Scouting Report

[A1LeafNation]

Off the board

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

Who?

 

[Willy Stylez]

Intresting choice. Don't know much about him.

 

[leafsrule123]

Didn't see that coming...probably could have got him in the 5th round lol

 

[Darth Menace]

I dont know anything about him, but it is upsetting that everyone is dumbfounded. Why?

 

[Banic]

Couldn't they have waited a bit more to get him?

Did they worry someone else was in on him or just didnt want to risk it?

 

[francis246]

has good size, but what a reach. Would have preferred Asplund, Girard, Laberge or Benson

 

[TheOtherSide]

He will be 20 in a few weeks. He could be in the lineup pretty quick...

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Didn't see this pick coming

 

[htpwn]

You guys asked for size... be careful what you wish for.

Seems like a reach at #31.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Means the Leafs are seeing someone no one else is/has

 

[The Magic Man]

Not a smart move. I don't like it. There was a lot of potential here at 31. Maybe there was rumours he was gonna be taken by another team but this isn't smart at all.

 

[Khabby]

WTF? Why not wait for this guy, it's his third time through the draft...

 

[Mess]

6-4" love him

Leafs need size and lots of it.

Had a strong WJC in 2016

 

[Pi]

Russian 6''4. I'll take it. I know nothing about him though.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Our Russian scout is pretty good Korshkov impressed during the WJCs

Turning 20 pretty soon so he could be in the AHL as soon as next season

 

[LeafChief]

 

[stavs*]

wow, so I hope this one pays off. I trust our scouting, but this is kind of a head scratcher

 

[Ruski]

All you folks questioning our team scouts need to chill

 

[WTFMAN99]

We took Matthews, Hunter makes good picks, I trust him even though I wouldn't have went for this guy at 31.

 

[Cor]

Well, we all were asking who Andrew Nielsen was last year.

Hopefully this works out the same

 

[Peasy]

Hes 19
