Only 4 pages even 5 hours later? Disappointing even for leafs nation.

Not a whole lot to say. We've already discussed him at length for nearly two months now. By all accounts we've had Matthews since April 30th, calling his name tonight was a formality.

It's cause there's nothing bad to say, we're all in agreeance, thus, we're all speechless.

We should make a Laine vs Matthews poll now and watch Laine win big time now that Matthews is a leaf

 

[Brown Dog]

He's here to save us!

Honestly HF needs a freaking like button for posts like this.

Welcome to Toronto, Auston! Glad to have you part of this organization that is building to become a powerhouse again.

Sorry about that. I completely missed it. I think I was too pissed at the Jays game.

Still seems so surreal. Can't believe Auston Matthews is actually a Leaf. It's unbelievable.

 

[ShLou Foot]

So do I order a Matthews jersey with 16 on the back or wait for him to have his real number?

Do both...different types lol

 

[crump]

He's cool. Here is a picture of Auston Matthews.

 

[bigdirty]

Loved the guys at the draft wearing "Auston 20:16" shirts.

 

[Cor]

His number isn't 16 lol

The 16 is on every draftee, since it's the 2016 draft.

I wonder if they've started talking to our other franchise centerman yet, now that the free agency negotiation window is open...

if it were me, I'd send Matthews and have him go

Alexander Nylander, is he still going to live in Toronto and play for the Sabres? Couldn't you guys have worked out a deal?

 

[Defense]

^ Should logo be inch higher on crest??

Yes i realize shoulder pads would lift it up

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Still wanna know his number. Please not 34. Just looks weird. I'm sure we'll be discussing that all summer unless he comes out and says what number he's wearing.

 

[thewave]

Damn Jersey looks cheap to manufacture without the shoulder emblem and second strip down low. They need to modify it already.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Mmmmmmmm!
