2019-2020 Eichel vs 2019-2020 Matthews? Both were on pace for 94 points before the season ended.
Matthews scored more goals, but he also got to play with Marner, Hyman and Nylander (when apart). Plus Tavares on the PP. Eichel was playing with Reinhart, Olofson and Vessey (when apart). Plus Johanson on the PP. It's not exactly surprising that he finished with 28 more points than the second highest point producer on the team.
I don't think it's unfair to say that he was "a Matthews". But neither are McDavid, duh.
