I see the article more about the Leafs being a better team than the Oilers, rather than Matthews is better than McDavid. Yost said ‘splitting hairs’, which I took as McDavid alone is not going to beat out Matthews and company.
Hard to argue. Here’s hoping Smith looks like he did on Saturday afternoon. That and the whole team playing 60 minutes. We can beat any team in the league. Unfortunately we can also lose to every team. Let’s see the Oilers take some money off of the board tonight. Guarantee #97 has a good night out in Vegas pinned up for the boys.

In my opinion, the Leafs and Oilers are different by about 1 player. The Leafs to date haven't sold off any young forwards to address their need which is defense. They have lots of offensive forwards that can score a lot but their defense still sucks. On nights they can't outscore their problems, they lose. They have enough scoring that can get them in the playoffs. But when playoffs come where the ref put away the whistles, scoring goes down and the hockey gets tougher, the LEafs don't win. I have very little doubt that the Leafs will make the playoffs but I have my doubt they will go far again.
THe Oilers jumped the gun and sold off Hall to try to improve the defense. IT worked to a degree but they didn't have enough scoring in the system to replace Hall to any extent. If the Hall trade doesn't happen, the Oilers big 4 would be McDavid, Leon, Nuge, Hall. Compared to the Leafs Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander. I'd take the Oilers big 4.

If Hall is your one player difference, then I’d argue we are in today’s reality, two legitimate top 6 forwards away from the leafs. Yamamoto looks good, he is still young and if I could I’d replace Neal and relegate him to third line top PP duty.
Our blue lines are both substandard, but I have a lot of time for Morgan Reilly despite his warts. Marincin is a turd.
