Auston Matthews (A+)

This guy.

It’s hard to not give Matthews all the praise and glory you can. He came out with high expectations and passed them all.

Being a first overall pick has some added pressure attached to it, but being the first overall selection drafted to the Leafs is a different story.

Matthews scored four goals in his debut, broke the franchise rookie goal scoring record, lead the team in goals with 40 and points with 69.

Not to mention the fact that he lead all rookies in goals and points and is one of the three finalists for Calder Trophy.

He also captured Rookie of the Month honors.

He did it all and will be part of the face of this team for years to come.
