That was a strange draft, lots of bad picks - including Sam Reinhart at #2 by the Sabres. Even though Nylander was a great pick, Pastrnak at #25 was the pick of the draft. Florida is not going to trade Ekblad.

Boston also got Ryan Donato at 56 Danton Heinen in the 4th rd

Pick of the draft may have been Victor Arvedson at #112 - Nashville

[quote=PatC80]Hold on, never said that they would, I said that if the Leafs are to trade Nylander, that's what they should get in return;

Also, I still don't want to trade Nylander

Neither do I, in the low probability case that Leafs land JT this summer, I would think that Nylander would be packaged to land a d-man. If they consider him a centre, they might look at moving Kadri instead - but only in that scenerio. They might get even more for Kadri.

yeah, that seems to be the move to make. add a ufa forward and trade a forward for a dman.

i'm still not entirely sure why we didn't do that with jvr last summer after signing marleau.

I would think they had higher expectations than being bounced in round one. Shanny wants to win now.

Arvedson was a great pick - and he's very good. Smaller players like Arvedson (think Andreas Johnssnon, Tyler Johnson, Connor Brown, Marchessault - tend to slip to later rounds or are undrafted entirely. Also Pastrnak had 80 points this year.

To be fair to those other players, Pastrnak is listed as 6' 188lbs - not big, but not as small as Tyler Johnson for instance.

They tried to trade JVR for Hamonic, but Calgary went full Burke with their draft picks

I would prefer Nurse over Faulk.

Same, but Nurse still doesn't fix our RHD problem.

The lack of RHD in the league really sucks lol. There is an abundance of LHD.

If the Leafs make a trade with Carolina I'd rather get Pesce over Faulk, hell I'd even be happy with McKeown over Faulk.

Faulk isn't that great anymore and seems to get most of his points on the PP. But I could be wrong about that as I don't keep much tabs on that franchise.

glad burke did something useful for us.


the more i think about, the more i'm glad dubas has the keys to car. lou was ok for 3 years, but good time to move on.

Ardvedson is 5'9" Johnsson is 5'10", Connor Brown was generously listed as 145 lbs when drafted - I get your point, but even though Pasta not big, they are mosquitos compared to him.

I would too - I would think Chiarelli has to raise his hand to go pee-pee after the season that the oilers and especially players he moved in and out had. Not sure if he would get the ok to move their best young d-man.

Not sure who are the saltier asshats that have had unrivaled success and just can't handle it. Penguins or BHawks fans.

Thought that was bad, wait until they win a round.


Also, nothing beats the guy eating horse poop off the ground after the eagles won the super bowl. Craziest fan ever.
