What each player does in the upcoming World Championship might just determine who goes first.
Laine just won the Jari Kurri trophy.... Finland's version of the Conn Smythe.... As a 17 year old. Completely carried his team to the finals.
I don't believe Matthews is the clear choice for #1 at this point. This isn't just a bump for Laine due to his WJC. He's now been doing this for several months. Matthews still likely goes #1 due to being a center, but in fantasy it's damn close between these two.

Roster
Just listening to Ferraro break down the first two games for these guys, obviously very different opponents/positional situations/linemates, but lots of comparisons/mentions about Matthews being a two way/complete player/Toews/etc. Laine half way to matching the record for most points by an U18.
Gonna be fun to watch!

All this after Laine played Belarus lol
Matthews has a shitty attitude and reminds me of Kessel.
Matthews will likely get picked 1st overall but Laine will be the better fantasy own. By a long shot.
First I've read that.
Where did you get that info from?
It's probably because he chose to play in Europe instead of North America. Personally I like what he did this year.

I honestly believe any of the top three kids can be the best of the bunch.
Matthews has had the hype for a full year now as the expected #1 pick for this years draft. Laine and Puljujarvi have come along and certainly put doubt in some peoples minds.
