May 8, 20169 yr comment_195358 No. Toronto will take the potential franchise Center just like every other team would. Report
May 8, 20169 yr comment_195360 It's a silly question. Matthews will go first. There's a more likelyhood that AZ will trade OEL, Domi and a 1st for Matthews then TO picking Laine. Report
May 8, 20169 yr Author comment_195378 I'm actually not sure if Laine is not "BPA" (Best Player Available) but Toronto needs a center of Matthews calibre to anchor it for the next 10 years, so I'm pretty sure they go need over who may or may not be better at this point. I was just hoping they don't go off the reservation (credit Hillary Clinton) and take the guy we need. If Matthews fell to us it wouldn't be bad either of course Report

May 8, 20169 yr comment_195391 There is probably a better chance the Jets don't take Laine than the Leafs don't take Matthews. Report
May 10, 20169 yr comment_195648 From everything I've heard (Bob MacKenzie, etc) there is about a .00001% chance TO takes anyone other than Matthews... Even if Laine scores 35 goals in the tourney, TO still goes with Matthews... Report

May 10, 20169 yr comment_195657 JP is the better all around player. PL is a sniper. It's not an easy choice. The nice part... whoever they pick... PL or JP... they can't go wrong. JP screams Jets pick to me tho for some reason. Report
May 10, 20169 yr comment_195683 FWIW, Chevy saw JP play in person. Wonder if he's at the WHC? Edited May 10, 20169 yr by FrostyWinnipeg Report
May 10, 20169 yr comment_195697 Wasn't JP compared to being another Blake Wheeler while Laine was compared more to being more of an AO? Report
May 11, 20169 yr Author comment_195798 Really top three is a bonus this year, can't really go wrong with any of them. Just happy we were fortunate enough to get to pick in that group! Report
May 11, 20169 yr comment_195808 Yup. Pretty much. Few weeks back, None of these guys would have fallen to us at 6. I'm fine with either of the Finns. Report
