the scouts don't get to make trades
- Big_Lightnin

true but the pro scouts make suggestions on those as well.. Like who watched Jeff Finger, and Luca Caputi and gys liek that and said.. Oh yeah pull that trigger.

From what I hear Burke is considering Grig, only if Forsberg is gone before 5th. Faksa is also a possibility at 5 but Burke is very high on Reinhart and Reilly so another good chance of a D prospect!

I'm talking more of the trading part, but all depends on who is picked, right?

does anyone else have a certain bonnie tyler song on a loop in their head?

you're talking about subban arent you?
- Dozzer

I would think Vas will be already gone in 1st round....so either Subban or Dansk early 2nd

hmm, holding out for a hero?, Total eclipse of the heart? ahh it's a heartache

If he dropped out of the top-15 I'd be shocked.
- AdamFrench

ok....press was all over him yesterday...I never heard of him till then

Isn't a top 5 pick something to be happy about ?
- hunglikeapuck

It's a reward for failure, but I get what you mean.

@JimLang590
By a wide margin, people I polled this morning have little confidence in Burke and the #Leafs. All that could change with one huge deal.

@JimLang590
If - and its a big if - but if Burke can hit a home-run with a massive deal the #Leafs nation will feel better about their chances.


Do people really just want a big deal for the sake of a big deal?

He might be the best Zemgus in the draft.

- IGNITE

if they're taking Faksa, they better be trading down to get another asset.

Yeah seems like gal an yak are the only two forwards who are sure things. I think the negative opinions or grig is over the top though , leafs will grab him and he'll will people wrong.

Dear Lou,

After things settle everybody will love the pick, until three years from now when he is a bust.

Rinse and repeat.

Yours truly,

love to know if "the people he's polled" are just call-ins or does he actually mean hockey people. Most likely fans, who don't know poop.

and yes, most just want a big trade to say "look what we did!"

cause he's gotta be brave
and he's gotta be cool
and he's gotta be larger than life

My prediction Forsberg at 5 and Dansk at 35.
