Interesting. But last year scouts thought Matthews was around the same talent level as Eichel and that he would've gone 2nd or 3rd last year.
And now Matthews is doing well in a pro league in Europe which very few draft eligible guys do. Think I remember hearing an interview where somebody said he's the best player in the entire Swiss league. Not sure it's a huge knock on Matthews in particular.
Their point about comparing guys in junior who are in their 3rd years vs 2nd years is very interesting and relevant though.
