there's a few guys I'd take ahead of Domi... Horvat, Rychel, etc...

there's a real risk with Domi, that at 5'9" that he'll suffer playing against what are significantly larger faster defensemen in the NHL than junior.... great kid but at that size its a worry.

He's short but he's not weak, or small. He's fast too. Not picking him is like when the islanders passed on Parise because he was too small.

- MapleLeafsFTW


okay - understood.

what are the Leafs organizational two biggest needs?

1) small, gifted, fleet footed offensive player?????????
2) #1 center - like Vincent LeCavalier?
3) #2 D man

pick two of the three?

Read that the Leafs are looking at moving to 8-11 for Domi.

Dear god it's insanity.

no Domi at <15

He won't be available at 21 so it's someone else's problem

I was going to rip you a new one, until I remembered you are a fairly recent immigrant.

The correct reference is the Leafs passing on Sakic.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to draft Domi. I'd take Rychel if he's still around. But I'd also be working my ass off to try and get some more picks in this draft.

If Kennedy could get a 2nd, i'm sure Phaneuf could get the Leafs a mid 1st round pick.

If you're under 5'11 you need to have a lot more than just kick-ass junior teammates in order to justify spending a good pick on you and giving you a shot in this league
