From everything that I've heard / read / seen, Eichel is a poor man's Matthews. Only slightly poorer, but poorer nonetheless

I think Matthews is the easy choice over Eichel
- AxlRose91

It's only fitting because;

Reinhart is the poor mans Nylander
Bylsma is the poor man Babcock
Kane is the poor mans Kadri
Risto is the poor mans Rielly

It Will be fun seeing Eichel and Matthews face off against each other for hopefully a long time, and get a rivalry going again that matters.

Reilly, 2016 1st and 2nd, 2017 1st for McDavid

Do Leaf fans do that trade?

No.

Yes! I can't wait for this. Because of the rivalry between teams, their nationality, and McDavid being stupidly good at hockey, I think the argument is always going to be Eichel vs Matthews going forward. I love it.

no i would do 2016 1st overall and a 2016 2nd, and a D prospect for McDavid. No Reilly

People don't understand how good Rielly is...

If it was 2015 and Matthews was a bit older to be eligible....

1) McBuddha
2) Jack
3) Matthews


2016 and no generational talent to compete with...

Debate Eichel Vs Matthews...begin rivalry $$$$$$

I wouldn't even do Rielly and the 2016 1st for McDavid.

Not until he meets your mother, he isn't...

McDavid already beat Eichel in a 1st round KO.....

So (frank)ing funny watching analysts from this time last year talking about how Eichel may be better than McDavid

Now they're doing it for Matthews and Laine...

Doesn't really matter...

Matthews has more of a complete game than Eichel..

He also had a considerably better ppg for the US developmental team.. attribute that to age if you want, but it seems like he's going to be better..

Why are you trying to trade yourself already? And to Edmonton of all places?

It would be funny to see all the McDavid Oilers jersey tho

If not for the poor quality trash talk most Leafs fans come up with, this would be one of the dumbest posts ever.
Risto>Reilly
Reinhart smarter and more versatile than Nylander so far...23 goals as a 19 yo is not too shabby.
Comparing Kane to Kadri is dumb. One hard hitting 20 goal guy and one overpaid 3C who dives.
Babs and Disco=1 Cup each.

With that proposal pretty sure he's a Oilers fan

So Kadri must be the 20g hard-hitting guy... becasue he isn't overpaid at all.. they have him on a great contract.

Kane = 35 pts making 5.2mil
kadri = 45 pts making 4.5mil

$20 says the look on Matthew's face when the Leafs' pick is announced will match the look McDavid had last year.

You mean the one that he at the draft lottery? He was all smiles at the draft, and I think Matthews will be the same.

He already called it the "mecca" of hockey...

But keep up your weak ass troll attempt.. wait til next season starts
