That’s not my point.
I’m saying I’d rather have a classic #1 C the likes of Crosby, Mackinnon who can score goals and they know it, but they also make their linemates better and you can plug in a lesser talent on their wing and get production.
Matthew’s is a shoot first C. He’s an elite goal scorer no one is denying that.
Crosby and Mackinnon have also had 50 goal seasons along with 50 plus assists. You know what else they have done? Produce in the playoffs and won cups.
