If the Leafs have such a deep prospect pool and a lot of draft picks stocked one would think they would package their later picks and lower end prospects in an attempt to move up and get more quality before their farm gets crowded and potentially impedes development of depth prospects.

I agree, but on a more basic level, if they want to promote their good jr prospects to the A (or ECHL), they'll need pro contract space to begin with, which indicates to me they're gonna start trading some dudes from the last two drafts and some picks.

Some of those aren't really nicknames, just was they are called on these boards.

Not necessary yet when they can move out Leivo, Sam Carrick, Percy, etc. Guys that Leafs drafted a few years ago but have been passed on the depth chart by guys like Connor Brown, Soshnikov and Connor Carrick

I've been married for a long time so your comment is spot on...

Tell me something. What's with maple leaf fan's and media's propensity to have really cool nicknames for mediocre talent?

Optimus Reim
Captian Crunch - who was this?
The Monster - given the nickname pre-Leafs
Killer - given the nickname pre-Leafs
Cujo - given the nickname pre-Leafs
Stumpy - given the nickname pre-Leafs
The Cat
The Markham Machine - not his nickname

- bloatedmosquito
