Toronto Maple Leafs Core Four
Auston Matthews: What do you get for the man who has everything, including a bucket load of goals, unstoppable on-ice moves, and a slick mustache?
The best thing for Auston Matthews is to take his relationship with pop star Justin Bieber to the next level. The best way to do that would be by using one of Bieber’s songs as a personal goal celebration soundtrack. Every time Matthews lights the lamp at home, Scotiabank arena erupts into a chorus of Sorry.
John Tavares: It’s always easy to figure out what to get the Toronto Maple Leafs captain. As with any mechanical being, John Tavares can always use an oil change. It isn’t flashy, but should get him 5,000 to more 7,500 miles.
William Nylander: William Nylander’s luscious locks are the envy of the league. In order to help him keep that the perfect flow, the perfect gift for him is a basket of hair-care products. Nylander’s the type to enjoy Philip B Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo at a price point of $160 for just 12 oz.
Mitch Marner: Finding Mitch Marner the right gift takes watching him score his goals. For a person with the personality as large as his, he needs a goal celebration that matches. So that it’s no longer an area requiring improvement, the ideal gift is a goal celebration choreographer. Every goal should be followed by the right moves that keeps the crowd on their feet.
