It appears that it will be a jolly, jolly Christmas in the whazz's and countless other Leafers' households. New Leafs' number 34 sweaters will be under the trees on Christmas morning.

Just a bit of history. The Arizona Coyotes are the original Peg Jets 1.0, once removed. IF the Peg Jets 1.0 had not flown the coop and moved to Arizona, Austen Matthews would not have become a Coyote's fan and taken up hockey and developed into a potential NHL superstar. The Leafs after winning the 2016 draft lottery would have chosen Patrick Laine if there was no hockey playing Austen Matthews and a whole different scenario would be developing in Leafland. Therefore the Leafs can thank the WHA and Jets 1.0 for being able to choose Austen Matthews and finally having the key building block to possibly lead them to the promised land.

Merry Christmas to all.
