Besides the injury, Rielly was a safe pick. Grigorenko comes with the KHL risk and I'm honestly not 100% sure about Forsberg. Everyone wanted Galchenyuk, but unfortunately Montreal had a higher pick than Toronto... nothing Burke can really do about it.
- WafflesAtACC

I don't buy that and that is where I was disappointed.

I believe they could have swapped with CBJ and it would not cost that much to do it.

Then they scoop the top center out from under Montreal's nose... instead Montreal gets the big impact center and we get yet another dman.

Yes but they picked the wrong guy or two or three..

Why not a defensive defenseman since we don't have any?
- DoctorNHL

But they don't have any good ones. So what does it hurt if they got one that can move the puck?

y all the rage tonight?
you guys could have a better GM like Howson who traded 3 picks for Bobrovsky
man columbus is set in net for years to come

Did you see Murray when they called his name?


'(frank) MY (frank)ING LIFE '

Burke isnt going anywhere and unlike previous GM's he isnt destroying the franchise for short term success. Relax....
- Bigzby

This is a joke right?

Most of the trolls on here go on about Kessel and all the other draft picks given away.. like the high second in a bumper crop for Liles who is a career minus and that cost us too many games last season.

OY, STFU!

Schenn is 22 years old for (frank) sakes and has been playing under Rotten Ronny's disfunctional "offensive" systems. You don't think that as "a shut down d-man" that Schenn won't thrive under Carlyle's defensive systems and focus? FYI, Carlyle won a Norris and knows a few things about defensive and Schenn should stand to benefit from that!

Furthermore, it is widely known that d-man take a little longer to develop. AGAIN, Schenn is 22!!!

I lol'd at Howson saying hi to the fans watching in Columbus and thanking them for their support.

For all we know Galchenyuk might not be nearly as good as we thought....or something.























(frank) it, we'll just break his ACL again for giving Reimer a concussion.


'Hey Alex, meet Ross...he's big and mean.'

You don't have an opinion, be a man and stop female doging. Don't like the team? Find another one to cheer for.

I have more senority.. and little girl dogs like you can do what you do best... take it.. you will like it..

Doing something stupid and irrational is a WAY better idea...
- Bigzby

yes, that is exactly what I was suggesting Burke should do.

I wanted them to package the 5th + Gardiner + Schenn + lottery-protected first rounder next year for Luongo. THAT would have been an impact move!

Homer.

All the people mad at the pick now, will be thanking Burke for this pick later on. Reilly(like Galchenyuk), was injured for most of the year, yet he was still ranked in the top 10 in every draft. If he played this kid could have went higher. I am more happy with this pick than getting Murray. Forsberg didn't even get picked in the first 10, if Burke really wanted him he would have picked him. Reilly reminds me of Kris Letang. Pure offensive stud, we haven't had one in a while on defense. Gardiner is great, but I think Reilly will put up better numbers. Wait until free agency, and if Burke does nothing on that day, then everyone should be mad.

Holy bud. Ease up on the comparisons. Typical Leaf fan.

It could very well be that Rielly was the best pick of the draft for all we know.

I guess I really just feel that is nothing really hopeful or interesting to look forward to in Leafland.

sherman and howson are top men i tell you, top men

Grigorenko & Forsberg I believe will end up better than Gal.. although I was hoping we would get Gal..
