It wasn't even close. Auston Matthews becomes the first player since Phil Kessel to be unanimously selected as the top player in PPP's annual Maple Leafs' Top 25 Under 25 series.
While there may not have been unanimity in 2016 NHL Draft rankings that ought to have had Auston Matthews as their top-ranked player, the staff at PPP didn't cast any doubt on his status within the organization.
Unanimously ranked at No. 1 by all 14 panelists in this year's Maple Leafs' Top 25 Under 25 series, Matthews has almost certainly added some predictability to this ranking for years to come -- or at least until he turns 25 or he's traded (gasp).
