If you wouldn’t take Mcdavid over matthews because of contract length, I’d call you crazy.

You know you can resign players, right? It doesn’t mean you **only** get 3 years of Mcdavid. And even if you did, for those 3 years you have a better chance to win than with matthews.
I should have added that in this scenario, Matthews is 21 and McDavid is 26.

Yeah, you might be able to re-sign 29 year old McDavid at UFA rate, but is 29-34 year old McDavid going to be better than 24-29 year old Matthews? Nevermind the huge cap differences.

That’s the goal here, not trying to win in 20 years
Holy hyperbole batman

not trying to stay middle of the pack or flexible,
Are you saying that by taking Matthews over McDavid, you are settling for middle of the pack?

the goal is to win and you win hockey games now, not hypothetical future seasons.

I agree, how many teams have won the cup with a player taking up as much of the cap as Matthews will? If memory serves, Vegas was the first team to win a cup with a player who had a double digit millions cap hit.

This thread is about Auston Matthews lol

Good attempt at victimhood tho
Oh no victim here. I find my own trouble. But, the leafs are also my team. So not weird to find me in the leaf threads. What im not in, is every single Hab or Sen thread. Know why? Because it’s not my team, and I don’t care how they do.

‘I don’t care about the leafs, but they’re not as good as they think they are and they overpay their not so good stars’ - non leaf fans commenting in every leaf thread possible.

Best part, neither has Montreal, or Edmonton.

Some mighty fine hairs being split though. The irony is the entire premise of this bait thread, (started by an Oiler fan) was that Depth + cap space > the better player.

Which is ironic given the Oilers haven’t had depth in the Mcdavid era, forcing him to play 25-30 minutes a night to win lol. I’m sure he’d rather Matthews and cap space over mcdavid though

So this thread should be opened only to Leafs and Sens fans?
What are you saying here?

Plus, Habs fans probably have the best opinion here, since we hate both of your stoopid teams.
We don't have a horse in that race

Yeah that’s an excellent point. The rivalry that is Montreal vs ottawa is second to none. Even playing field there for sure. Thanks for pointing that out.

They're Mickey Mouse franchise are 3rd on our shitlist after the Ruins and your clown show of a team

Is it because Matthews ain't winning the poll? Is that it?

There's nothing controversial about the fact that while Matthews is the better player for sure, Stützle's contract is simply way to good for another team to pass on. In 7 or 8 years, Stützle's contract will be one of the best in the league, unless Tim crash and burn.

Matthews is a top 10 player in the league but it's freakin' 5M more per year, you can add a solid player for that money. And in 4 years, you don't know what will happens with Matthews.

Is Matthews better than Stützle? Yeah, for sure.
Is Matthews so much better than Stützle that he deserves 5 freakin' millions more? Hell no

Again, nobody, and I mean nobody, is forcing you to read the thread and participate. Instead, you feel the need to share your sad premade meme about how Hfboards hates the Leafs while doing the whole victim complex routine.

Maybe you should click the ignore thread and stick to the Leafs board if only Leafs fans can talk about your team. It’s hilarious that before this thread your last posts were on….Habs threads. Yeah, keep preaching, hypocrite.

It seems like you don’t know how a public forum works.

BTW genius, Matthews earns more than McDavid going forward. Nobody would take the inferior player who makes more.

My friend is a Sens' fan, so I guess I can post in this thread as long as I use his laptop/cell to do so.

Alot of people are overlooking the fact that Stutzle has EIGHT years left at this already amazing AAV. Matthews has 5 years left. What's going to be Matthews' AAV for Stutzle's final 3 years? $15m?
