Revisiting the Top of the 2016 NHL Draft

[Big Hockey Dude]

By this point the stats are: Auston Matthews with 88 points in 98 games, and Patrik Laine with 73 in 87. Last year they finished 1-2 in calder voting, of course Matthews was the winner. While both players are obviously super talented and are going to be elite for a long time, do you think it was a mistake for Winnipeg to draft Laine over Matthews? Or do you believe that the first (almost) 100 games were just a fluke? Personally I believe that Winnipeg should have taken good Canadian boy Pierre-Luc Dubois first overall (just look at the impact he is making this year in Columbus). So now I'm curious to know what you guys think, please leave your comments below (and if you disagree with me then I will turn the site off).

Winnipeg drafted 2nd, and got the best player available, your post is confusing at best. Please at a minimum research your topic before posting.

He made a mistake people, get over it.

Matthews was drafted 1st overall. Everyone is fine with who they drafted.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Pierre-Luc Crapois's got 3 pts in 15 games...some impact.

Winnipeg should have drafted Matthews. I think anyone who argues with this is just being stubborn.

Jets should of taken Keller.

I have to agree with the creator of Corsica on this one

Op is right Dubois is a beauty

That CBJ GM Cargo Yemolakainen knows what he’s doing, and didn’t draft his son Patrick Laine at 3, smart choice

 

[Kennedys]

Nooooo !

Isn't Winnipeg the one that goes bonkers for Phantom of the Paradise?

It is a good case, but we have 2 Keller Clones and no Laines..... but would not cry today if took Keller

There are tons of other Matthews vs Laine threads. Use one of those.
