Guys. Prospects are just prospects.

Unless they're Chabot. His prospects are so prospective it's prospectacular.

You have to upgrade the defensive part of that pool. Zaitsev might as well not even be included in the list of prospects as we all know he'll be in the top 6 and most likely 3-4. There's not much quality there.

Our plan for D is to trade our prospects for them...its ok.

Or JVR......JVR for a meh Dman......that seems to be a popular thought on here lately.

I wonder what's Bruiniak's opinion of the Leafs prospects.

"The Leafs had eight players(Marner, Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen, Jeremy Bracco, Connor Brown, Andreas Johnson, Scott Harrington, Brendan Leipsic) ranked in ESPN’s top 100 prospects one year ago and an honorable mention in defenseman Travis Dermott (including Marner and Nylander in the top 10). "

Traded to Blue Jackets for Rychel.

Does that mean he didn't count as a leafs prospect last year?

I think you undervalue Lindholm here. I get JVR is a very good asset, but you're asking for their best Dman in a trade. Unless contract talks start becoming contentious, I don't see a world where they'd trade him. He's already at least a top-30 Dman in the league (I'd argue top-20 even) and he's only 22.
- MaximumBone


yes

There is no way the Ducks trade him, especially not for JVR who has astounding value among Toronto fans, and not all that much value anywhere else.

Leafs depth is very good as well.


Toronto has the best farm system in the NHL and it isn't close. Based on my prospect definitions, there are zero reasonable arguments for anyone to even be in the same conversation. Not only do they have a ton of elite talent in players like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander, but their depth is elite too. There are at least 20 prospects in this system that would fit in many other teams' top 10.

You know who else he really liked, and was pissed when the Leafs let him go.

Stralman.

Yeah, that guy would look pretty good on the Leafs blue line right about now.

Yup. Keller is more skilled than Dubois... it just comes down to size with him.

Amazing how finishing out of the playoffs for years makes the Leafs one of the best teams in terms of prospects. Don't get me wrong, Matthews, Marner and a few others are legit NHL players but if you get the first overall pick and don't appear in the "top prospects" list the following year, there's something seriously wrong. Unless of course you are the Edmonton Oilers and it takes 4 times getting the first overall pick and still managing to miss the playoffs.

Prospects aren't NHL players people. They are just that, PROSPECTS.

UG just wanted the Leafs to actually play their prospects. It wasn't about whether they were good enough. He wanted the real rebuild and not just letting them rot and then trading them.
