I'm hoping the Leafs target Ryan Miller, Troy Stecher, Daniel Sedin and Alex Burrows of the Canucks.


How about this PRI.CK?

'Matt Martin's dead': Canucks' Gudbranson snaps following loss to Maple Leafs



Again.
- Atomic Wedgie

I would love to draft a top 4 dman.....and we may have....wont know for a while though.
I just find, forwards are easier to replace than D...hence the cost. We need another quality D to help our current young D out.
If lou can do it without costing a roster player.....awesome!
- Fakepartofme

I think your concept of positional demand/scarcity might be skewed by the Leafs. Top 6 C's are just as valuable as top 4 D.

Nashville had a ton of capable Ds, but no top line C, so they traded Seth Jones.

Him, Leipsic and Kappanen would be optimal.. not enough?
Him Kappanen and a first...
- bobbyisno1

ya no 1st.

I dont drink coffee so the analogy was lost on me.
Anyway, I dont want to trade Nylander....Id prefer to keep him.
I just know you have to give up quality to get quality.
I hope our young prospect D turn into what we hope.

But we have quite a bit of forward depth. some will be moved. Who? dunno.
- Fakepartofme

Would rather they move guys like Bozak, Komarov or JVR before Nylander.

Too much.

Swap Kapanen and the OTT 2nd rounder and its the same value CGY gave up for him
- WingmanWillie

could work. let's see what uncle Lou has up his sleeve

Knock there socks off with a huge return for both Hamilton and Brodie.

Leafs give up Jvr, Bozac, gardnier, carrik

I really need a translator...I don't think my previous post was very coherent.
- mykokes

If it was about drafting D almost exclusively like the AA Jays did with pitching, then in this specific example, yes. I would not be upset if they took a D man with every pick this draft.

"With the 12th pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs select every remaining eligible defenceman."

The Leafs are in a spot now where playoffs are possible, You sure that that should be given up.
1 above average defenseman will make the them a lot better.
- bobbyisno1

I would much rather see a cup in 3 years than scrape into the playoffs this year. If the price is ok, Go for it, but don't overpay for a cough up artist like Shattenkirk, and especially don't give up a first rounder unless you are getting a real stud back.

And a 1st?


That's craziness.
- burn

Got to pay for timing too. Nobody ever thinks about that but I guarantee other GM place A LOT of creedance in timing....for good or for bad?!?!

Every GM knows that to perfectly round out the Leafs roster as a CUP team in a few years, we need a young Top 4 D NOW! It would be perfectly timed with our young forward core and new #1G.

To get that...if available NOW but honestly I don't really know if Hamilton is that good but if the powers that be think he is then.....

JVR and a 1st for Hamilton and a 2nd...which will be pretty high 2nd is the better deal.


KEEP NYLANDER!!!

Heck no LOU LUMS you've lost your mind if you think to add a first2017!!

Jvr + carrick + Leivo or interchange Leivo for a second. WE ARE STILL IN REBUILD MODE !------besides Calgary gave up so much to get Hamilton and WHAT is it they don't like in him to unload him so quickly. I'd rather suffer through this season and pick 1-15 and see what's available at seasons end and unload expiring contracts

Did in Detroit as well apparently. I don't get it.

Old School, letting some of the rookies and vets that have consistency issues ride the pines - get some slivers in their ass, just like Montreal did with Lafleur.

So holland who can't even get in the line up is worth a 1st because that's when he was drafted 7 years ago? I see what your trying to say. But no

So what'd you guys think of that waiver claim Seth Griffith?

Was I right in saying he was a steaming pile of garbage?

Based on the 7.5 minutes he played for the team - yup, hot garbage. At least he didn't hurt the team further by bodychecking opponents though.

If you really saw what I was trying to say, then you would know that I don't honestly believe Holland has the same value as a #15 overall. It was a cute coincidence that CGY gave up that position (their 1st 2015) for Dougie while that was the same spot Holland was drafted in.

Furthermore, it was a retread from a comment I made 2-3 pages back that fell through the cracks.

regardless, I know full well Pistol Pete will be lucky to fetch a bag of pucks

It didn't fall though the cracks. I only commented because I saw you posted two different times claiming that. I'm not sure what Hollands value is. But with his cap hit and not being waiver exempt I also don't see us getting much for him. I thought you were full out serious though. And had already researched who Boston took with the pick and was ready to argue. Lol.
