Canucks gave up Mcann for the same player

Jacob Middleton eligible for this draft after not signing with LA (7th rounder). We should grab him in the 7th round. Screw it.

At least you'll have a shot at making the team this year.

Rather look for skill, but at least it wasn't 1st round. Stanley not impressed.

Leafs lacked size in every area in the organization - addressed! good move! I'm sure Hunter drafted size with skill, not a bunch of thugs. Have faith.

when's the next pick?

Exactly. Just because small with skill can work doesn't mean only small guys have skill. Size is always going to be desired.

Jim Rutherford just told me that MA Fleury will start the season with the Penguins.

Middleton sounds like nothing but size, but will give time to see how it works out.

At least it is better than the "safe" picks like Biggs or Gauthier.
