1st- leafs
2nd- devils

4th twice does not equal our 40 something percent chance. Lies and scandal even in simulators

Those results are actually more favourable than reality.

I honesty have no problem falling to 2nd and grabbing Laine.


Something about Matthews sketches me out. Part of it is where he's from. Might want to go home when he can.

Just like every Toronto/Ontario player wanting to come home to Toronto? Yeah. Good point. Idiot.

bernier should go home

He hasn't left to go home from Sweden?

Seems to me that the kid wants to get in the NHL asap and play hockey.

Why else would he go to SHL instead of college or CHL...(not sure if he could play in the CHL with all the rules but I think you get the gist.)

Laine might want to go home too?
- Lee Denault

Also

I just traded Kadri / Gardiner & Rielly time to rebuild the rebuild.

Laine might want to go home too?
- Lee Denault

Laine would be leaving the best league in the world to do that. Matthews wouldn't.


I also like Laine's age advantage.


Most of the issue I think comes from just not knowing how Swiss league translates to NHL. I'll trust the Leafs scouts, whatever the pick.

He wanted to get paid, lol(can't say I blame him).As a first overall, CHL/NCAA rules don't really matter... All him playing overseas means is he can go straight to AHL... Again, not something that should be a concern.

The SM-liiga has given like 1 good forward in YEARS. But yes...all about them, they're great.

Barkov.

You wait till that A(ss)ho arrives!

Oh, and how about Mikko Rantanen!

I know what you're thinking....Kokes! My mortal enemy! My Brother from another mother! Stop arguing with me! We're better when we're working together to bring down Wedgie. Sorry.

Wait until Granlund arrives! Wait until Teravainen arrives! Oh and how about Armia?!

Finland has provided one star forward in 10 years. And he was better in the SM-liiga by a metric (frank) ton (one of the best ever) and the youngest player ever drafted in the top-2.

Come on Frenchie, Raantanen is dominating the AHL at 18. You know he's special.
Same with Aho.

And Granlund is pretty good. Teravainen has looked decent for a 21 yo.
