Not at the 8th pick. I'm amazed that neiter Ottawa nor Winnipeg grabbed him.
- Jsaquella

I'm actually so pumped! I'm actually glad we didn't trade Steeg right now!

He's really the type of player they need. He can take over Richards PK duties.
- MJL

yeah. Laich would be a nice add to this roster.

Id KILL for Laich. He is an all around solid power forward. Would solve a lot of our issues with lack of size
- jak521

hellz yea. Love me some laich in the orange and black. A real take one for the team guy ..a lappy type guy.

So who do you have on the PK then....Laich and Steeg, Betts and Giroux? Or some other combination of the 4?

Huh. Burke moved up. Must like a player to give up 30 & 39.

Most definitely. He is also the type of player that Homer said they want. He is a smart true to the game hard working player. He is a very good net presence as well.

All in all. Id take him over Leino

Also Powe, if/when they re-sign him... Nodl too.

Me to. Make the move. Not sure what hes going to command though.

So everybody laichs Laich. I do too. You guys think we can get him? Plenty of teams will want him, probably go to the highest bidder.

Gotta love the two-way game of a kid who put up +62 and +55 in the Q.
- Number23

To be fair the Q is known for the huge offensive numbers...

IDK if his offense will translate, but even if it doesn't a BIG shutdown 3rd line center isn't all that shabby.

No need to kill sign as free agent.

I think that San Jose really (frank)ed the pooch on the Burns-Seto trade.
- Jsaquella

The trade just doesnt make sense to me. They have a pretty solid defense, and with Boyle, they have their go to offensive d-man.

Seto was a hell of a secondary scorer for them

a "character" guy
- aosplayo

he can score too

Wow, glad Burns didnt go to Jersey.......Brouwer worth a 1st? Thanks for filling me in!
- aosplayo

I would have LOVED to see Burns in Jersey...he's a turnstile

thats a steep price for 15 or so spots up for toronto

if toronto wanted a #1 center they could have always overpaid for richie or carter more than the other teams did

Wait what
- mochoson

Didn't u just see? Burke traded his 30th and 39th picks to Anaheim for the 22nd pick.

Wait what
- mochoson

TOR traded picks 30 & 39 to move up to #22

Burkes taking Ty Rattie with one of these picks.

I think Mayfield or Biggs is one of other ones.

So who do you have on the PK then....Laich and Steeg, Betts and Giroux? Or some other combination of the 4?
- aosplayo

Well, one thing about Laviolette that I don't like is that I don't think they should limit it primarily to 4 forwards. I think you should have atleast 3 forward pairings. I would expect Powe and Betts to remain a pair. And if they got someone like Laich, to be paired possibly with Giroux. Versteeg and Nodl could also be worked in.

Most definitely. He is also the type of player that Homer said they want. He is a smart true to the game hard working player. He is a very good net presence as well.

All in all. Id take him over Leino
- jak521

as would I

- Phifly10

this is why their organization is a joke

yeah. Laich would be a nice add to this roster.
- stveshdy

him and konopka would be great adds

him and konopka would be great adds
- isaiah520

For some reason I still think a name player is going to be added to the roster, so Laich could be one of the guys.
