Voted Matthews, but also this is a loaded poll clearly wanting a certain answer.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

I think Tkachuk will be like his dad. 50-goal scorer, captain, best power forward in the league.

Him.

How so???.

 

[Dache]

How so???.

Really? A few players or never or at least not more than briefly had the hype or projected upside of Matthews vs Matthews. You have a defenceman in there but not Dahlin? No Eichel, Barzal, Draisaitl, not even Hughes, and of course not McDavid but I can get behind him being left out. You picked players that everyone can agree are good players, but made sure everyone is a tier below Matthews.

 

[Tkachuky]

I think Tkachuk will be like his dad. 50-goal scorer, captain, best power forward in the league.

Him.

Don’t see him as a 50 goal scorer. Maybe gets there once or twice.

I see him more of a 30-40G guy with 40-50 assists.

Should be a very strong PPG type of player.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Matthews
McAvoy
Tkachuk
DeBrincat
Dubois
Laine

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Hmmm. A number one overall puck should probably win this against the lower picks. Really only Laine was a similar pick.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

You'd be better off asking for who's 2nd. I think it'll be Tkachuk or McAvoy

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Debrincat is good...

... But why the f*** is he in this poll?

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Matthews is clear #1.

Homer vote goes to Mac #2

 

[Spirit of 67]

I'll have to get back to ya on this.

George Leafer is no Leafs fan.
He was hoping someone else would win.

Would've been better with Pettersson, Aho, Point
or he thinks Matthews is in this tier.

This has gotta be the worst sentence I’ve ever tried to read

Never said he was a leaf fan. Just that it’s a loaded poll. Think the results show I’m right

Because my phone auto corrected the fourth word to “or” instead of “have” like I intended. That’s the worst sentence you’ve ever tried to read?

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Few players have ever had the hype of Auston Matthews for the reason that few players have ever been as overhyped as Auston Matthews.

[HanSolo]

While I'm of the belief that he does get overrated a bit, this is Matthews until the others prove otherwise.

 

[Team Cozens]

In 5 years gotta assume Matthews is playing for Coyotes, right?!

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

Matthews. He's in an entirely different ballpark than any of the others. Not a fair poll.

 

[Incognito]

In most instances, I'd feel like a homer if I chose a Leafs player and then followed it up with "AINEC", but in this case, it applies.

 

[BananaSquad]

Matthews lol.

So you’re asking if the #1 draft pick from a draft will be better than the others from that draft?

How does being the #1 pick automatically make you better than others 8 years post draft.

Shall we ask the same question about the 2017 draft?

So you’re saying you agree that all these players are comparable?
