I'm entering these predictions into my very own draft contest. I'll post the winner in a day or two after the draft. Good luck, Richard.

Why is it obvious the Leafs won't take a defensemen? Whoever we take won't be on the current roster anyway and you can always make a trade after the fact. I personally believe they will select the best player at number 5 as opposed to the best forward. Atleast that is what I am hoping for.

Not bad, but everyone has the Isles taken a D-man at 4 which is predictable
bc thats what the Isles lack, funny thing is Snow will not draft a D-man that high
unless it was a no-brainer shut-down D-man...ex Doughty, Pronger,etc...

Word in Islander country is Snow trades down an grabs a D-man, or the next best available F at 4
also bc the draft is loaded with D-men

At the #5 spot, I think Reinhart is the best player available. That being said, the Leafs have been trying to find a true #1 center since forever.

Oh yes for sure, we haven't had one since Sundin. But even drafting a Galchenyuk or Grigorenko doesn't guarantee a number one center and they would be 2 -3 year projects. Taking the best player at the 5 spot gives you an asset to put in a trade for a number one center, atleast that's what I would be thinking if I was GM lol. We all know how impatient Mr. Burke can be and I don't see him waiting a couple more years for that impact centerman. Just one mans opinion.

Thats a smart comment, especially considering the fact that he projects to be a decent 2nd line centre....

They'd take Grigs if they wanted a #1

That's who I think they'll pick, he seems to have the highest ceiling.

i like the Penguins pick. Samuelsson will join his brother in the penguins organization. penguins need to draft a guy like this. hopefully he is available.

I don't think Samuelsson goes that high.

I also doubt Dumba falls that far.
