What ever points Mathews scores next season .... Liane will score at least 15 more points...... Go Jets Go

Spezza outscored Toews last year, while playing significantly less time on the ice. Does that mean you'd take him over Jonathan if you were picking a team.

Yes....50 pts or bust.

Idk barring an injury (frank me)20 goals and 25-35 asst. Seems resonable, but I do think that lame in winni will get more cookies! 25-30ish he's going to be a big deal scorer

Maybe. But Laine is a kessel. Matthews is a Toews.

One of these is good for the team no matter what. The other, if not scoring, is hurting the team.

Laine is 18 and you have him pegged already...

Not comparing the two,on overall game, but I do think lami gets more goals, with the centers winni has ,overall I still love Mathews better!and will probably get more assts. We'll see but exciting times for both clubs!

25g,32a,57 pts

Laine doesn't have Kessel's wheels but a fair comparison I think as they're both one dimensional snipers. And that's not to take away from either of them - teams need a bonafide sniper. The Jets are going to be scary good if all of that young potential is realized.

- Aetherial

yup - something in that range.


if Bozak is moved at the TDL ... then post deadline points could increase - in a situation similar to Rielly and Phaneuf last year... where Rielly had VERY LITTLE PP time prior to Dion's departure.

17-38

Toews is overrated as (frank).

Not a big fan of Matthews. Never have been. Eichel is a better player so I doubt he outscores him. I would say 10-12 goals and 15-20 assists. 50 pts is a real stretch.

You're that guy who claimed that Jim Jimmy Vesey told friends and family (eluding to yourself) that he was going to sign in Boston, right?

I think that 20-30-50 is very realistic and that he will fall +/- 5 in both goals and assists, barring injury of course.

I actually like Matthews better overall than Eichel in most aspects of the game. I don't believe you will see him cherry pick and go on breakaways quite as much as Eichel and that may cost him a few points.

I also think that he will have less proven talent around him. The Leafs lineup this year could be in a state of flux all year this year while kids settle in. Because of that you could see a 15-25-40 year and I don't think that should be seen as a disappointment.

Just remember this....Joe Thornton had 3-4-7 in 55 games in his first year. Sometimes there is an adjustment period. Just sayin'.

Interesting fact!

Anyone think Babcock will play him 10 & send him down to protect him? Maybe bring him back up after TDL after the fire sale?

25-32 pts. surely a joke right? Nail yakupov put up 31 in the lockout season.
Matthews has better stats than EIchel at the USHL, world junior, AND world championship levels. He also has a year pro under his belt, and will have competed against the worlds best at the world cup of hockey. to predict 40-55% of Eichels total is beyond dumb. will save this one for future reference though, its that silly

you have a better chance of winning the lottery. the media in toronto would eat that up, and it would destroy the kids confidence. how would you have felt if the pens did the same with crosby or malkin? those guys turned out alright on dumpsterfire pens team didnt they?

the fact that you had to go back 19 years says enough. even fail yakupov
put up a .65ppg pace.

Mackinnon 63 pts, EIchel 56 pts, RNH 52 pts..probably better comparables considering they were within the last 5 years, not 2 decades ago.

just sayin'

I agree with an Eichel-like season. I just hope the TOR media machine and fans give this kid some time. Watching Eichel last year, there were times he looked absolutely dominant, and other times where he looked like an 18yo.
