Auston Matthews is a remarkable talent.  Besides learning how to play a complete game at the NHL level, he seems to show his unique talents and soft hands at various points in a game...the kind of play that turns heads.

It is still early for the young man so we really do not know how he will turn out but he brings skill to the table and that skill molded by experienced minds such as Babcock makes the potential for this young hockey player seem high.

From someone who witnessed in person the great Habs teams of the late 70s, Lafleur had the same head turning capability but he brought a different style of game than Matthews....and it took Lafleur a couple of years to craft his trade at the NHL.  Leaf fans will be overjoyed if Matthews can have the same impact on the Leafs as Lafleur had on the Canadiens.  I wonder what the future holds.
