No I'm pretty serious either one of them can go first overall and it's not really a big loss They are both really good players The only reason why Matthews probably has a little lead is because he's a center but I think it's head to head right now

I'll give you 100 doll hairs if Toronto doesn't select Matthews first overall

this is painful


bills have not made the playoffs in forever, and the kid says we don't need a future HOF wr who has missed 5 games in his career

- homiedclown

He has ankle and knee problems that's why

It's head to head right now the only thing leading Matthews right now is him being the center and I believe it's by a small margin

He's not that good anymore. Woods is better than White right now.

if he catches 35 balls for 450 yards and teaches watkins how to be a winner, it's a good thing IMO

Not sure of the difference in the leagues they played in, but Matthews had a much more impressive year. Their difference in the Worlds is 3 points (11 vs 8), so they're fairly even. On top of that, Matthews put up the 2 goals today in a clutch playoff game, Laine got 0 points.

We're trying to make the playoffs I would rather sign a player that plays at 100 % Then guy at 50% dealing with injuries all year . I need someone that could step up if Sammy Watkins is injured he's not the player used to be his ankles and knees are killing him ..

Laine already made History for the tournament leads in points assists , goals , shots on goal etc and that category is usually dominated by NHL players

I mean it's not a big deal like I said they're both going to be great players so there's really no real loser

Laine is third in points and does not lead in assists.

Edit: Maybe the team, I thought you meant the tournament.

Best scenario ever would be , Mathews gets picked by the Leafs 1st overall and then Mathews refuses to go there

Is anyone else confident that the moment Phil Kessel retires, he's going to immediately baloon right to 350 lbs?

At the moment of that announcement he would instantly become "overrated" in the eyes of the Leaf fans.

You're right, he had that 1 point today. He scored the 3rd of Finland's 5 goals, whereas Matthews scored the only 2 in a 2-0 US victory (pretty sure the US is a worse team overall too)

And the 2nd was a shootout game winner.

Not sure if their site was bad or if I was on both of those things I missed, but still shows one is not supremely better than the other
