Sry my mistake!As I said contending for the playoffs, which is certainly realistic for the team currently leading the toughest division in the NHL.

What a pain about that 4 goal game. It's almost like Matthews found the cure for cancer. Even Toronto fans aren't continously tooting that horn.He also has no 4 goal game, or incredible highlights like Matthews had either. No top 10 plays for people to go WOW
It seems people on here would be more impressed if the Devils were dead last, Nico was a -15, played no defense and scored at a PPG pace with 10 goals.
edit: oh and a few WOW plays. of course.

0.74 ppg being better than 0.65 ppg is a concept that escapes you, somehow?Haha oh so now the fact Nico plays centre is why he is more impressive hahahahahahahahhahaha
Do you know how many first overall picks in the last 20 seasons have hit 60 points in their first season? Matthews, MacKinnon, Kane, Crosby (and Ovechkin in his draft+1 season that same year), and that's it. McDavid, RNH, and Kovalchuk probably would have if they stayed healthy. That's 5 out of 20 players drafted first overall since 1997 that have topped 60 points, with 3 more on pace but who were injured. 17 forwards have been drafted 1OA in that time. If Hischier gets 60 points, how is that not deserving of attention?he's a 1oA who is projected to hit 60 points while playing with someone projected to hit 90.
is he a great player? absolutely. is his level deserving of the attention most 1OA's get? no.
I think Matthews is better than Gretzky myself imoNico isn't a flashy player. I think he's going to be a great NHL player. Maybe a notch below Matthews.
Keep in mind that Matthews' ceiling is top 5 all time NHL Forward. Behind Lemieux, Gretzky, Jagr, Crosby.
You silly goose, you almost got me.Nico isn't a flashy player. I think he's going to be a great NHL player. Maybe a notch below Matthews.

Statistically speaking, it was bound to happen for him to be sincere at least once in this thread. Surprised he admitted to it so candidly, still.
Come on now... really?
Lets not take it there
Who is your comparable stylistically and caliber wise

Some would say this should create more conversationHe was not a concensus No.1 pick. He plays on a team where there isn't as much media and hype such as the original 6.
I think Elias Pettersson is more deserving of that honour imo
LOL. That’s why he’s not in the NHL. More likely he’s the next Yakupov.Yep, I think Elias is a higher ceiling Gretzky with Grit.
Was being sarcastic. In all seriousness though, he is a tier below Matthews, hence he is not talked as much. Better players tend to get more coverage?LOL. That’s why he’s not in the NHL. More likely he’s the next Yakupov.
