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.

Matthews must be pretty good to be compared to generational players no? He hasn't been able to elevate himself in the playoffs for sure to but be fair if you replaced him with Crosby or MacKinnon I don't think either of them could carry that Leafs roster to a cup. It's a bottom 15 roster that happens to have four really good forwards. Good enough to have regular season success but exposed in the post season for being what they are.
