You have just been nominated for an Eksie Award.

Dude, we both know the award never leaves your house. You're the champ. Also....where can I get my own Atomic Wedgie tailor made "Komarov sucks" tshirt?

Most Leafs who do well in junior end up as giant busts once they get to the NHL.

Like that midget Marner....

Besides, Nielson looks like he's 12 years old:

They probably wouldn't have taken Konecny even if they kept that pick. No point in lingering on the what ifs.
- BetterCallSaul


The team needs d-men now anyways. Dermott should turn out to be a good pick. Same with Nielsen. And who knows, maybe Bracco helps land another d too.

Mike Babcock worries about his goaltenders but he won't say it!

Why wouldn’t Babcock be frolicking behind the Leafs bench? Last year’s team had barely any offensive touch or hope compared to this year’s young roster full of young stallions.

starting to sound a little bit like Garth there, man. Next you'll be praising Marner's jock for the solid performance it has in protecting his precious jewels

Marner's been carrying Bozak all season, that's why he looks better
- WingmanWillie



Stop....every time the guy does anything someone else gets the credit...but when his line's poop it's his fault.

Top 7 rookies in scoring:

Laine
Marner
Nylander
Werenski
Matthews
Vesey
Konecny

3 of 7 are Leafs.

We could have had Konecny if Dubas wasn't such a genius.

And there was (once upon a time) the possibility of us signing Vesey.

Wild, wacky stuff.

P.S. Zaitsev is 3rd in scoring by rookie D.

- Atomic Wedgie

Yup.
Wasnt impressed with dubas not taking konecny

Because they said after the draft that the player they would have taken at 24 was available at 34. So they would have taken Dermott and not gotten Bracco and the Dzierkels. They may have made a mistake with not taking Konecny, but we can't know that yet. People should stop making assumptions about a prospect's projection after 15 games. Dermott could be better. Konecny could be the end all be all that is a hockey player. Who knows. The Leafs had a plan and they stuck with it. I don't fault them for that.

Yes and no.


Bozie is many things (good defensively is not one), but he is a guy with a well-sustained high shooting %. Having a set-up guy like Marner helps, especially as his line is no longer matched against top lines (as it was before).

Bozak is good defensively, but when you play with Kessel for five years your defensive stats won't look so good.

He is what he is.

NHL caliber, decent offensively, bad defensively
