I would rather have Matthews. Laine is one of those guys, you hardly hear his name mentioned until he scores.. Does not seem to be involved in the play as much.

Matthews is the guy for the Leafs. Simmons doesn't know his areshole from his elbow.

Morning Fellas.

Both Matthews as well as Marner are drivers of play on 5on5, can play PP and PK.
Laine is (/will be) an elite sniper, but quite one-dimensional.

Laine will get to 80-90 points, but Marner and Matthews do so much more for the team, while getting to 70-90 points as well.

Quite clear that Marner and Matthews >>> Laine (not taking away anything from Laine's skill set).

Leafs already have our own Laine in Nylander.

It'll be just the draft all over again for Calder votes. 90% of NHL voters will pick Matthews. Leaf haters will say Laine is better. It'll happen likely forever

20 out of 30 NHL coaches Picked Matthews to be the Rookie of the year at the half way point of the season. I don't think anything had changed since then.

I'm not saying Nylander is as good as Laine. Just that his skill set and what he brings to a team is similar

I bet half of those coached hate the Leafs too

You'd be crazy to not take Matthews over Laine.

Willie has the skills to be a center in this league some day as well. I do not see Laine ever being a center.

lol thats not even the half of it...it spent two hours in a snow bank one night after lynn hip checked me, i left it on the bus once and lynn was able to time out the schedule and get on the same bus and find it under some fat guy. it took a swim in a toilet bowl once, i had the screen replaced and broke it two days later (thats when i found out about corrosion inside.... hmm wonder why? lol) and then it got dropped at work and the screen just simply didnt work anymore ...it just kept hitting 6 for the unlock on its own and now its locked out (not that i care lol)

i thought about switching to an android phone (i assume thats what the motorola is) but i never really liked them... found a 5S on kijiji for $150 in perfect shape... going to go get a new contract soon either way... but not for a couple more months..i have waited because i dont like the new larger phones... apparently apple has released a new iphone thats more along the lines of the 5 series phones... going to look into that
