Hartman???
- Phenom

he was on their site roster, only played 5 games this year, thought he played more. was drafted 30th overall in 2013, so still a young prospect. my bad.

was just reading the coyotes blog on here, talking about how they've done since that team was move to arizona in 96 with top 10 selections.

since 96, the leafs have had 5 top 10 picks, which include:

Nik Antropov- 10th overall, had some decent years with the leafs but injuries plagued him.
Luke Schenn- 5th overall, good rookie year, didn't mesh well with wilson, trade for JvR so can't complain
Nazem Kadri- 7th overall, decent 2nd line center, good offensive upside
Morgan Rielly- 5th overall, has had 2 very good seasons for the leafs already, looks like he can be one of our top pairing guys,
William Nylander- 8th overall, had a good rookie campaign when he came over from SHL to the AHL. 32pts in 37 games as an 18 year old is nothing to scoff at.

surprisingly, the leafs have done fairly well with who they have selected in the top 10 since 96 till now. schenn being parlayed into JvR also helped.

Everybody needs to calm down. They're gonna draft who they wanna draft. They know what they're doing and if you listen to Dubas, it will likely be Marner if he's available. He said you always draft skill because it's easier to acquire size later if need be.
- Phenom

It certainly does sound like he's the player they want.

26 more days until "YAY!"

that beer bong, pretty sure some kid made one for Snoop Dog and thats how the idea came to market.

If you are some weirdo who is at work today

DONT WATCH THIS

I think it's pretty even.. I would like a little more with the JVR maybe.. Like a 3rd rounder.

JVR > #6 + Gelinas

People say McDavid inflated Strome's points. The only time they played together was on the PP. Strome's ES PPG was 1.16, and Marner's was 0.98. Not saying Stromes better. I think they do need to pick him though, because this is the chance to get that #1 C. People comment on how bad of a skater Strome is, but all the scouting reports say he is a strong skater. He's just the slowest out of the top 5. He could also work with the Leafs skating coach. She is very, very good.

Top 10 picks should be no brainers

Antropov could have very likely been more of an impact player if not rushed. His early career knee injuries slowed him - and he was already not the quickest guy. Had he not had those injuries could have been a really solid 2nd line center for a number of years.

- PinkSock

that's pretty much true... and they have been for the Leafs.

except about 2/3 of them in the past 25 years have been traded away.

I liked Antropovs cycle game, was really effective decent player

Tor-Kessel

Florida-11th overall pick,gudbranson,hyman

Tor-JVR

NJ-6th overall pick

Tor-Phaneuf 1.5mil retained, Tyler bosak 1 mil retained

Det-19th overall, Pulkinnen ,Weiss

Leafs draft:

Marner 4th overall
Hanifin/Provorov 6th overall
Barzal/Rantenan 11th overall
Nick Merkley/Kyle Connor 19th overall
Oliver Kylington 24th overall

I'm sure some will bash this.. But, I think these are realistic trades that I'm praying can happen in the next month. I know people don't want to retain any salary on players. To be honest, it won't matter because we will not need the salary for 4-5 years anyways
- Canadianleaf

nobody should be bashing this - then again the Canuck fans aren't awake yet.

think the Kessel deal is a little light... swap Hyman out for Pirri, maybe add a 3rd

Top 10 picks should be no brainers
- PinkSock

i don't agree with that. generally outside the top 3 is tough to predict. only in deep drafts should top 10 picks be no brainers. there are so many top 10 picks who have amounted to nothing even in the past 10 years alone.

05 draft:
Pouloit, 4th overall, he's a third liner, not what you expect from a 4th overall selection.
Brule, 6th overall, bust
Skille, 7th overall, bust
Setoguchi, 8th overall, 1 good year, then bust
Lee, 9th overall, bust

thats just 1 draft, i could go through the rest if you'd like

there are so many top 5 that have amounted to nothing too

i liked antropov, and i wish they didn't rush him either.

so go do it for top 5...sure not ever player turns out, no one said EVERY player, but for the most part they should be easy picks to make...kinda like how the Leafs are not putting piles of time into their pick this year and all the time into the Preds pick we got..

- PinkSock

so you can't say they are no brainers

leafs have done well considering this, with the top 10 picks they have made in the past 20 years.

i never said anything about top 5, i said top 10, and you said they should be no brainers, meaning every team who has a top 10 pick should hit every time.

yeah I can, and did, like I said even the Leafs are not putting piles of time into their early pick and all the time into the late 1st

so ? not really sure where your going with this, top 3 top 5 top 10, early picks are easy to make

how hard is that to grasp holy (frank)

yeah I can, and did, like I said even the Leafs are not putting piles of time into their early pick and all the time into the late 1st

so you are neglecting the fact that in 1 draft alone there were 5 busts in the top 9 (not considering luc bourdon at the 10th selection).

top 3 should be given, top 5 a little more unknown, top 10 is a wash. could be good, could be bad.

have a good day (frank)faces im off to go fishing

probably because hunter and dubas have already scouted strome and marner numerous times that they already know who they want. marner comes from hunter's organization, he doesn't need to put any time into scouting for him.
