TheRick Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I personally would laugh if Matthews does end up being a Bust for the Leafs but don't think it's likely. I know we are probably still pissed off for being out of the top 3, and even more pissed off that the Leafs are drafting 1st overall so to make ourselves feel better, from what we see of Auston Matthews, just by looking at him, news reports on him and hearing his interviews, is there anything that sticks that might lead you to believe that Auston Matthews a potential Bust?

Gstank29 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 He's going to be a Leaf, that even worse than being an Oiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think it's hard to say at this point. He was pretty dominant with Zurich this year, he did finish in the top 10 for points. Can't say for sure, I believe he will be a force in the NHL for years to come, but other people are going to have different opinions on what they think of Matthews.

guntrix Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I personally wish Auston the best. He's my most liked 1OA pick in like forever. Totally unconventional and rare hockey player, and a potential 1OA at that. Half Mexican, born in California, raised in Arizona, grew up with both hockey and baseball but opted for hockey, taking the Swiss league route instead of junior, etc. He's not your average player, it just sucks that it's the Leafs that get him and not us.

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Why can't we just wish for good hockey players, even if it's another team's? He's a kid. Don't have ill thoughts of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Not his fault that he got chosen by the Leafs. One amazing player doesn't bring success as people already know so the Leafs still have to surround him with a great team. No need to root too hard against him.

Go Faulk Yourself Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm curious why we make it our agenda on CDC to constantly talk about how much we hate the Leafs, trying to find constant reasons to make us look better than them because you're insecure about our current situation (I'm guessing here) and yet we always complain about how the hockey world revolves around them. Kind of hypocritical, don't you think? maybe just wish Matthews the best in Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 He isn't busting unless you feel him being a 2nd liner is a bust. That's probably the worst he'd be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that I personally like Matthews more than McDavid based on his unconventional background is totally subjective and not even based on who's better on the ice. Just wishing Auston the best... but please, make something out of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 This thread is Saaaalllllttttyyyyy. We didn't get first overall, deal with it. They aren't going to be busts just because they aren't Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 So, Matthews is awesome if the Canucks got 1st overall, but is going to bust when he goes to another team. Huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Sock Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Z Hockey said he was going to be a bust and he knows a former NHL ref so you know it's true. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
