Wait, what?As long as the Leafs add the right players to compliment Matthews, his talent will be wasted.
Marner and Nylander are skill players but small by NHL standards. Wonder how they will perform in the grind of a full season and hopefully the playoffs?There is plenty of young talent to compliment Matthews. Marner and Nylander. JVR is also great a line mate for Matthews.
Leafs have drafted well but none of these kids have proved anything at the NHL level, it's one thing to look good in scrimmage games and pre season but the test will be when they start the regular season and will face seasoned players with far more skills than they've played against before. Even Mathews won't look so good, he's got no Crosby, McDavid or Marchand to play with.Marner and Nylander are skill players but small by NHL standards. Wonder how they will perform in the grind of a full season and hopefully the playoffs?

Does he speak Spanish? If yes, the Spanish speaking Blue Jays would love him. (I still can't believe Buck Martinez can't speak Spanish.)His Mom is Mexican.
Matthews did play baseball and I think the Jays could use Matthews in the lineup tonight.Does he speak Spanish? If yes, the Spanish speaking Blue Jays would love him. (I still can't believe Buck Martinez can't speak Spanish.)
Same could be said about McDavid, Crosby and Marchand. They don't have Matthews to play with. :biggrin-new:Leafs have drafted well but none of these kids have proved anything at the NHL level, it's one thing to look good in scrimmage games and pre season but the test will be when they start the regular season and will face seasoned players with far more skills than they've played against before.

A few names to remember, Glimour, Gaudreau, Fluery, St. Louis. Give Marner time to fill out into his body.Marner and Nylander are skill players but small by NHL standards. Wonder how they will perform in the grind of a full season and hopefully the playoffs?
One of these things is not like the others.A few names to remember, Glimour, Gaudreau, Fluery, St. Louis. Give Marner time to fill out into his body.
