It's expected that pure snipers will score more goals than they accumulate assists. Matthews added only 38 assists to 69 goals this season as that's what happens when two linemates are frequently feeding the shooter on the line. The argument will always be if he makes his linemates better when he's not scoring but clearly he does when he is scoring as they are collecting a lot of primary and secondary assists.
