No disrespect to any leaf fans, but my friends from Toronto brought up to me a few years ago (and they were right) that the leafs organization has been the worst drafting team in the league........since the Wendl Clarke draft year

That's pretty obvious, don't tell these Leaf fans that though. They'll check in later to get their troll on.

Wendell Clark was awesome. Loved the guy. He is exactly what this team needs. Three of him.

Always liked Wendell Clark. Would be great to have his type of player on the Isles now.

To bad we do not have a coach, GM and Owner who understand you need balance on your lines and cannot have all softies.

Unless you want to lose and get your nuts beat in every night. Seems to be just what Wang/Snow are looking for?

Knowing the Islanders they'll announce him as our captain/coach in november when we are out of the playoffs.

Yep. A damn shame. Because as EVERYONE knows. Arenas can never be reformed to suit a need!!!!! Especially when we're talking Millions upon Millions of dollars in revenue! Idiot

Your time might be better spent directing your ire towards the owners of the Barclays Center.

Or simply reading the specs - it's not suitable for hockey.

This is fact.

The Barclays center is a short term answer for the NY Islanders.

Proof they are right? just because a couple of your water head buddies say so does not make it so

the Flames would have something to say about that..and by worst do you mean crappy picks or busts or top 5 picks? so teams like the pens are genius for taking Sid and malkin...oilers are draft guru's?..i dont really get how you and your buddies got to that conclusion...after all drafting RDP and sigining him till the year 3000 is smart

Laffs and Isles both have their Draft issues, (frank) look at all the talent the isles have drafted and squandered ie Chara AND spezza for Yashin..

EDIT
i take it all back
Scott Scissons at 6 was a gem, almost as good as Brett Lindros at 8, Ryan O'Marra, Josh Bailey, Dave Czyzowski at # 2

- TheFondler



Not sure I get the water head reference but ok.....

I feel like you're the student who came late to class and is bringing up material that has already been discussed. Every team has a few draft busts in their history. Ours being Scott scissons and Dave czyzowski.

Not sure where you're going with the milbury years but everyone knows the damage he's done.

When all is said and done have a look at the leafs draft picks over the last twenty years. Do you recognize the names?? You can bring up random busts from random teams and sound like you have an argument......but look no further than the leafs past 20 years of picks. It's no name after no name.
