I wouldn't mind Gryba as some cheap muscle bottom pair. I don't see Pedan as ready

He very well could be a late Bloomer. But the likelihood is he's just a product of great linemates and being 2-3 yrs older then most his competition. I really don't get the Marchand/Shaw comparable. This guy is a honest hard working player. He plays hard all the time and is pure hustle. He shows no indication of being a guy who crosses the line. Probably has a chance to be bottom 6 forward/energy guy.

Yes, too bad we won't have him as depth is always nice but no need for Marwood to lose his poop.

I think we should draft Nylander.. then make a big trade with Toronto to get the other Nylander. Replace the Swedish brothers with Swedish brothers. Think about it.

Nylander(Willy style) is a heartless punk. In the Yashin/Kovalev mold. Kid has some nifty mitts no question. Went to a couple Comets/marlies games over the last couple yrs. He may be the laziest player I've ever seen. This kid makes Eberle look like a Hall of fame defensive player

Yeah, if you can sign him for nothing it's a no brainier.

You have no idea what you're talking about there's a difference between being lazy and making skating look easy. If he was lazy he wouldn't be able to out skate everyone and win almost all his puck races. Also wins alot of puck battles in the corners. Toronto hate.

I think these are relevant for sure but I still think you need to look at them in context. First of all comparing scoring from one league to another is tricky.

The top scorers in the OHL scored quite a bit more and Tkachuk ranks 5th among them with his two line mates at 2 and 3. The top scorers in the Q don't score nearly as much and Dubois ranks 3rd with his line mates 10th and 19th.

They both are clearly the best draft eligible player in their leagues but to say that Dubois's point totals are not even close to Tkachuk's is disingenuous when you look at how each player performs to his peers.

Labanc Barrie 127
Dvorak London 121
Marner London 116
Strome Erie 111
Tkachuk London 107


In the QMJHL

Garland Montreal 128
Perron Rouyn-Noranda 108
Dubois Cape Breton 99
D'Aoust Shawinigan 98
Abramov Gatineau 93

although his stats at all the world tourneys were with different players and they were still on par. Shows it doesnt matter where he plays. When youre at that level and youre getting 4 G in 6 playoff games you gotta like that

We got the best college free agent goalie and D man. Hard to be disappointed with our work on the college free agents. And Bowser and Demko were probably both top 5 players in NCAA this yr. Where getting there

His back checking isn't not skating. It's not trying period. Not being able to catch guyswho are journymen thug ahl D men has nothing to do with hs skill. He could catch them if he wanted to, just doesn't care.
But hey He's the best prospect in the universe if it makes you hard

No doubt he is a hell of a talent, I said a couple of blogs ago that they are very different playing styles and will come down ti what the team who picks covets more ...not that it matters to us as we get whoever is leftover.

- Bieksa#3

Yeah that's not true at all. He wouldn't of been playing as much as he did to end the year under Babcock if that was the case. You have probably hardly ever watched the kid. He's the leafs currently 2nd top prospect and going to be 3rd right away. Just cause he would be hands down Van's top prospect doesn't make him the best in the universe come on.

I doubt he is ahead of Boeser at this point, definitely not ahead of Demko, and will be behind either Dubois or Tkachuk, which ever we get.

Yeah ok. Go look at any prospect list and tell me who's ahead. Nylander is usually rated as a top 10 prospect on most to all lists. I'm sure boeser can't wait to sign with you guys after your fan bases is ripping up his buddy on Twitter. Friedman calls it pretty embarrassing

Did I say that? You're just hating cause he plays for the leafs. He's the exact opposite of what you say, all I've ever seen is how he's the first one on at practice and stays late to shoot pucks after and works harder then most off the ice, so keep speaking your blind hate

- belcherbd

Confident we still come out on top....our drafting is better than oilers.
Its possible there are surprises from top seeded teams that dont pick who we'd expect and push the rest down the line. If oilers pick a D we can take tkachuk....IF another makes a surprise we COULD end up with puljijarvi....Id say 2nd part is unlikely though. We never know either, JB could take a D or move up in draft even.
I say stay where we are and try to acquire extra pick.
