All I asked was if it would be a harder choice. To which you guys answered with a resounding no.

Don't kid yourself, if Jets had a choice of the two players right now, it would be an easy "Matthews" as well.

Your turn. Knowing what you know now, would you rather have #6 overall Virtanen or anyone from the 6th round?

Tough question

Both have the same odds of making a steady nhl pay cheque

That kid has taken that city by storm

I don't think so

Not the direction I thought you were going to go, but ok, to each their own.

Nothing to think about. Laine is a great scorer but Matthews is a player that makes everyone playing with him great....
If you actually watched Matthews play, you would understand why the choice would be a no brainer.

Let's say the worst thing in the world happens and Montreal faces Vancouver in the SCF.

Who do you cheer for?

Me? I am leaning towards Vancouver.

Obviously you just hope their planes collide in mid air

Marner>matthews>laine
- Swaggins

Marner has amazing vision and a motor that doesn’t stop.

But Mathews’ ability to improve is unreal. It’s hard to even say what his potential is.

and i take laine over marner.

This is the winning, and only possible correct, answer.

He has, but imagine the storm if they had that number one pick and could choose.

And I don't buy the Gary Lawless logic of "well, they have Schiefele and Little so didn't need Matthews" as that's BS - you take the best damn player at #1.

Not to the people of Winnipeg. That's leaf goggles you got on there

I doubt any Leaf fan would take Marner over Laine....and I doubt any NHL GM would take Laine over Matthews.

Btw, you never said what you thought JVR was worth. Well, I'm asking, since I've answered your question at least 6 times in this thread.

People of Winnipeg? Do you speak for them?

Next question, do Bob Mckenzie and Darren Dreger wear Leaf goggles too?

...finally someone caught the hidden joke.

You can make a case for Dreger but Mckenzie is a man I respect.

Leafs needed a centre, not another winger. Even if Laine outscores Matthews by 20 points at the end of the year Auston was still the right choice. Nothing hard about it at all.

Marner is the next Patrick kane

Plays the exact same way. Does not just give the puck up. He never just dumps it in. He makes a play.. Doesn't matter if his line hoes for a change and he is the only one in the O zone

He is slippery and if you give him any space it's a scoring chance.

He will lead the league in points by 24 years of age

Dreger?

Hard yes?

JVR is a soon to be UFA that will command a zillion dollar contract who has potted 30 or more goals once in his career. His value is less than any Canucks and Leaf fans are delusional for thinking otherwise.

That should about cover his response.

Wrong. That's Pastrnak.

Maybe even Vatrano. I could see him putting up bigly numbers when he gets his feet under him.

The Goat? Awesome


Future 4th line, and PKer extraordinaire. Which means, bye-bye Smith.

Dreger?

Hard yes?
- Swaggins

I'm pretty sure Dreger proposed a Morgan Reilly and a pick trade for Trouba.
