Probably would have taken a bit more than a little luck though. You throw McDavid onto that Matthews draft team and yeah they don't finish last. I suppose in terms of alternate histories maybe he boosts the team up to finishing where Winnipeg did and we get out of this with Nylander, McDavid, and Laine
.
In the end though things really have gone pretty well for the Leafs. A great pickup with Nylander to start things off, then Marner being an awesome guy to be there when we picked, and then the lotto win for Matthews. You might be able to cobble together even more ideal results, but this was pretty darn good. Marner is hitting his best play at just about the perfect time, Matthews is back, and Nylander is producing. The top young guys are there and we've got production throughout the lineup.
