The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Sundin from the Quebec Nordiques alongside Garth Butcher, Todd Warriner and a first round pick in 1994 (Nolan Baumgartner) for Wendel Clark, Sylvain Lefebvre, Landon Wilson and a first round pick in 1994 (Jeff Kealty).
The Leafs drafted Matthews first overall during the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
Similarity #1: Complete Player
There is a reason why Sundin leads all Leafs players in goals and points: he was a complete player. Sundin could shoot the puck from anywhere in the offensive zone, or make an amazing pass.
His strength made it very hard to get the puck away from him, and his quick slap shots were accurate from the top of the circle.
