Why would ARZ do THAT? Draft Bedard and then sign Matthews as a free agent the next year! Have them BOTH!

Would be a huge steal for the leafs. This version of the leafs isn't winning anything. Cut your losses before matthews walks in free agency and whoever is gm overpays marner even more on his next deal.

By the time Matthews gets to his new team, they could be playing in Hamilton, Ontario.

Bedard is the best prospect since McDavid vs a guy who seems to just be in it for the money

Sure, let's trade our proven top 2 player in NHL for a lottery ticket.

By the numbers he is better than Hughes. Bedard has out up numbers not seen in the WHL while being on a dog crap team

He's a top 5, not a top 2. Plus Bedard will likely move him down the list in about two years

Trading arguably the 2nd best player in the NHL is a negative

D-2 in juniors
Hughes: n/a
Bedard: 15 gp, 12g, 16a, 28pts (1.87 ppg)

D-1 in juniors
Hughes: 60 gp, 40g, 76a, 116pts (1.93 ppg)
Bedard: 62 gp, 51g, 49a, 100pts (1.61 ppg)

D-0 in juniors
Hughes: 50 gp, 34g, 78a, 112pts (2.24 ppg)
Bedard: 15 gp, 13g, 16a, 29pts (1.93 ppg)

Total juniors (through 15 games of draft year)
Hughes: 75 gp, 43g, 97a, 140pts (1.87 ppg)
Bedard: 92 gp, 76g, 81a, 157pts (1.71 ppg)

Total u-18 international (through Nov Draft season)
Hughes: 23 gp, 17g, 34a, 51pts (2.22 ppg)
Bedard: 11 gp, 13g, 8a, 21pts (1.91 ppg)

Total in play against older competition (vs NCAA)
Hughes: 15 gp, 2 g, 19 a, 21 pts (1.40 ppg)
Bedard: n/a

Really no way to get exact apples-to-apples comparison, but with the stats we do have, Hughes had the better numbers.

I mean, I'm not a Leafs fan so IDGAF, but your trolling is lame.

It's not trolling it's an opinion. Mathews is a great player, will go down as the best American player of all time. I just don't see enough emotion in him to be a winner. Guy gets clowned by smaller guys, doesn't want to stand up for himself and consistently shows a lack of passion.

Hughes also played on an absolutely loaded team that blew the doors off teams on a regular basis. That team specifically had 3 guys that are now stars in the NHL already with a couple more likely to reach that status.

Bedard has 1 other guy who was a first round pick and that's about it, the rest of the team isnt very good. By analytics Bedard is the next "generational" talent to come into the NHL and that's more what I'm basing my statement off of.

Tanner Howe is a likely top-5 pick, but agree that Hughes' NTDP team was loaded.

Early on, Wright was "generational" as well. Very different players and situations, but still recent example. Some called Lafreniere "generational" as well.

Bedard has the potential to be great (and potential to be better than Hughes was at draft time). But its still so early, hard to say Bedard at draft day > Hughes on draft day.

The only point I'd argue with here is Howe. Good player, not going to be in the top 10 this year though.

Bedard
Fantilli
Michkov
Carlsson
Yager
Sale

Just way to much talent for him to go that high.
