From what I've seen he looks like a Sam Gagner

 

[RyanOhReally]

Glad to see this Swede, Austin Matthew on our team. Should be a good signing.

 

[FlareKnight]

Keep the jokes going . Personally I can't get past the point of "we got Auston Matthews, YES!"

No more "well we shouldn't pencil him in until we draft him." There he is! Drafted, ours! Franchise center!

I'm feeling pretty good here.

Exactly.
We've been talking about it for a month since the lottery.
I'm sorry if anyone didn't think we were taking Matthews no. 1.

Now tomorrow is the unknown.
Lots to discuss on day 2.

 

[Twix]

Feels good, the first solid building block in place.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

[I Believe]

We just drafted a franchise center.

It still hasn't sunk in for me yet
