Tampa and Minn have two games in hand, the Isles and Habs have one game in hand

I still think that we will drop to the 3rd pick. We stink too much not to have a lottery pick at least.

Montreal is only 3 pts behind

be fun if that last game of the season is for the 3rd overall pick

Hopefully the Sabres will play a 3 point game with the Habs tonight allowing them to get 2 points behind us. While still getting 4 points behind the Sens.

as much as I would love to see the Leafs pick in the top 5, take a look at who our GM is. His ego is the size of texas. He'll trade the pick.
- dinglynutz


Well, we use it to draft a potential #1c or we trade it (plus) for Getzlaf (#1c....)
Either way, it's going to work out.

no it won't. Only way Burke trades that pick is for Getzlaf or Nash

but if you think he's going to trade the 1st anyway, better it's a higher pick for better return, right?

let's draft dumba and make him play center
- XxHarounXx



Doesn't matter who we pick, the media will scrutinize it and declare that pick a failure within a year.

But if another team were to take that same player, the media would scrutinize the Leafs for years on end for missing out on a franchise player who will change the face of the game.

At this point, I would rather have Getzlaf no question about it.

Somehow if we can pry Hiller out of there too would be nice.

We need the Getzlaf route....... Anything we draft won't be a 1C, if they pan out to that, for at least 3 years

I can't take another 3 years of this poop

Did I mention anything about Burke Trading? Nope sure didn''t

I was referring to if the game was for who got to pick 3rd overall, The Leafs would win it.

I would rather that not even be a possiblity.

I'm not sure the big hangup on the number 1 center though.

Lupul/Kessel obviously don't need a number 1 center, just a guy with some defensive responsibility and faceoff prowess.

Our offense was pretty good before the collapse.

I prefer a big time goalie over a center right now.

Nope...you guys are all delusional Leaf fans...so typical your thought patterns are

The Leafs wont successfully lose...common now...just like the Leafs couldnt successfully play out the rest of the year to make a playoff appearance. Get real boys...this team is fighting for 10th spot and you know it.

So quit thinking were gonna get a high draft pick, quit thinking were gonna get Getzlaf and quit thinking positive things...be more...U_Gesque

I want Reimer to keep getting lit up the way he is.

I don't want any doubt going into the offseason that there is a goalie issue.

God forbid he finish the season with 3 straight shutouts or something.

Kessel needs a guy with grit...that line needs a big body who can punish guys, work the corners and crash the net....HARD

If we could get someone like Getzlaf, it solves a few problems

One, we get that big stud centre with defensive responsibility, plus it frees up Kessel from the likes of Chara etc.

Second, he becomes our captain....... a true captain, not the one that merely has a C on his sweater

Third, this allows us to drop Bozak down the third line
