I’m hoping Bischel is our Swiss Parayko.

Who are peoples 3rd round targets? I think I've settled on Paul Ludwinski. Love his playstyle and think it'll translate well to the NHL.

Thats the thing about who’s available at 25. If they had all their flaws worked out they’d likely go top 10 or 5 for that matter. You take the guy with the best tools and hopefully flaws that can be improved upon. If they feel that’s Denton, then great!
I’ve seen some mixed reviews of his D, with some being very negative and some pointing to some good aspects as well. I have high hopes for him personally.
He’s one of the best skaters in the draft and worth taking a chance on depending on who else is there in the 3rd.

Figure he wouldn't be there for us but sounds like a delicious cheese haha.

Yeah his skating is one of the first things you notice about him but I just love his hustle on the forecheck and on the backcheck and how he doesn't give his guy space when he's defending and takes the body instead of swinging his stick at them and skating by. I think he still has some untapped offensive potential as well because he performed well during the playoffs this year and I feel like a lot of OHL guys might get overlooked because they didn't play any games last year. Blows my mind people out there actually think Wright shouldn't go 1st overall over Slafkovsky.

I agree with Dubas we just need to draft best player. There’s no need to rush anyone into the NHL.
This draft is probably going to have some later round Russians in the future be draft steals. I think teams will be avoiding Russians and some team is going to get a good one late.
For the prospect experts what has happened to Brad Lambert? He seems to keep dropping in the rankings throughout the year.

Simply answer: He sucked.
Slightly longer answer: He has a ton of skill, which is why he is still a guy who could very well go in the top half of the draft, but he has a ton of flaws (and some are major red flags, like his ability to make proper reads).
I hope a team above us drafts him, because I don't see the Leafs taking a chance on him. We don't draft guys who are pure skill and lack basic intangibles.

Unless they deal the pick expecting nothing to get excited about for the next week.
Three - four year wait for any return.

What are peoples thoughts on Maveric Lamoureux? Is he worth trading up from our 3rd rounder into the 2nd to get? 6’7 RHD, seems like a good risk to take.

This tweet actually made me disappointed for the draft. Not sure if that's a justified feeling but it screams Amirov over Schneider/Mercer. I know Amirov's development was unpredictably derailed but Schneider/Mercer both looked like home runs on draft day and look the same way 2 years later.

It's f***ing embarassing Consentino and Button make money scouting prospects. What in the f*** kind of blurb is that?
I think most of the experts around here wouldn't even draft him with the last pick in the draft. Poor skating, poor puck skills, horribly bad IQ, but he's massive so he'll be a top 60 pick.
