think he's suggesting maybe some people will say the knights intentionally tanked the kids draft value so leafs could get him late? would anyone be surprised if some of the goofier sabres or nucks fans said that?

It's the leafs so someone will always complain.

They sat him so no one else would see talent and draft before leafs...It's a Hunter cheating thing

Reading some of Hunter's comments about the overage thing. Kids that yeah, weren't drafted last year, but a year later they are leading their teams and have had a big upswing since they didn't get drafted. It's an interesting thought.

Leafs think they're smarter than everyone else. Either they'll look stupid or they'll start a new trend. We'll know in a few years or so.

I'm getting (frank)ing stoked. Matthews, Nylander, Marner...they will be fun to watch next season and going forward have the potential to shred the gnar. Rielly a year older, Kadri, JVR...a goalie that stops pucks. Not making any predictions about standings but if nothing else, I'll be watching intently this season. That's big change. Rogers is gonna make their money back now.

The Russian bobylov first year really low, maybe he had bad transition to NA? He stepped up and improved, so maybe he's got more room to develop.

Trend setting pick. From now on teams will only draft the best player available with the 1st overall pick. Edmonton could've used that strat in the RNH and Yak drafts.

Think they took more than the avg, but much more overagers taken this year.

Hunter alluded to it being already a trend. I don't know how many other teams did it. Yeah who knows how any of these picks will work out. If a couple of the big guys work out, that helps. I can see the logic behind it.

London (hunter) drafted the mattinen kid. Barely played this year. Leafs (Hunter) drafted him. Someone gonna complain if he pans out that the leafs used London to hid the kid and no one knew enough about him to draft him.

You just know it'll happen.

Wasn't the league considering making it that you can only draft 17 or 18 year olds in the 1st round and after that only 19+?

That sounds familiar. It makes sense to me, if a guys a year older and is doing really well, why not take a shot. All these picks other than Matthews are a slot machine anyway.
