The track record certainly doesn’t look promising, but you never know I suppose. Thornton and Matthews didn’t/haven’t had the “what if” seasons of missing the playoffs when they were at their peaks at least.

All 3 have been quite underwelming in the playoffs.
Thornton doesn’t have 1 playoff year where he is over a ppg
Stamkos has 1 playoff year where he was over a ppg,that was last year 6 pts in 5 gp
Matthew’s has 2 playoff years where he was over ppg, that was 9 pts in 7 gp and 6 pts in 5 gp.
Factoring in that Matthew’s is the better goal scorer and better defensive centre of the three, I have to begrudgingly go with him.

Stamkos brings nothing to the table out of these 3. As underwhelming as Matthews' goal-scoring is in the playoffs, he at least puts up a ppg and plays good defense. Thornton is clearly better than Stamkos as well but I take Matthews.
