IC Khari Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 PLEASE Toronto, draft Matthews, we want Patrik Laine! rebusrankin and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I do wonder if Toronto is shifting towards Laine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 No. Toronto will take the potential franchise Center just like every other team would. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Matthews with two goals against Belarus as well... we can rest easy once again. 1 hour ago, IC Khari said: 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.

The Unknown Poster Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 There is probably a better chance the Jets don't take Laine than the Leafs don't take Matthews. Goalie and FrostyWinnipeg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) FWIW, Chevy saw JP play in person. Wonder if he's at the WHC? Edited May 10, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Wasn't JP compared to being another Blake Wheeler while Laine was compared more to being more of an AO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 JP is Selanne, PL is Ovi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Chevy is at the worlds and has seen Laine play many times b4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 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! Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 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. SPuDS, IC Khari and Jimmy Pop 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
