You know you won a debate when..... ^^

Great contribution from a Hasn't fan. Not as good as Domi = Matthew's, but quality nonetheless.

Laine is a top end talent who can do easy 50 goal season's
Calling 30 goals a down year says everything ( the 3rd in a row)

- goenzoy


I didn't say it was a down year, I said he is inconsistent. He followed up an 18 goal November with 1 goal in December. That's about as inconsistent as it gets.

He's got the best one timer of anyone not named Ovechkin but that's the only thing he does well. He's not quick, he's not elusive, he has no notable hockey IQ, and is absolutely dismal in his own end. He lacks both the speed and enthusiasm that allow Ovi to drive plays and create chances.

He needs to be used in the right roll with the right complimentary players to have success. The Habs don't have what it would take for him not to be a disaster.

No it doesn't and it won't if it happens and no Goal Caufield doesn't have to be in it either

Nice try though

If Domi is your standard for a 'top line center' I'd hate to see your wife. 72 points or something like that in a season where total goals has been at its highest in a decade...

So Mathews isn't a #1 center then? clown. This is why everyone takes poops on maple laugh fans

You mean Tavares? Yea it's a shame he wasnt healthy. If he was healthy he might have hit 72 points. Dare I dream and suggest maybe even 88 points.

You got me again! Drats!

Leaf fans should hang their heads in shame that a rookie center got 40 goals and 69 points in his first year. True centers score 18 goals as a rookie and 9 in their second year. Matthew's is a bust. Suck it leaf fans. Jealous over Domi.

May god have mercy on your soul for being pathetic enough to compare Domi and Matthews and suggest they're on the same level.

- systemtool

Nice strawman argument. The point I was making was that Domi has comparable numbers to first line centers. I'm using your man crush Matthews to drive home how ridiculous your argument is that 72 points isn't first line production. Got that or do I need to dumb it down more?

I do agree with you, but a first line centre doesn't necessarily need to have a certain number of points for the team to succeed. I don't know much about MTL's farm team, so I won't comment either way on the proposed trade ideas, but as an Isles fan, I'd love to have him on my team.

Domi is like the only good forward they have. Acquiring Laine without a C is pointless. Pun intended

Unless Chevy wants to be hunted down faster than those two morons from BC he better not trade a 20 year old 100+ goal scorer for a bag of magic beans like Domi.

I've also mentioned the ability to put up those numbers on a consistent basis. You're sure good at dumbing things up by ignoring the whole point. You're also ignoring the fact Matthew's was injured and on a ppg pace for 2 of his 3 season, the 1st which was less than ppg because he was a rookie. And a teenager.

72 points is good and all but its gotta be done consistently before hes considered one of the better point producers in the game. Once in 4 seasons doesnt cut it. The true number one line players are pretty much ppg players on a more consistent basis. Not doing it once in 4 seasons.

Matthews has been alot more consistent and a far more reliable producer than Domi. If you cant accept that, it's fine. If you think Domi is as good as Matthews. That's awesome. You should tell more people that. Cause 73 points in 68 games is not the same as 72 points in 82 games.

But hey, if you close your eyes hard enough and tap your ruby red slippers just right, anything is possible i guess.

If you want to make the argument that he needs to prove consistency by putting up 70+ points yearly I can agree with that, but I'd counter this is Domi's first season on a sensible hockey team (who wants to play in the (frank)ing desert with a poopty team, I think it'd impact anyone's performance). That wasn't in your original post however, which clearly said you didn't consider 72 points first line production. I'm not comparing Matthews to Domi, like I said I'm using it illustrate why it's ridiculous to say 72 isn't. Did you not consider Matthews a legit first line center in his rookie year when he put up 69 points?

This is odorous and makes leaf fans look foolish since they all end up getting painted with the same brush.

Both the leaf and Habs have good players.

As a rookie, I did. Mostly because he hit 40 goals. 69 points as a rookie is actually good and remember that was a mess of a team he was on as they finished dead last the year before. So I'm not sure I buy that as an excuse to why Domi wasnt able to perform on a bad team.

I pretty much said this weeks ago. I said the only way this happens is if domi goes back. I don’t think it gets done then. Myself if it was prospect or 1st and domi for Laine I say do it. Domi, high prospect and 1st though or something like that then I say no.

You guys are arguing about nonsense. Points don't mean anything for players on different teams. It's a useless point of reference. Now, as an Isles fan, and an avid Leaf hater, Matthews is a franchise player, and I'd trade almost anything for him. Domi, he's amazing, and probably irreplaceable. But sorry Habs fan, Matthews is all world
