Congrats! hopefully don't take Laine

+Jon Snow He's officially a leaf.

I fricken love you these are some of my favourite vids to watch

another great one! keep them going.

You psychic 🙌

+Inappropriate Comments your profile picture matches that perfectly

ECA thank you

U were wrong it's the 216 draft

+BabcockToToronto you stupid

Wish covid didnt ruin his year cause it could have been the greatest year by a maple leafs all time Rick vaive 54 goals leafs still had 12 games left at the time it ended....life sometimes is not fair

Dagger? He scored the 4th goal in a 4-2 win.

+Sam Gardner yea, the dagger is so its out of reach

I see a lot of Steven Stamkos in his shot, and Alex Ovechkin in his ability to track the puck and know the best possible way he can get a chance at scoring.

Was your friend the one who convinced him to walk around drunk with no pants which eventually ruined his chances at being named the captain he rightfully deserves

@@justinthenickoftime807 shut up nobody asked

Pleaseeee!!!!!

they both suck

+Husky Finn world champs this year, both on respective countries roster.

Monahan is basically the same player

+Inappropriate Comments I feel like matthews is more of a toews/kopitar type of player when on smaller ice.

Scott O Monahan is pretty much Toews..same height, handedness, two way forward. Not saying they're clones but they are kinda similar

Inappropriate Comments i got you. I dont look at monahan too much but i know he's a complete player. Not really the flashy, but he does the little things. I just think matthews is more like the current toews cause of the work ethic, corner battles, body control, offensive and defensive positioning is similar to toews, creating something out of literally nothing. Scoring in different ways and always looking to make teammates better.

Scott O I like to think of Matthews as Sakic or Toews. His shot reminds me of Sakic

+all pro why don't you learn to spell first

+Alfred Vega Not a chance they suck enough to land the #1 pick. No offense to you, but with this year's draft class it seems that the fans of every team (at least the bottom half of the league) want to see their team suck instead of shining so they can get a good pick, and I don't like that mentality if they're actually serious.

AGREED

+Alfred Vega haha

+blake jardine Martin garrix - Animals

+Félix Allard thx bro

Good one

Not Really. Matthews is gonna be so good and bigger in terms of size as well. But the way they play is different. Mcdavid uses more of his speed. Matthews has a great shot. Matthews reminds me more of Stamkos

+Jon Snow yeah I know he has a great shot , probably better then McDavids already , but I don't see Stamkos comparison really. Stamkos is amazing no doubt about it , but I feel Stamkos is dangerous primary because of his shot and rest the rest of his game is ' Good ' ....but not Great. But because he Does possess that ridiculous Shot , he's able to score a shitload of goals. Maybe I'm wrong , but I'd almost guarantee Matthews will be a much more Complete player then Stamkos ..( after a few years naturally ). That's the fun part of getting the first overall pick .... the analysing and debating that is sure to happen. And as a longsuffering Leaf fan I'm really enjoying talking about something of a Positive Nature for a change.. lol. Anyway , I appreciate your thoughts and it'll be fun to see exactly what type player Matthews does become.?? cheers

Yeah I think he's going to be better then Stamkos as well but, in terms of their shots, its already on Stamkos level

Wish granted

bernier is a true #1, if he was in Chicago, he would be as good as Crawford.

+Victoria Dixon You're kidding right?

+KZfaq Sucks yea. I didn't really make it that clear.

+KZfaq Sucks although I do think he will have success in Anaheim.

Alexander Daigle or Patrick Stefan

+Sam Gardner So a real flop?

+Claude Junior Malo He's compared to kopitar or toews.

20 goals 32 points in 36 games... Ya what a bust. Clearly your analysis was spot on. You should apply to work at TSN.

Åsna Tittut Matthews is better than Laine. Laine has a better shot but Matthews does everything else better than Laine especially play defense

I am so sorry 😔

+Mal Comer always the oilers. So many first round picks and yet still last every year in the standings. I don't even mind if other team gets a first round pick for once

Why would that be bad luck if it happened?

+Briblistaloz LOL

+Briblistaloz loooool yea definitely

Any team but the oilers please

+BasePuma4007 Id rather had Puljujarvi

+Blake Y No Tkachuk and Laine are better than Puljujärvi

+That guy who has xbox But he still likes PS Tkachuk sure as hell isn't better than Laine

The shit isn't the shit. The oilers are the shit. Next time make sure you wipe your ass after you take an oiler

Yea..no

Inappropriate Comments laine is better then Matthew and that true

I bet you can't give a good reason

Fast forward 4 years and Austin Mathews is leading the first place leafs to a Stanley cup and Laine is literally warming the bench Columbus only 10 days after being shipped out of Winnipeg

Laine is the Best!

+Åsna Tittut Your comment gave me cancer God your a fucking dumbass lmao.

This aged well...

6'2" 200lbs, amazing wrist shot, can win faceoffs, has amazing defensive awareness, is a leader, had 24 goal in 36 games in a Zurich men's league as a 17 year old, was one goal off of breaking the American record (8) in the world juniors this year and he had the same amount of points as mcdavid did in his world juniors. (eichel only had 4 points)

+trolman777 he got 4 points against the Swiss, and 3 against the Danes. He did little to nothing in the next 5 games

+Sam Gardner he was tied for second in the tournament for scoring

+trolman777 Game 1 v Canada 2pts 1G 1A Game 2 v Sweden 0 points Game 3 v Switzerland 4 points 2 G 2A Game 4 V Denmark 2 points 1G 1A Game 5 v Czech Republic 3 points 3 G Game 6 v Russia 0 points Game 7 v Sweden 0 points. So, what that tells me is, the kid doesn't get up for big games. Outside of the Czech Republic Game (a team that won only 2 games in Group B) in qualifying, he couldn't be asked to do anything special. A large chunk of his points came against the legendary Team Switzerland. Another chunk came against the Danes and a very weak Czech team. The kid wouldn't get up for the Two Sweden games, Russia, and had a secondary assist and garbage goal against the Canadians. Basically Matthews points only came against teams that didn't matter

Sam Gardner I remember watching the Russia game, Matthews was still the best player on the ice he had so many great chances but Ilya Samsonov stood on his head and made like 40 saves. and the game against sweden matthews line generated 2 goals and he was as much apart of their goals as the people who got the points with the defensive plays that lead to the goals
