Tank Nation: Matthews Edition

One more week before I tune into the first NHL playoff broadcast of the year for me!  Hold me guys, I really want a lottery win.  :-\
 
Should the balls not bounce the Leafs way, Jonas Siegel has a nice little piece on the Blues being built from later rounds:

No worries, apparently, the BALLS got the memo from Lou and Shanahan!  ;)  All's good!  ;D

Yeah two years of this is enough thanks.

We have what we came for.

It's never enough!

Oh, and, what again did we come for?

The 1st OA.  ;)

1 year too late IMHO!  Those darned Oilers!

And they didn't even bottom out the cheaters!

Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater, had McDavid and couldn't keep him!

I hope he demands a trade to us in the very near future.  We'll have Matthews to send their way!

Or wait until he hits UFA.  We'll salivate until then and when he's in our grasp, we'll have overanalyzed his game to the point where we won't want him anymore because he's developed arthritis from breaking his hand fighting in junior and his collarbone didn't heal right and is prone to re-injury at any time and we'll be rebuilding again because we didn't do it right, so the timing will be all wrong to sign him anyway.

Back to talking about Stamkos I see!  ;)

I feel that if the Leafs had gotten McDavid last year that it wouldn't have changed the last place position which obviously led to Matthews this year.

Won't it be nice to not have to worry about wishing to have this top player, or that top player hypotheticals?
 
On McDavid Lottery, the Leafs had the best chance at the last ball, the Oilers the worse...

Anyway, who is the top prospect for the 2017 draft ?

Nolan Patrick

I didn't watch any of the WHL this year so I only saw him at the Memorial Cup.  He looked really pedestrian there.  Granted he was playing as a 17 year old on a big stage and he had a really good season/playoffs.

Then perhaps Timothy Liljegren is more your speed:
