Value of: Auston Matthews

[shortfuze]

Every team needs a little luck when they're making the leap

Chara chose Boston over LA in free agency because the captaincy was available. Without the Thornton trade he probably doesn't go there, nor do they have the space to bring in Savard.

is that even a thing? seems a little childish to go to a certain team if they are made captain.

Don’t be blinded by the skill. 34 isn’t the player you build a team around. You’re not raising the cup w him on your team. Absolutely no question he’s one of the most talented players in the NHL. Will go down as an all-time great goal scorer. But the difference between him and say Ovi is what’s inside. That compete level. That “do whatever it takes” mindset. Being a leader, a true leader on and off the ice. This isn’t about him as a hockey player, this is about him having the ability to be a champion. It’s damn hard to win that cup, but it’s almost impossible if you don’t have “it”. If I have to explain what “it” is, then you’ll never understand.

than build a team around matthews with those players. not every player on a team plays like Ovi. put matthews on a line with grit and that compete every shift.

Smh…ok…you obviously sleep w a Matthews jersey on.

why? cause hes right.

 

[shortfuze]

There are no real contending team that will have any interest in Matthews.

He is not the kind of player who help team to win title.

He is very expensive regular season performer with undisclosed injury issue.

Kings do not need him, bur really need Byfield and Clarke.

ridiculous

Ya why would a team that hasn't had a 40+ goal scorer in decades want a 60 goal selke level star for a bust and two mid picks that likely never amount to anything.
I thought habs fan were supposed to be smart?
I'd love him in Vancouver.

I care about what he does in the playoffs. Or, more importantly, doesn't do. The level of accountability that HuGo are trying to instill doesn't have room for Auston's disappearing acts. Condescend someplace else.

ridiculous

Why? Cause he’s right?
