It's too bad that Matthews played in Switzerland last year. As a result we don't really know how he truly matches up to his college or junior peers. If he had played for Kitchener lets's say, we could have seen him play against Marner, Strome, Dvorak and others. Well in 15 years we will have a better idea compared to his peers how they all match up.
Is Mattthews a Strome or McDavid comparable? My guess writing on June 14, 2015 Matthews for Strome and the 7th pick is fair. Maybe I'll change my mind come draft time. Hey, maybe the Leafs draft Laine.
