Would be nice. But I don't see it happening. But we have Hunter, Dubas and the scouts to get the maximum from the Pittsburgh pick, so I feel good about that.
Chances are totally against us getting #1 overall, but even at #4-6 I'm still loving the idea of adding a Nylander/Chychrun/Tkachuk/etc.While they might be 30th right now they have not clinched last place overall. However if it happens where Toronto finishes 30th overall, ends up with the 4th overall pick and the Oilers get the 1st pick, I think it would be a combination of people pissed that they get the 1st pick 5 out of 7 years. Plus those who hate the Leafs will be happy they don't get Auston Matthews, Puljujarvi or Laine.
A player that hasn't been mentioned much was Carrick. I thought he was quite solid...
Good effort but hard fought loss against best in the East.
Sosh is a mini uncle Leo.
I'm so excited but also nervous for the young kids. According to the ELC, they can only play what, 7 more games this season if they don't want to burn a year off their 3 year ELC?
We have 20 games left. They won't be playing 13 of those, and those are games I most definitely will NOT BE WATCHING

LouLam essentially said they could give a damn if they burn a year off their ELC or not. I don't particularly mind although back in September I was all for keeping Nylander and company in the minors. But I've since figured that it's better to have a couple of guys come off their ELC's earlier than others so we don't have a crisis like needing to re-sign Nylander, Marner, whoever in three years.
Excellent point. Hyman is not nearly as talented as eiter bill or KK but he plays a nhl game. This is whats wrong with the oilers, they play like kids. McD plays more of a mans game than any of their other 1st overalls.Nylander and Kap as talented as they are do play like kids. It's not a knock but Babcock won't let them get away with it. They rush a lot of plays as though playing scared. Hymnal and Carrick and Sosh are in the game.
ELC may not matter in this case because Babcock is just telling it like it is.

This team has become pretty lax defensively since the new year or around that time. Tonight, I counted 4 High Quality Chances just from the highlights. Bernier was sharp, not sharp enough to win the game, but still not what his save percentage for the game would suggest.
Babcock was right in mentioning to the young guns that they will need to compete regardless of their skill level--Nylander's slow backchecking was covered by Bernier in the first.
Upon looking at the Marincin turnover... it looks like one of those unlucky bounces. The puck just died after hitting the boards when it usually flies up. Maybe he should have been a bit deeper before shooting it.
KK has looked fantastic and is dynamic enough to mesh well with fast and slow players. I'd love to see him alongside Bozak.
Also, Hyman should be getting praise--I'm not sure how we determined that he's a 4th liner. He consistently generates opportunities.
Our PP was 0/4, maintaining the 14.4% clip. Good for dead last.
Sounds like babs didnt think bill and kap competed hard enough tonight. Just what I took away from his post game interview there.

you can see that Nylander does things That no one on our team can do.
He creates prime scoring chances, he gave gifts to both Rielly and Gardiner and on both occasions didn't finish. He knows who is open, I can already see that he needs more ice time with kadri. They need to see what he can do with Komarov - Kadri - Nylander. I guarantee everyone will start scoring on that line with Nylander there although sosh is also a good fit.
