So idk why so many people want to call Matthews better than Eichel. It literally makes no sense.
In their Careers: They have NEARLY IDENTICAL stat lines:
PPG of .95 for Eichel and 1.01 for Matthews
PS (Point share) of 37 for both of them (meaning that they are equal in terms of their offensive and defensive production
They are nearly equal defensively and possesnion wise (similar Blocks/82 games . Takeaways/82 and Giveaways/82)
The only differences are:
1. Eichel is more physical and tough (More hits/82 and he has had more fights though not by much)
2. Eichel is on the FAR worse team. His linemates arent players like Mitch Marner, he isnt playing in from of goalies like Freddy Anderson, he doesnt have Morgan Reilly, Jake Muzzin, Tyson Barrie, etc behind him . He had (the god, but not really) Zach Bogooooo, Ristolianen (who is overrated sorry Sabres fans), and a bunch of other nobodys.
Matthews is NOT better. If anything Eichel is better, NOT BY MUCH, but a bit
I hold no horse in this race, I hate both teams. Im just a realist
Calm down, man. The comment was a joke. I do believe Matthews is better but I was replying to your organized, point by point, post (which I did read btw) with a comment of no real substance as a joke.
Good. I was tryna tag you when you first commented and I messed up and tagged the other guy lol
Its just that there are too many crazy people that just wont read. Matthews isnt better, but if someone wants to professionally and kindly have a discussion with me about why Eichel isnt necessarily better im always open

For me, it's about what I value. Goals and 5v5 production. Matthews excels in both of those areas.
