I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not.

Button has them getting Sandin. I don't think he lasts that long

Maybe Woo, Alexeyev or Samuelsson?

I've already talked myself into the 3 guys I mentioned, so if the Leafs take someone else, I'm probably gonna be disappointed.

Tanev-



Lupul-

(For the Gull)

Was “(For the Gull)” really necessary?

This is what we do every year. Pick names we know NOTHING about and then hope they get that guy.

Never have so many ignorant people had such strong opinions as draft season on Hockeybuzz.

Not sold on Tanev with the whole durability factor and likely cost is just too much.

On center, HELL NO to Thornton. Same as has been said he doesn't have the wheels anymore.

Honestly at center, Stastny I would say they should look at. Plenty left in the tank, can play a second or third line role, and contribute and can keep up too which he proved with the Jets. Think you have Matthews, Stastny, Kadri up the middle that would not look too damn bad with the wingers we have surrounding them.

Very true.

Although, I've watched a lot of games involving Merkley. Also a lot of Bouchard, but there's pretty much a 0% chance of the Leafs getting him. As much as I'd love it if they did.

I just think that Woo could be Matt Dumba-like. We could use an RHD with that skillset.

speaking of skillset, that Kotkaniemi guy looks an awful lot like Matthews by the way he plays..
