In my opinion Sandin is a clone of Liljegren, same height and same style of offensive d-man.

I would have taken Valero or McLeod who are big centers that they need.
- bluestar

He isn’t an offensive d-man, though. He’s good defensively and surprising physical.


McLeod sucks.

I wasn’t talking about this year. I should’ve clarified. I was referring to the year he was sent to Pittsburgh for their 1st and then they won the cup. It fit his point well.

They traded for him at 2017 draft, after they won. It was him plus a 2nd for the 31st pick (Kostin) and Sundqvist.

So the offers were underwhelming for Karlsson.

You mean they aren't getting

Barrie,
Makar
Ottawa 1st
Colorado 1st

from the Avs?

Oh my bad. I forgot about the draft, but I didn’t realize a second was included. Thought it was Reaves for the pick straight up.

I was at the draft party that year with a few adult beverages

It always seemed to not add up to me

By few, you mean a lot?

Nashville already had Weber, Josi, Ekholm, and Ellis. Yet they still drafted Jones.


Draft BPA regardless, develop them, then trade for need of equal value.

This is one of the things Dubas said that made me very happy. Never draft for need as your needs change when these guys are hitting the NHL (unless you draft top 2 or 3)

When you get knocked out by the Ottawa Senators in the first round you gotta do something to drown those sorrows.

Gotta cup the balls to pick it up.

LOLtawa > Bruins

Because they covet what they don't have

I think Dermott is better.

Leafs really need dmen.


Draft a dman.


Shoulda drafted a forward

I wonder what they would’ve said if they drafted a forward. Hmm...

What?

Seriously. When did we become so stupid?

It’s really more of a him thing than a we thing.

Andersen just isn’t that good and can’t carry this team. He’s done nothing to prove himself - shoulda drafted a goalie...

I know what I’m buying later...

Maybe Tyler Biggs has re-entered the draft.

We get to draft Middleton and Mattinen so there's that

No need. I heard from a top source that Joe Woll with be the Leafs’ starter by 2020.

He isn’t an offensive d-man, though. He’s good defensively and surprising physical.


McLeod sucks.
- Steven_Seagull

he had 45 points in 51 games, to me that is an offensive d-man, oh well, i hope this kid does well and he seems like a good person too.

Maybe they will draft a center with their 2nd pick.

I know what I’m buying later...

Obviously we’ll learn more today, But there seems to be a growing sentiment that John Tavares will stay with the #Isles

Sounds like a solid pick..well done Oilers..

Na trading to fill a serious need can work as well..Just need to have the right GM..Takes serious time to draft and develop D especially if ya starting from scratch..
