Yes it is. Completely different.

Probably harder...because they are younger players with less of a body of work than a 17/18 year old.

NHL drafting might be a walk in the park comparatively.

we shall agree to disagree on this one then good sir

i guess i just don't see how something like that has anything to do with the nhl draft. majority of those guys are nobodies.

Both drafts involve drafting players that are totally unproven to play/perform at the next level. The ability to see something that makes one think the next step will be successful.Hunter has proven that at the first level(OHL) no reason to think he couldn't do the same at NHL draft level..


Time will tell..He certainly seems to have been successful in last summer draft..

and lets not forget the Luck thing...

Yep...

Some of the leaf fans need to geta reality check here... There is a plan in place! We took still last year and we took size with skating ability this year. Not a single one of you knows more then Hunter and Co. I trust in their choices because in the last 2 years they have made me believe that this is going to get better!

Stop bashing everything and just sit back and enjoy this work of magic people.

I for one also liked the trade today too! Harrington was potentially going to get claimed of waivers anyways.

having guys ready a bit sooner than later could be the strategy here

the leafs have a lot of young prospects that could turn into players on lucrative deals in a few years

instead of allowing themselves to get into a cap crunch situation they stockpile good young talent that could be developed into depth roles on cheap contracts.

i think this draft was about future cap management

i have nothing to back this up with... just a thought

This kid is creeping me out.
