Or maybe, just maybe draft one this year, okay? See where I'm going with this? Then draft one, wait for it....next year, too. And boom goes the dynamite.

not now, maybe 1, where you gonna put them all?

Junior, Junior, Junior.....then ECHL and AHL.

How many draft picks do you have? How many goalie prospects?

I think if you draft 3 in 2 years you should get one good prospect out of it.

Lou will solve that with just one visit. It's amazing what one can do with a simple baseball bat.

Yeah, I don't want to sound like every Leafs fans since 1991, but frank, if we can just get one more top-4 defenceman, this team will be watchable next year.

I mean, they were franking putrid last year. I stopped watching.

Will they make the playoffs next year? Maybe, maybe not.

But at least I know I'm watching a product that will grow and get better. Not that bunch of crap castoff placeholder arse-faces that wore the blue and white last year.

- Atomic Wedgie


At least last year there was a system and they were trying, and you could giggle at Babcock's permanent 'where-did-I-leave-my-damn-keys' expression. But yeah, I could definitely be accused of not watching the games. I mainly got the gist of it by refreshing this thread.

The Horachuk half season was...I don't know...the best way I could describe it would be being force fed dog poop, dog poop that was squeezed out of your own dog's bumhole by the car that ran him over in front of you, a really expensive car that was driven by a guy getting road head from your ex-girlfriend. I expect this year to be much better.

The last backup goalie the Leafs traded for and signed worked out so well, so why not try it again?? LOL

Anderson is a huge goalie and built like an NFL Linebacker at 6'4" 240lbs. He's only 26 and could improve with the starting job guaranteed and no pressure from a guy like Gibson and outplayed by Pekka Rinne this spring. Though, he got absolutely picked apart by the Hawks in the 2015 WCF and has had a sub .920 save % in his first two seasons (with a superior defense in front of him compared to Morgan Reilly and...??). Also, seems like a bit of an overpayment on AAV+term for a guy that has 2 years of NHL experience and was splitting time in Anaheim. Good Luck!

Not all of them. Let's just revisit history a bit.

Leafs had Pogge and Rask, two high end goalie prospects. One worked out, the other didn't.

I didn't say use a high pick. Use the right pick to get the best goalie in the draft. Easier said than done
