No he wasn't, the end.
He was just as hyped as Matthews and more than Hughes.
Stop it already. You're giving the impression of creating your own truth when you insist on having right in every single topic even when you are far from it.
Laf even got almost just as hyped as Bedard. The difference was Bedards last year or years when he excelled at every level, more so than the perhaps overhyped Laf.
Don't you remember Shane Wright was considered to be almost at the same level before these two last years?
Majority of experts seemed to believe that Bedard and Michkov were to be pretty close 2 years ago as well.
Lol this post is so completely out to lunch. I can't even tell if you are being serious.
Laf was not even in the same stratosphere hype wise as Bedard, or Matthews for that matter. Everyone knew Bedard and Matthews were going to step right onto the top line as 18 year olds. We were hoping Laf could step in and contribute in the top 6 as an 18 year old.
But again, you have been here for since 2019, so you would surely know what it was like around here in 2016 when Matthews was being drafted. Lol
