Most of those guys are from the 2015 draft alone.

Andrew Nielsen though
- Whiskey-Tango

Nielsen looked the real deal after he got drafted. Excellent year in the Dub (70P in 71G as a D Man ), and has been enjoying an excellent rookie year with the Marlies

Stecher Tyramin .

Like I said you have been at it for a decade we are at it 3 years
- VANTEL

We've been poop for ten years, rebuilding for 2

But you look at those Leaf rookies that are on the team currently, none of them are any good, none of them.
- Zezel

All the good ones are in the nhl. Will just have to have other players that weren't high draft picks filling out as the role players. I'm not knocking the leafs here. I'm just saying most of their top prospects are now in the nhl. Help is probably a few years away after developing.

And people ask me why you are #2

Is there a good way to break your leg

- VANTEL

Well, there's the "it's fractured and hurts like hell but should be good in 6 weeks" kinda break (which still isn't fun), and then there's the full weight landing on it and crumpling like an accordian break.... which looked to be what Korshkov had

Sorry we don't accept excuses for sucking at tanking .

That's 10 years of sucking and 8 prospects


we have three years of sucking and
Demko
Juolevi
Boeser
Lockwood
Brisebois

We win
- VANTEL

No we dont.
The list i posted is mainly accounting for later round picks in 2015 and does not account for a single 1st round pick (of T.Os), yours has 2 borderline 3 with Demko. More-over, alot of their guys are already in the AHL while only one on our list is (Demko).

Face it, they have better depth and a better prospect pipeline as they have a few years head start on us, how is that so hard to identify?

That's pretty good for the Dub. Carl Neill has 33 points in 26 games in the Q. Too bad his defensive game is still pretty poor.

I don't think TO had any first round picks prior to 2015 they traded them all

Not so much an excuse as an explanation - Nonis and Burke

And yet they are 2 points ahead of us and same number of wins

Sure, if you ignore the 7 rookies currently in the NHL
- lumlums

Exactly.

Holy poop, that's better than third overall forward Pierre-Luc Dubois!!!

Stecher Tyramin .

Like I said you have been at it for a decade we are at it 3 years
- VANTEL

Please.. you know quite well the Leafs are in year 2 of their rebuild and year 3 under Shanny. No doubt there were many years of incompetence prior to this, but at least be accurate.

- VANTEL

Rodrigo Abols now has 14 points in 16 games after having 2 in the first 10 or something. Talk about adjustment period.

This is good


Now can you take this energy and direct it at the Leaf posters.
- VANTEL

I'm following Mar's lead. Hey bud I rolled one up for you and got video of 2016 burning man playing. HB Leafs v Canucks is child's play.

Sometime if a horse breaks his leg, they send him out to stud.

Man, I wish we had Demko. Our main area of weakness is goalie prospects (and it doesn't help when one of the ones we have makes himself a persona non grata* by threatening to beat the poop out of someone online )...



*Nuck4U - "Persona non grata" is Latin, before you start accusing me of some more neo-alt-right-triple-K-ery again

Reid Boucher claimed by the Predators, I was just informed. If there was one player who Van probably could have used. I would have taken that scrap. This team could use another skilled player and sat Jack Skille in the press box or even better Utica.

- Mr_Smokey

Sorry I don't . That might be the koolade Toronto fans are drinking but the rest of the league looks at it as a 10 years of misfortunes and don't buy that.

That is like the Oilers saying they started when McDavid came on board.

For aging veterans.

Now you are comparing apples (NHL) and oranges (Prospects) but I'll bite nonetheless.

So Toronto, whom mainly injected half their top-flight youth onto the roster just a few months ago is only 2 points up on us, where-as, Vancouver is still garbage with our 2 most talented players of the last decade still on the roster and with seemingly no one to replace them.

I wonder how that story is going to play-out over the next few season...
