Draisaitl > Matthews.....agree? Trying to solve a debate, I’m saying even common sense Leaf fans wouldn’t deny that.
- LeftCoaster


Matthews is better. He's more complete, a centre and the best 5 on 5 goal scorer the NHl has seen since Eric Lindros almost 3 decades ago.

Once Matthews started seeing more TOI (Draisaitl was playing 5 more minutes a night than Matthews regularly, Matthews has been outscoring him.

That Marner quote is worthless. He's a dumbass.
And they are not going to call out their goalies. They'll use the cliched "Leaving goalies out to dry".

Oh ok.

It's pretty impressive what giving someone more ice time can do for their confidence.

When the Leafs don't turn the puck over and they defend well, Freddy gets shutouts.

They're both very, very good players.

Draisatl is 2 years older though... Matthews is probably better than Leon when he was 22.

But yeah, two awesome players.

They're doing NOTHING though.

I get people think Freddy saves the Leafs every win and carries them. No statistical evidence backs this up. The Leafs great offensive firepower pads his win totals despite bad save %

- RogerRoeper


Are you referring to this calendar year only in your assertion that the the Leaf's issues have been goal tending or year over year?

Crazy what happens when the leafs actually try to defend and take care of their own end and freddy has a good night.

This keeps coming up from a whole bunch of fans that just want to try and troll the Leafs with no actually thought put into it.

Matthews is 2 years younger then Draisatl, and if you look at their stats from the comparitive years, Matthews has been better really. Right now, its close, and Draisaitl has put up more points, but Matthews is going to be a better player who doesnt play with the best player on the planet.

Sure but think about the heavy price the Leafs paid to get him.

It will cripple the franchise for years to come.

I’d say they’re on pretty even trajectory right now, Marner had 69 points his second year which is where you’ll probably see Pettersson in his second year. I don’t know if I could choose which one is better but they’re both great players.
