My vote goes to Tavares, although Bergeron is in the conversation. Matthews will get there but I'm not comfortable putting him in my top 5 just yet.

 

[DatSnipeMatthews]

How is Toews even listed?

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Stamkos, Tavares, Bergeron, Kopitar, Backstrom, Getzlaf, and Seguin to make the top 10.

Scheifele, Mackinnon, Matthews, Eichel, and Barkov next.

 

[Peter Tagli Eddie]

Why are people voting for Matthews?!?

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Why are people voting for Matthews?!?

Forget the fact that he's a Leaf, the kid is a stud

Great defensively, and dominant offensively. If he didn't miss 10 games his numbers would look a lot better as well considering the time it took him to adjust and re-adjust

Why are people voting for Matthews?!?

Because he's in the convo. I voted Kopitar in the top 3, I voted Matthews this time. He's a stud, deal with it.

 

[Duckhugs]

Picked Nathan here.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Have a feeling that Bergeron is going to be runner-up in about 4/5 more polls. A huge percentage of people just don't put weight into defensive play.

 

[Snippit]

Because he's in the convo. I voted Kopitar in the top 3, I voted Matthews this time. He's a stud, deal with it.

Make an argument for Matthews currently being better than Tavares, Bergeron, Getzlaf, Mackinnon...for starters

Just would like to hear it.

 

[McCullogh]

Was close between Bergeron and Tavares for me. Voted Bergy.
Also really like the way Mackinnon is shining and playing now.

 

[Pay Carl]

Bergeron
Tavares
Stamkos
Kopitar

 

[Captain Bowie]

Right now, I say MacKinnon.

17 centers have better PPG than Matthews and Matthews has really unsustainable offensive stats. He has been really lucky and still 18th in ppg. Dominant? Cmon. Someday he might be top 5 center. Atm maybe top 10 and even thats debatable.

He's not even a PPG player and his defense is not Selke-level. How does that qualify a player as the fourth best center in the NHL?

He's a great center, no doubt, but no better than Tavares, Begeron, Stamkos, etc.

 

[Striiker]

Oops...

Voted Couturier because I misread as "Who is the 4th line centre"

 

[Ctrain2k]

How the heck does Matthews have 12 votes?

 

[LeafsNation75]

Auston Matthews gets my vote.

Auston Matthews gets my vote.

Gotta love that timing.

 

[Spartachat]

How is Toews even listed?

I know. The guy is clearly in the top 3.

 

[snipes]

Bergeron and Tavares in some order round out the top 5 for me.

 

[Hugh Mungus]

This has to be the #2 scorer in the league

 

[stl76]

Bergeron and Tavares in some order round out the top 5 for me.

Same. Voted Tavares, and Bergeron next IMO. Maybe Stamkos after that?

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Nostrils isn't even top 10 yet gets his usual homer votes.

 

[snipes]

Same. Voted Tavares, and Bergeron next IMO. Maybe Stamkos after that?

Yeah Stamkos, MacKinnon, and after that Matthews/Barkov/Getzlaf/Kopitar finalize the top 10 with one of them on the outside of the top 10
