Anybody else think it's funny Matt Finn is Carlo Coliacovo's cousin?

- AdamFrench

how far would we have to move up?

btw i did that research after i asked you about him in the leafs blog you did. not many people are talking about him. do you think he could fall to us?

i do, and think its funny dave morrison didn't know that when he picked to draft him

Yes. Gotta give Reimer at least one more year before thinking about drafting a goalie in the first round.
- SameOld

If he played 3 more years of junior and 2 years of ahl he would only be 22...... so I would say yes to drafting a goalie... I would do it 2nd round though

I would take your 2nd for Scrivens and use it to draft Comrie
- jribout

Actually here's how I'd prefer to spend that 2nd. Kulemin for Oilers 2013 2nd + conditional 2014 2nd based on him re-signing. Thoughts?

Draft rankings are all over the place this year (like 2003) Wennberg is as high as 12 and as low as 40. He could probably fall to the Leafs if teams take defensemen in the mid-stages of the draft. Like Morrissey/Zadorov/Bowey/Morin/Pulock...hell even Theodore might go earlier if a team really likes them. I'd guess he goes by 17, but you never know, Brian Huddle and I had an argument about Tom Wilson, Huddle said he would go top-15 I said 22, well he went 16 and Huddle won that round

Now I know why it took Burke so long to fire him

What do you think Ron is waiting for????

not even close

I can see Columbus taking Fucale with the 19 overall if he makes it. Word is Bobrovsky may bail to the KHL and I doubt they have any prospects there anyway.

It's all about depth though, we have a nice crop of wingers too. Biggs,Ross,McKegg,Leivo,Ashton.

How many actual centre prospects do we have other than Colborne. Colborne will probably end up being our 3rd line centre next year.

Also don't know what's going on behind the scenes either. What if we interviewed Gauthier and he said (frank) Toronto, I hate those blue and white motherf-uckers. Never know lol

Rychel sounds like a nice pick. Put up 87 points with Windsor this year. Any players coming out of London or Windsor are fine by me. Too bad Domi and Horvat won't make it. What a year to finish 5th in the east, jesus christ

You take the best player available with your 1st rounder...regardless of position. No one's going to play in the NHL for at least 3 years...a lot can change in that time.

honestly, if you told me that was him I'd have a hard time arguing it

Tough one.... I think Kulemin has some pretty good value for the leafs at a good rate.... but the drat is deep... not sure we could replace kulemin yet our prospects are too young

- Big_Lightnin

That is a little harsh.... He is a 3rd line player... and the oilers second this year is like a 20-30 in a regular draft....

- Big_Lightnin

True enough, might be his doppelganger like Paul MacLean's


*Actually (frank) that might be him when he was injured in the leg...*

nice location

I am surprised it doesn't say eating sausage with Ramsey.

Not even close? You're that attached to a 10 goal guy playing on the 3rd line?

- jribout

the draft isn't smaller

They won't likely get a player as good as him with that pick, and the team will be far worse for the trade.

Hence, not even close.

hmmm. Guess I misread this situation. He's included in every leafs proposal you see here, I though you guys were ready to dish him.

no, but not giving away the best defensive winger on the team for a 2nd round pick either. That's a terrible trade for the Leafs at this time.

Will we keep him after next year? What do you think he will get on the free agent market?

My best guess ...

McLaren 750k
Orr 750k
Fraser 1.25 x 2 years
Franson 2.75 x 2 years
Kadri 2.75 x 2 years
Gunnarson 3.5 x 3 years

Do that ...pencil in a couple of depth guys for the press box, buy out Liles and Komisuckit and they'd have about 13-14 milly to spend on two forwards (one centre, one winger) and one dman (top four).

Cheque please.

- Morris

cause of all the basis in reality most proposals in here have?

He's too valuable to the Leafs to give away for a pick. Komarov is going back to KHL.

Removing Kulemin also means they've lost 2 of their top 4 PK forwards. Bozak being a 3rd.

Plus he can play anywhere in the lineup. Can't trade a player like that for a 2nd round pick and leave hole in the lineup.

Just doesn't make sense.

We need more of his type.

Agreed.
