They've been cramming his name down everyone's troats since the day of the draft lottery.
They may feel he's part of their top 12. Remember though, these are the are the same people that put their own second golden boy RNH on the team and are currently in charge of the Oilers. The OILERS. So I don't put much credence in their decision making abilities. Hence why I disagree with the Matthews selection.
It's not agreegous or anything, like putting Virtanen on the team. I think you know what I'm saying.

I think you are slightly overemphasizing the Toronto factor on Matthews marketability, but even if your not, I'd suggest the reason why a player is marketable or well known is pretty irrelevant.
It think Matthews is on the team because the management believes he's a top 12 forward, and with my limited knowledge I'm inclined to agree. You were the one that suggested showcasing young NHL talent as a factor. If that is the case, the reason why Matthews is easily one of the most marketable U23 players on the planet is kind of irrelevant, all that matters is that he is.

If Samsung was a country, they'd have jerseys like Europe.

Like how Mclellan managed to get the two Oilers as the top 2 centers.

Is it taboo to name Gaudreau's name or something? Passes to McDavid to Eichel, never mentioned at all.

Give the two Leafs credit, that goal was all them.
