Mid Season 2015 NHL Draft Discussion - Candidates at halfway point

[showtime8]

Sure about that? I saw him listed at 6' 4.75"

My bad. They did say 6'5. I misheard that.

 

[p.l.f.]

They can grow quickly lol

 

[BIitz]

I didn't forget him, And it's also not because I don't like him. I'm just not sure how to rate him. His point total are obviously impressive, But he's likely a #2 centre in the NHL. He's not quickest player despite being 5'10.

I can see why people like him, And he'll probably be a 1st round pick; I'm just not there yet on him.

I respect that, everyone's got their opinion. He can and is playing the wing though.

Who are you guys liking this game?

 

[showtime8]

They can grow quickly lol

Like Anthony Davis growth spurt?

My projection is that Brandon Carlo will be 6'10 -300lbs by the age of 20. haha

 

[Doug Gilmour]

If we are drafting in the top 5 come draft time I really am liking Mathew Barzal. He is a smart, fluid, and two way player.

Barzal, Nylander, Rielly, Finn, Gauthier, Brown, Johnson, now that would be a team to build with....our lone bright spot in this bleak time for the Leafs is our prospects and our upcoming draft picks.

 

[p.l.f.]

Oh no it's Damien Cox
He's everywhere !

 

[ToneBone03]

Travis Konecny. What a player! We need to acquire a later 1st rounder and draft this guy. He's undersized but he's absolutely fearless. His play in this Top Prospects game has made me a fan.

Mitch Marner's skill level is absolutely through the roof.

Dylan Strome looks really slow. Great vision though. Reminds me of Jumbo Joe.

 

[Bullseye]

Marner over Strome so far - Strome has heavy feet - Dunn looking very good in front of of the home town crowd

 

[p.l.f.]

We need a big skill center though - to complement Kadri

I didn't mind Konecny. He looks like a wrecking ball going into the corners. haha. I wouldn't mind a late 1st round pick for him, but you never know where he will fall.

Once Marner puts another 20 pounds on between now and the next couple years, he'll be a very good player. I haven't seen him take too many big hits. He almost reminds me a bit of Jakub Voracek. Nice wheels, wicked shot and skill.

I agree with the Strome comment on foot speed. He's a smart player, so he doesn't get caught out of position.

 

[LolungoReboundo]

Timo Meier is very good.

Nicolas Roy and Nathan Noel also look good. Thomas Chabot has impressed me alongside provorov carlo and spencer on Defence.

Dylan Strome is a bit slow but he's got eyes in the back of his head wow

 

[realgoodleafs]

They keep talking about Crouse but the only thing that is noticeable about him is that he is big. Their highlight package of him at the end of the period was him making a small hit, him dropping his stick, and him falling into the goaltender

 

[p.l.f.]

25 ROY, NICOLAS CHICOUTIMI QMJHL C 6' 4.0" 199

Good sleeper pick
Maybe that's the one we get for Dion lol

 

[showtime8]

I did notice that Strome's foot speed isn't the best, but has anyone noticed if he was out of position?

 

[Peasy]

The guy who is in the ECHL currently

We are not drafting anyone to complement a second line center. Kadri is not worthy of having players complement HIM,

Still more than Marner and Strome had to show

Lets load up for Bozak

 

[p.l.f.]

Well with or without Kadri whatever - we need a big skill center to add to our top 6
JVR is our only big top 6 guy - that's a major concern

 

[Leafs at Knight]

The guy who is in the ECHL currently

He's in the AHL right now.

 

[p.l.f.]

Strome has a slick but akward looking stride
He backskates well

 

[Teeder9]

Average skater but ridiculous passing.

Konechny has looked great

 

[ToneBone03]

Travis Konecny, folks. Player of the game so far.

 

[p.l.f.]

yeah he's dynamic looking

 

[p.l.f.]

Jesus lol

 

[realgoodleafs]

It's decided. We are drafting Konecny.
