Definitely at opinion from someone out of any regular Leafs television coverage. You must be happy you are psychicDefinitely about 10 places too high for Matthews.
I remember last year a lot of people used the argument that Matthews was not a PPG player against him, so at least with him doing that last season it's one less argument to put away.okay, done last season
I quite like slide shows and much prefer them over lists.Better than slide shows.
But if it is right now, it's hard argue that Mackinnon isn't better than Matthews after last season. Right now with Matthews it is all about goals, ES points and pace. Yes Mack just broke out though but Matthews hasn't even broke 70pts and yet you would rank him at 8 ? And IMO Mack is clearly too high I wouldn't mind seeing Mack out of that top 10 after only one good season because I couldn't care less about TSN ranking my player since I firmly believe that he will establish himself as a top 10 player next season.Look if you just want to compare Matthews to MacKinnon I don't agree with saying MacKinnon is the better player considering his 5th season was the first time he played up to his hype and potential of being a 1st overall pick, since Matthews first 2 seasons was better than his.
Huh? Who’s complaining about him at 8? That’s his correct spot.
I’m not sure how you can put Ovechkin below Matthews.
Like I said before look at TSN's ranking of Phil Kessel on this list when he played for the Maple Leafs, so they didn't rank him any higher because of that. Plus why would they have dropped Tavares three spots from #13 last year to #16 this year?Can AM supplant them this year ... he could, but lets get real here. TSN went a little homer here don't ya think ?
20 players were over PPG (82) last season, how do you fit 70 point players into the top ten?

He was last season bro...
clearly you don't understand what points per game meansIt doesn't work that way. A point per game in one season is 82. Hence 82 games in a season. PPG pace is not a PPG player over a one season.
Matthews still managed 63 points in 62 games played. In my opinion and in the minds of Leafs fans it means he was a PPG player. There is no rule saying to achieve that a player must play all 82 games.It doesn't work that way. A point per game in one season is 82. Hence 82 games in a season.

Give me a break he missed 20 games. You guys know what I meant. He still isn't better than Malkin, Ovechkin or Bergeron or Barkov.
Why use facts when you can use your feelings as facts.Trust me man, I don't drink the blue koolaid, but PPG means that exactly...

Points per game, often abbreviated PPG, is the average number of points scored by a player per game played in a sport, over the course of a series of games, a whole season, or a career. It is calculated by dividing the total number of points by number of games.It means he was on a PPG pace over 62 games. He could have easily had 2 pts in his next 7 games as he did in the playoffs. Prorating is not the same as saying a player is a PPG over a full season.
