During a heated debate on the OilersNation podcast, both hosts were trying to discuss that Auston Matthews is a better regular season player and Leon Draisaitl is a better playoff player. Both hosts decided to bring in NHL insider and CEO of thedailyfaceoff.com Frank Seravalli to give his take on this discussion.
Seravalli was quick to point out that he would build his team around the best playoff performing player since they would elevate the team when it mattered the most. He went further to discuss another player who is Matthews teammate Mitch Marner in how he could get 95 points a season but not move the needle when it comes to the playoffs and the Leafs hopes.
The evidence is clear, that Draisaitl is by far a better playoff performer then Matthews currently and only time will tell on whether he can turn things around and become the elite player he is when it matters the most.
