Man...I was over at capgeek and does Detroit ever look good contract wise...I wish the leafs could have management like them.

Man wasn't Burkie cleaning up the mess that JFJ left him with the Leafs lousy cap situation? Now Nonis has screwed up the Leafs cap again.

Ekblad
Reinhardt
Bennett
Draisaitl
Dal Colle
Virtanen
Ritchie/Ehlers
Ehlers/Ritchie
- BetterCallSaul

Could see Ritchie and Ehlers both going ahead of Virtanen. But also Nylander could go to someone Like Carolina maybe Vancouver? Will be interesting the top 5 prospects look pretty set, then who knows

He's going to need a great skating teacher & not the one Yannick Perrault used. Too bad cause Perrault was a pretty good player, great at faceoffs but his awful skating shortened what could have been a nice long career.
- GCHonda

He played 859 games over 14 years..... that's a pretty long career.

Yeah...he was doing pretty well until Nonis blew his load all over Clarkson.

To his defense, he did have the cap shrink and Clarkson wasn't expected to be this bad...

It's going to be interesting to see what happens after the top 5 or so, there could be a guy that jumps up out of nowhere that goes ahead of the Leafs that pushes someone down (Like when Hickey was drafted) that they weren't expecting.

No one is getting Rielly. A potential all star defensmen and he is 20 years old.

Yes REILLY GOES NO WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure Virtanen is a type of prospect the Canucks don't have, and I'm pretty sure he's a hometown pick. That kid looks like he'll be a top 6 winger.

yeah, but you're getting couts

He could have made a better impact instead of being a journey man if his skating was better.

yeah, but you're getting couts

Ohhhhh I love Reilly but I love Coots tooooo, what a dilema, I'm sooooooo confused!!!!

True, he's someone I wouldn't mind Leafs picking either.

People want to play there. People need to be paid to play here.

Ok we will throw in Macintyre

Gauthier's skating at the WJC was not even approaching pro level. Will he ever play significant time for the Leafs?
- fifty__missions

nope

No thanks. You don't trade 20 year olds with potential like that.

i think lots of leafs fans would take couts complete two way game over potential

No way. Future all star defensmen and an 8th pick that could get us an elite power forward in Ritchie or something like him for a future 2nd line center an overplayed winger in downie and a low first rounder. No way
