The fact that he spoke to both prospects at the worlds tells me its not set in stone yet. He even says why would you take an exam 3 weeks early?
I say we do draft Matthews just saying they havent got his name plate for his locker yet and billboards already made - pinksocked
Due diligence......that's all.. |

Wow thats a pretty big Laine boner you have
Who should the oilers have taken instead of RNH or Hall?
this Laine Matthews stuff is great... One mediocre tournament has created a monster.
Its like we are being told to Draft kessel and pass on Sundin - senstroll
i don't understand why this is still even a topic. everyone here has complained that we don't have a true #1C, and the chance we finally get to draft one, and they want to talk about potentially taking a winger? craziness. laine will be good, but he doesn't win you a cup, just like ovy doesn't win you a cup. you need that big body center who does everything, and matthews is exactly that. |

laine could be the winger version of stamkos or a much slower version of kovalchuk. i don't blame people for getting a boner about that.
matthews though |

and have either of those 2 won a cup? no. matthews is compared to kopitar, who has 2 cups. big bodied 2 way centers are worth more than a scoring winger. |

Because if the Leafs were picking 2nd then everybody would be talking about how Puunjabi is the better player than Laine. Or if the Leafs were picking 3rd how Tkachuk is way better than Pulajakjalaida. Or if the Leafs were picking 4th how Dubois is clearly the right choice. Or if the Leafs were picking 5th how Juloevi will make them look so stupid for passing on him. Etc. Rinse and repeat. |

It's a team sport though. Look at Thornton. He's everything you could ever want from a #1 center and if they lose to St Louis he'll probably never get another shot at a cup. Is that his fault? No. |

Ducks trade Anderson to Leafs for Kadri + / would the Leafs go for something like that- |

some people are born winners, others are born losers. Thornton has all the skill but he just isn't a winner. my guess is whoever wins will be from the east. Thornton and Jay Bo are born losers, so they will find a way to lose. |

Ducks have plenty of centres... do they really need another one?
I would think that they're possibly looking for a left winger? |

He got stripped of the 'C'......that says something. What great cup - winning center gets the captaincy taken away? |

What other team has ever stripped two players of the "C" and kept them on the team? |

I disagree on the last part. Can't see TB or PIT getting past either of these west teams. Not sure they can match that intensity. |

Probably a 2nd - I would think gets it done - it might have to also include a 4th if it's Bozek instead of Kadri - |
