Stoked to see him step his game up even more next season!! This kid could very well go down as the best Leaf in history.

"AINEC"
- Mike Bobcat

 

[BayStBullies]

Never a doubt, he was a tier above the rest

 

[ShaneFalco]

Well deserved!
He's helped make years and years of pain worth it

 

[Confucius]

Congrats to AM 34, thanks again for the awesome year. Great memories already!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Wow what a year for rookies. Guys like Nylander and Marner do not even get a sniff.

"AINEC"
- Mike Bobcat

I thought I read on the main board all season that it was "LAINEC"? Something about some other rookie

 

[Schenn]

Congrats Auston!!

 

[Alfie]

Only player so far to acknowledge the fan base.

 

[Mugzy97]

Wow what a year for rookies. Guys like Nylander and Marner do not even get a sniff.

Yeah 5th and 6th in rookie voting while putting up 60+ pts is really insane. Doesn't matter though, we know how good they are

 

[MJ65]

I am so happy for the deserving rookie and so excited to have him on our team

 

[timlap]

Main emotion: Relief.

Glad I don't have to be annoyed for thirty years. Memories of Wendel.

 

[BackPassChampions]

Congrats to AM34. Well deserved. Let's see what he's got next year

 

[Daisy Jane]

I want to smack the 3 people who didn't vote for him.
(like it wouldn't have bothered me if it was like relatively close - but 163 people voted for Matty. who were the 3 dumbdumbs who didn't?)

 

[crump]

Nice shout out to us fans. Kid's got class.

 

[Steven1562]

Love the speech too. This kid checks all the boxes. Franchise player for sure.
