Yeah, like is this supposed to be impressive?

Maybe the Habs should’ve drafted better in their first 100 years. Matty had more goals at 18 than Slaf has points this year.

Matty never played a single NHL game as an 18 year-old.

I don't recall how that could be the case when he played straight out of the draft.

But you can edit my post to say 19 and it would still be the same.

 

[Habsy]

Wasn't he under contract in swiss league?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

He was, but I thought that was at 17, not 18.

"Historic"

 

[Habsy]

What do you call it when a player takes over top spot?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

In this case? Comical.

 

[Habsy]

I bought extra popcorn for the next time you vent about frenemy. Whooo boy he's warming up man, warming up.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Oh I don't doubt it.

"Top"

Leaving the fact that it's sportsnet aside, why isn't it newsworthy?

It’s because he was born only two days after the deadline to be eligible for the 2015 draft, instead of the 2016 draft.

So he turned 19 a couple of weeks before making his NHL debut.
