Personality isent one of them
jk jk
Real question tho. Is laine really only all shot and nothing else in your opinion?
On topic.
Matthews can likely become malkin level player meaning potential to be the best of best like malkin had at sone points. Altho like like crosby mcdavid is in the way.
Should be a huge season for matty.
Matty has the worst personality on earth lol at least in the media.
I think he looks like a player on a whole different level this year. Speed, shot, playmaking, hands, edges, 200ft game, etc. but I still want him to stay healthy and prove it. I won't just hand him anything, but he does have the chance to be number 2 player in the league special.
Laine intrigues me. His shot obviously stands out, but I just have not seen enough improvement in other parts of his game, but with his young age, and frame, he has that potential. I think he will become great, but the one area I see as an issue is skating (at least acceleration) stronger 200ft game, and 5x5 play. I believe anything else he can work on, just need to see it. Regardless I am still a HUGE fan of his, and I get up out of my seat when that pass goes into his office! plus when you hear him talk, you gotta love his personality lol
I still maintain the trio of McDavid, Matty, and Eichel are the top young 3 going forward (health permitting) and as a leaf fan I get to see the Sabres a lot, and Jack is just unreal, the little things this player can do, and the god given ability he already has, I could see him challenging as a number 2 in the world as well.
