mood:
man matthews is so exactly what we needed, shooting complete 1C, the idea of marner feeding matthews is so good, marner and nylander being playmakers it is too perfect to have a high end shooting c we needed it
marner on matthews wing makes so much sense to me in my mind but dunno if that's what they'll do
on tsn they were projecting moving nylander to matthews wing for next year, man that would be fucking fun to watch, it's weird because next year was gonna be weird for me wanting to root for the leafs but in the back if my mind still thinking i want another top 10 pick but now with matthews, nylander, maybe marner eh i'll just root for em and let shit fall where it may
still can't believe it, never believed we'd ever get a pick like this, i legit keep laughing out loud when i randomly think about it
matthews/eichel potentially makes the sabres rivalry actually interesting, something funny to think about is what if the sabres took alex nylander at 8, heh
can't wait for the preee-seeeason
if nothing else i can enjoy watching the leafs from now on
o also this is an amazing article i was reading recently

This corner has gone on the record as saying Babcock is a great coach, but he is not the right man for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not right now. After talking about not accelerating the rebuilding process, the Leafs went out and accelerated the rebuilding process.
Put it this way. The Leafs were the fourth worst team in the NHL last season. It would not be a stretch to suggest that with some creative roster management, they could have fallen further down the standings in 2015-16. Now, under Babcock, theyll probably be better. Not much, but enough to take them out of the running for such high-level talents as Auston Matthews, Jesse Puljujarvi, Jakob Chychrun and Matthew Tkachuk each and every one a franchise cornerstone stud.
Good job on the rebuild there.
lmao
