even the scouts haven't been able to watch them against the same level of competition, though.
and scouts know that prospects can change quick. what they saw last year or even 6 months ago might not have much relevance now.
But I think we're seeing that even though Laine has clearly stepped it up to an impressive level much higher than he was at before, he's still a cut below Matthews, even considering age. Which is nice.
Though I am interested in seeing what Laine does going forward - he was pretty upset about this last game apparently and vowed a performance like that would never happen again. Let's see if that's all talk or not.
