Matthews. The Sabres need a center.

 

[tony d]

Close but Matthews.

 

[klozge]

Voted Panarin but I think I'd take Matthews

 

[WilliamNylander]

Voted Matthews and I think I'll take Matthews

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Panarin, simply because my team needs a winger with his playmaking abilities more than we need a center with Matthews' shooting abilities.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Voted Panarin and I think I'll take Panarin.

 

[BlueBaron]

Because the draft ruined Matthews polls per day.....I don't think there are enough votes from Alberta for Panarin to win this one.

 

[780il]

Matthews.

Why wouldn’t it be the guy who has scored PPG over his career while missing only 6 games total the past 4 seasons?

C isn't over W, this time?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Matthews. I'd just slide him over to the wing on Sid's line and watch those two dominate down low.

I never bought into the HF narrative that it always ultimately is. All things bring equal, mostly sure. But not definitively all the time.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

My team just signed Panarin but I would rather have Matthews. Big elite sniping C. Plus he's younger and a good old American boy. We're getting too much Russian meddling at MSG lately.

Canucks don't necessarily even need a Center as much as they need a Winger right now, but i'd still easily take Matthews. He'd be dynamite with Pettersson, whichever of them ends up playing Wing. Panarin is plenty talented, but i think Matthews brings more to the table all-around, and it never hurts to have an overabundance of capable Top-6 Centers as injury insurance and even just for flexibility. So that's where i'd go.

Why there should be any comparison between Matthews vs Panarin? Because of their salary? Matthews is supposed to be in the discussion with super elite players like McDavid, Eichel, etc. who are cornerstone of the franchise. Panarin doesn't belong to that group. Period.

 

[Trocity]

Eichel? Panarin has been better than Eichel every single year.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Panarin is a way better hockey player than Matthews.

that's not fair

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Oilers badly need a right handed shot like Panarin, hence why I voted Panarin.

Don’t need another center.

Maybe you missed Matthews destroying the worlds as McDavid's winger lol. As good as Drai is Matthews would be way better, and somewhere deep down you guys know that.

 

[FourRings]

I'd prefer Matthews for the Islanders. We need a goal scorer in the worst way.

He would not be much better. Its hard to be much better than 50g 100+ pts. That is a hyperbole.

I refuse to believe Matthews production would go up exponentially playing with McDavid. He doesnt become a 65-70g 140pt forward playing with him. And putting up stats like that is the only way Id say he does "much" better.

50g and 100+ points is hard to replicate for even the best players in the world. That is why it hasnt been done in years.

 

[LaMasquerade]

Matthews, he's better and younger, and plays C.
