qwksndmonster Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Bwahahahaha Eichel never finished college, though. And McDavid didn't finish High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Matthews has a ton of character. He took full blame for the loss after the game, and looked very upset. He had just scored four goals in his first ever game.Any fan would be proud to have a prime Matthews as captain of their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Most pundits thought Matthews was better than Eichel. He certainly looked in a different league last night. Leafs will be much improved this year as will the Oilers McKenzie said Matthews would have been the consensus 3rd pick had he been in the draft the year earlier. I went and looked at Matthews stats last year and previously and he is basically a Ovie/Stamkos type player. I'd compare McDavid to Crosby with his speed, vision and ability to score but set up teammates. Eichel is kind of in the middle. Mike Modano type. A guy who pots more goals early, but as he spends time in the league he'll become an even better distributor. If I had to compare Eichel to a current player, Toews? He already had more assists than goals last year. I think it's the exact opposite. As far as pure playmakers, McDavid and maybe Matthews are better Mcdavid, certainly. Matthews is not a better playmaker than Eichel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
