I do. Because Toronto. I'm unreasonably upset they have him.

If it makes you feel better, Samson doesn't seem like the kind of player whose development will ever stop, and I can totally see him improving to look a lot like Auston. Not quite the physical specimen, but they play very similar to my eye.

There's so many uber-talented players coming into the league nowadays that I try to just not focus on that stuff. They had good young players before him and would have added more either way. It'll make beating them more fun.

 

We have a guy who can be every bit as good as him, and even if he's not, he'll be close enough that any given series, he can outplay him.

It doesn't. I hate Toronto, its fans, and its media with a burning passion. I wanted nothing more than for them to continue to wallow in terribleness while running Tyler Bozak as their top center forever.

Don't underestimate the advantage Matthews has physically. He too will get stronger. He is a special player.

To be clear, this isn't about what we have or don't have. It's entirely about them, their "tanking with dignity" and "perfect tank" and the hilarious ass-kissing coverage they got from the media, and their fans who have a completely unjustified sense of self-importance. I hate the whole thing. F 'em.

You're not unreasonable.

 

Every frickin thing has gone perfectly for them.

 

Even their prospects are lighting it up in the CHL.

They will encounter their own roadblocks. It'll happen.
