Wouldn't Edmonton then need a center?
- stormey



Yup.

Don't have anyone else really suited for the 2C spot.

How did they not win the lottery to get Hall and RNH? Even if you finish last, you still have to win a lottery to pick first, even if your odds are significantly better at doing so.

Did some digging but not official, Cody Franson, Nikolai Kulemin, Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens, Jussi Rynnas, and Korbinian Holzer have all been qualified.

Matt Lashoff, Marcel Mueller and Mark Fraser it looks like have not been qualified.

Not 100% positive yet.

- LeafMan


When did Holzer get qualified? As of last evening, I think he hadn't been.

He grew up in Vancouver dreaming of playing for the Canucks.

And by "Canucks", I mean "Leafs."

Has anyone mentioned yet that he is willing to play for the Leafs for less?

I find it funny how the fans of every team latch on to one reason why he'll come to their town, and cling to it like a fat kid with a donut.

Apparently Schultz is dying to come to Toronto, because "his best friend" is already here. Do we really know they are blood brothers?

Or Ottawa, because he likes Beaver Tails.

Or wherever, for whatever reason.

C'mon, people, relax. We have no idea what the kid is going to do - heck, I don't think the kid knows yet.

See you next week.

It's ottawa becuase he's dying to play with Erik Karlsson...or Filip Kuba, I couldn't remember which one.

Btw, VAN asking for Bjugstad, first rounder and a good roster player. Makes no sense for FLA.

They mentioned in the Sun that Nonis confirmed in an interview that Holzer was qualified.

Nonis said that 6 were qualified. Those are the names I came up with digging around.

Sour grapes from the Ducks.

He can't give his word on anything while he is in the NCAA.

Ducks had his rights. They blew it. End of story.

- Atomic Wedgie


Fair enough, I just think it's hilarious how quickly most Leafs fans (not all) flip-flop depending on their motives and agenda...

Schultz to T.O. = "He's amazing, he was born to be a Leaf!
Schultz elsewhere = "He's an unproven loser and a bust!"

L. Schenn in T.O. = "He's the next Adam Foote with elite shutdown potential!"
L. Schenn in PHI = "Always sucked, too slow, overrated!"

JvR in T.O. = "So much untapped potenital, Burke robbed the Flyers"
JvR in PHI = "He's an injury prone bust!"

Luongo in T.O. = "The Leafs will be so much better, a top 10 goalie, PLAYOFFS!!"
Luongo in VAN = "What a choke artist and a hack!"

Sundin in T.O. = "He's the greatest Leaf of ALL-TIME and a Hall of Famer!"
Sundin in VAN = "(frank) YOU MATS!"

Crazy.

Excellent work.

Was kind of worried/confused there re: Holzer.

He's a dink, but I truly believe he has sources in the right places re: Luongo. He's not one to just make poop up. He'll talk circles around stuff, but the Star wouldn't put up with Ek-like rumour fiction.
