How the flying (frank) has nobody just said it? Laine's most comparable player is Dany "All Star" Heatley.

That is a good one, Laine=Heatley

Matthews=Toews
Nylander=Kane (playing styles, not overall ability)
Marner= ...MSL??

McDavid=???

Toews has a career high of 76 if I recall... Matthews should get close to that in his first year playing with sub-40 point wingers for the most part...

Though his first non-ELC contract at $3.75m per year for three years would be nice

If he then shows after 6 years that he's worth $8m per then I'm okay with that.

How is Kopitar>>Toews? They have identical career ppg (0.87/0.88), each have multiple championships, each have a Selke, etc

For sure. As far as style goes though, Frenchy is pretty close to the money here.

The beautiful thing about top players is that they are all unique and we have to make pitiful comparisons.

*Remembers the Duchene = Sakic comps...olololololol*

Like seriously. Who the (frank) does Matthews play like? Kopitar a little, sure, but Kopi has never shot the puck that much.

Kopitar has lead his team in points every single year except this year and his rookie year.

All I'll say is that she had 21 years in Canada before meeting me and couldn't find a decent Canadian guy... so go (frank) yourself

She isn't a Leafs fan right? That'll do it.

and Toews scores just as much as him. You think Kopitar would be leading his team in scoring if they had Kane?

Just my opinion. He plays a better offensive game for me, and has 5 seasons of >70 points compared to one for Toews. Toews has also been on much more balanced teams for the most part. Kopitar has better at shot suppression than Toews, and also plays more time shorthanded (while generating better results).
