Matthews just had the best goal scoring season out of both their entire careers so far with 60 in 73 and 51 in a 50 game span which even Ovi has never done. Time will tell for all-time but as of now, his prime is arguably better. If Matthews gets 60+ next season then there'll be no debate for prime vs prime.

Auston Matthews is a great player and you couldn't ask for a more memorable first time. The first time I watched a hockey game I couldn't believe it was real and then I got hooked because most NHL players and hockey in general are Canadians and always have been. I was into Canada before I even knew what hockey was. My big push was their incredible music scene. Then there's all the really impressive cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal. It's a gem of a country and Auston's a gem of a player.
