This I have to think about more but I tend to agree with. I think Matthews fills the net better then jack but Jack is a more complete player.. But Man Matthew can score some goals...
- hehateme

jack is a morph of matthews and mcdavid IMO


mattews is by far the best goal scorer
mcdavid has the best vision and speed


eichel is probably the second best skater, shooter and has the second best ice vision of the 3


I think jack has grown more this season, the others may have peaked already in their game



it's splitting hairs when ranking the 3 and today I know how I would rank them

of course that could change and the jack I see this year, has shrunk the gap quite a bit



if the sabres make the playoffs and advance, I would probably change the ranking in my head next season, as I am an open minded person

Matthews will be in the same convo as Ovechkin when he finishes his career minus the physical game Ovi plays with. But I can tell you that I have never seen Matthews set anyone up like I saw Eichel set up Skinner twice on Sunday. I have seen Eichel score highlight reel goals like a matthews.

... Wouldn't that make him second best by your own criteria?

I want in on this. I'll take one year of Olli over any number years of clink, clank, skunk, MathMcJesus, PastaMitch, JT, OT, PT, or any other T's for that matter. If it Larsson though, I'm gonna need two years of Olli.

Agreed. My one quick take on this: pretty sure jack will put up more than 2 points in a 7 game playoff series. Pretty sure.

I repeat:

4 points separate super hockey god McDavid from Jack "debatably better than Mitch Marner" Eichel

Canadian media bias is real

Matthews missing half the season to this point and the Leafs have won more games in their Franchise history to this point.

Take Eichel of this years team for half of the games and we are 6 points out of a playoff spot.

after saying all of this

once matthews signs for 13 or so million per year

jack will be the best value of the 3 in a cap era


but of course that logic would also include a skunk having value right now

part of that is the leafs had JT fall into their lap


it scares me what Jack could become with a decent second line center


ror was brought here 3 years too early

If Jack plays like this the rest of the life of his contract, Oh hell yeah it will be the best value out of the three....

Probably more than that... we have one line... take jack away there is nobody filling in that spot.
