If any one of these bucket full of Hagrid size defenders turns into a top-4 NHLer one day it's gunna be huge.

 

[Jeypic]

ANother big d man

 

[Cor]

Meh.

 

[RoadWarrior]

I think after Hunter drafted Liljegren yesterday he went out and got drunk last night.

 

[Cotton]

He's got good potential, I remember him on the Bulldogs at the start of the year, can skate well for a big kid.

 

[stickty111]

The only one Im not a big fan of but I trust the scouts on this one.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The leafs are loaded with skill everywhere. Size on defense in a late round is perfectly fine

 

[McMatthews]

I trust the scouts.

I like.

 

[Smif]

Soooo, you're gonna try and tell me he's Canadian??

 

[Neil Hamburger]

We'v been loading up on big boys on the back-end this draft and last.

Rasanen 6'7

Gordeev 6'6

Middleton 6'5

Greenway 6'4

 

[SprDaVE]

Meh. I hope he has a better +1 draft compared to Mattinen and Middleton.

 

[Menzinger]

The scouting reports on this guy are pretty ugly - lots of "big guy who can't come tell the puck".

Guess they maybe see him turning into a 6/7?

Still, but silly to be too critical of a late round picks I suppose

 

[Mess]

Another 6-6 Dman added to the fold.

Since Lou has arrived size, size and more size from the draft seems to be the strategy.

Love that Leafs are drafting D and G this year and starting to plug prospect holes.

 

[Budsfan]

 

[htpwn]

Enough of the size already. Go back to the 5'9" skill please.

 

[Borschevsky]

I think after Hunter drafted Liljegren yesterday he went out and got drunk last night.

Feels like last years draft in a way

 

[phillipmike]

Was a forward converted into a D

 

[ChrisCall]

According to NHL Network coverage he converted from Forward to defence, and so is also still transitioning his game.

 

[Judas Tavares]

I think after Hunter drafted Liljegren yesterday he went out and got drunk last night.

And then pissed multiple times in your cereal

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

We'v been loading up on big boys on the back-end this draft and last.

Rasanen 6'7

Gordeev 6'6

Middleton 6'5

Greenway 6'4

Greenway is the only one that shows promise as of now.

Well Leafs keep the defense drafting going with this one. Certainly want a mix of blueliners going forward.
