[Wyshynski] Matthew Knies asked how good Auston Matthews is. “Pretty damn good. He’s not just the best goal scorer in the NHL but he plays defense too. He’s kind of the best overall player [in the NHL] in my eyes.”

Shhhh, other fan bases don’t know he plays defense yet.
Toronto Sun: Knies and Matthews hanging up on Marner for not playing defence
Lol I know one fanbase out west that will be fuming right now hearing this!!!!
The Kid knows it 👏🏻
He’s getting cooked online by everyone not a Leafs fan for saying this but we know it’s objectively true.
For all of McD’s speed, he can’t play defence. And Drai doesn’t even know what goes on below his own blue line. Don’t even get me started about Nathan “waits at the centre line” MacKinnon lol
Me too! Had no idea I have so much in common with Knies, lol
I don’t put Matthews above McJesus but, there is an argument to be made for second best due to his goal scoring ability couples with his fantastic two way game. His defensive responsibility is why is put AM34 above players like Drai and McK. It’s a tight race for 2nd place but I think Matthews is the forerunner
Why would knies ask that? Doesn’t he play with matthews?
