I can't wait until he bails to Arizona when his contract is up. Leaf tears are the best tears. You think Islander fans were rough on JT? Ain't seen nothing yet.

Would be a bad move on his part IMO. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be a bad move on his part IMO. I agree, but I thought this ever since he signed his last deal to just take him right to UFA. Maybe he did fall in love with Toronto and will stay. But at that time, it really seemed like Arizona was in his plans. Of course, I'm just really hoping it happens here, as nothing is more fun than watching Leaf fans suffer.

Gniwder 168 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Goal scoring rate since 2016-17 (the year Matthews entered the league) Matthews: 0.5981 Ovechkin: 0.5742 Pastranak: 0.5132 Kucherov: 0.5032 McDavid: 0.4944 Draisaitl: 0.4794 Marchand: 0.4712 Crosby: 0.4471 Tavares: 0.4369 Bergeron: 0.4236 If Matthews just maintains his current pace (it seems to be increasing) and there are no major man games lost or work stoppages, he will pass Grets at age 37 and eclipse 1000 goals by age 40 Edited May 7, 2021 by Gniwder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After 1986-87, Gretzky was scoring at over a 1.0 GPG clip. People could have predicted 1000 goals by 31 years of age. He retired at 38 with 894.

To be fair Matthews is nowhere near Ovi's rate in his first 5 seasons which was 0.67. Not sure Matthews will have the incredible health and longevity of Ovi either.

GMRwings1983 8,737 Report post Posted May 10, 2021 Gretzky's goal scoring was never the same after his injury in the early 90's. Yes, the game changed, but not until 1997 or 1998. At his former pace before the injury, he would have feasted on the high scoring seasons of the early to mid 90's. He still led the league in points during the decade, but the goal scoring suffered.
