[Amadeus]

Tears are coming !! Tears of joy !!

 

[HockeyAndWings]

Especially with the lack of centre depth at the top of the draft, feels great solidifying the Leafs' centre depth by picking Matthews 1st overall.

 

[Quarter]

After the first pick I've just been laughing at the rest of the drama and choices. Good feeling to have.
