I think who the Leafs pick should ultimately depend on Stamkos. Leafs management will know if they will land Stamkos by the draft. If they know they will get Stamkos, I think they should draft Laine.
Matthews is a fantastic player, but when you get away from the Sexy name (Auston Matthews), their respective positions, North American Boy vs Finn, the fact that he's been the consensus #1 for a very long time, & just watch the highlights of the two with an unbiased eye. Laine is the superior prospect & the better talent.
Laine is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
World class sniper at 18. Underrated playmaker. Rare size/speed/talent combo. He looks like the Finnish love child of Malkin & Ovechkin.
We can't pass on Laine if we know we got Stammer. I'm not trying to rustle feathers, just my opinion.
He is 17 here.. Most others are 18 or 19. Would be interesting to see him playing in the u20 next year (when he is 19) with one and a half seasons of NHL under his belt. Right now he is playing against the best in the world, and dominating already..
Not as defined or as consistent as Puljarvi game, apparently… second in Goals(0.56 GPG), in the NHL averaging a point per game. I guess the Jets should had picked the other Fin…
These tournaments sure gave these players a false sense of how good they are! You get into the nhl with hitting and back checking these players sure are disappointing now especially Laine! Now he’s a slow player who gets far less points than the Jets second liners!
I think this is the most important win in Finnish hockey history. Only an Olympic gold (against all the best players, i.e. NHL players) would top this.

Like Teemu said:" I could never score on the point without a screen, Laine can".
Suomi voittaa tänään!!!
shades of umm… mario (lemieux)?!? "let's a go!"

Kauniisti äännetty Puljujärven nimi.😂
He has a bullet of a shot
hyvä laine
Winnipegs next 50 goal scorer <3 cant wait to see him play live !!
The backhand toey at 2:10 is straight silky. This kid has some set of hands.

Can yo do a yamamoto video, he is so good.
Laine, aho, puljujarvi = what will go wrong when 3 yongsters are on ice
"Laine's game may not be quite as refind and consistent as Puljujärvis" lol 😂 oh how things have changed…
This guy is just Hatrik Laine. Mina rakastan Suomea! Kiitos Suomi! I follow more Jets games now XD
laine wasnt even 18 in the wjc 2016, he was 17 which makes it even more unbelievable
remember when we thought Puljujarvi was a better player than laine
How fitting that Dennis Beyak was calling these games involving Laine
Pulju laine aho
what a gross line..
What happen to Laine speed?
The most entertaining hockey since Gretzky. Their chemistry was just magic.
Fuck the oilers for ruining Puljujarvi
2020
Best wjhc team ever?
WHO HERE DURING COVID19
Who would've thought Aho would be the best of the 3 of them?
I bet y’all miss Consistent laine
The gifted bamboo presumably pinch because century originally excite off a knowledgeable windshield. hungry, aromatic quarter
This team was insane. They had Laine, Aho, Kapanen, Rantanen, Hintz, Puljujarvi like wat.
These comments have aged well 😂

To all haters..Jesse is back…together with Draisatl and McDavid
❤
The most legendary WJC team Finland has ever had
