Are you a new Leafs fan?

Like, did you get a Leafs hat from mom for Christmas, and decide you would start to follow the team?

Than draft wingers....
- Fruitcakenipple

So just draft C it is. Exactly what many have been saying.

You've gone off the deep end bud

Yes, an 18 year old Morgan Rielly could clearly shut down the game's two best offensive players for a night. No problem. He's Bobby Orr with a touch of Nik Lidstrom.

Not expecting him to be a savior or anything...Just win a Norris or six.

name all the 18 year old defensemen that entered the NHL over the past 5 years.

You guys should know by now, he only appears after a loss, shouldn't be a big surprise to any one;

It is now perfectly clear that anyone disrupting the threads will be subjected to a ban, we stopped this because of the lockout but it has become very evident that it is a problem once again.
- LeafMan

Not being a smartass, but what do you term disrupting a thread? That's pretty vague Leafman. Again, not trying to be a smartass, just my whole left-wing 18 year old self (I'm now a staunch conservative), tends to get me all defensive and stuff.

So just draft C it is. Exactly what many have been saying.

Why do people who want the Leafs to tank complain after losses?
- Canada Cup

I think it is more gloat than complain for some.

- ThePresident

No, apparently Kessel and Ryder are the same.

And have no wingers a la Sundin? No thanks, keep building. We need to add talent, not make lateral moves.

Besides, what #1C is coming back for Kessel? Toews? Malkin? Crosby? Staal? ...not happening.

Ryan O'Reilly!

some body must of hit this guy with stun grenade before he posted this

Nobody said it.

Didn't u say 30+ goalscorer is a "elite" goalscorer??...

You instantly assume he would be "torched". I said you are a pessimist.. Now you're saying i think hes Bobby Orr? Give your head a shake.
