The guys Dubas wanted were gone so why not trade down?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Before the playoffs ended we had:
2nd
2 x 4ths

Since then:
1st
2nd
3rd
2 x 4ths

Good job. Now make an actual trade!

 

[Coaches Coroner]

I don't mind this, I actually suggested this a couple days ago. Hoping a guy like Sebrango is still around at one of those picks.

Feels like maybe they should have traded up to get what they wanted...

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Good trade.

 

[IceColdBear]

I like it, i dont think the guys around 60 are much worse than here, and we get two of them.

 

[7even]

That's pretty good value

 

[SCampo98]

Was hoping Mysak, hopefully they get two great players later on though!

 

[TheDoldrums]

For me all the exciting and interesting guys in the 2nd went before 44. So I like the idea of getting more darts to throw.

Pretty sure it was an easy win from a draft capital value perspective, really not much difference from 44 to 59 compared to that bonus pick.

I can only assume Minny & Buffalo beat them to it.

I really wish dubas would have picked Mysak. Would have made me feel good.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Value is good considering what some teams paid to move up a few spots in the first round.

Of course Ottawa takes a big physical d-man Going to see some heads explode

 

[Tak7]

At this point, the draft is a crap shoot - why not acquire an extra pick to take a few more shots. Let's see what they get out of this.

Dropping like a rock - he was a late 1st rounder on afew lists I was reading prior to the draft.

 

[Treasure Island]

So!
Ottawa picks up a big mean defenceman!
We do not need any of those!

Keep trying to justify it big nasty defenceman don’t need them all you minions do is spin everything to say Kyles the best thing give your head a shake or maybe pull it out of the sand What happened to the Murray trade it was a good thing he didn’t do it lmao

 

[Byron Bitz]

That’s good value for trading back at this point in the draft

 

[DarkKnight]

I like it, not a huge drop off and you get another chance to find a player.

I honestly hope they take an undersized skilled player with their next pick just to see you guys react to it lol

 

[Magic Man]

It has felt like guys are going where they're projected so far. There haven't been many can't miss fallers coming in at the Leafs draft position. An extra pick to fill in the one missing round the team didn't have a pick in is cool. I think that's good value.

We could still draft a big nasty d man with one (or both) of the two picks we got...

Makes no sense to be angry until we at least see who we get...

 

[43Kadri43]

The trade’s great value.

And Ottawa selected Klevin with it, who is absolutely terrible, so I’m good with it.

 

[sxvnert]

Glad the 3rd wasn't a low pick.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I really wish dubas would have picked Mysak. Would have made me feel good.

Mysak and Hyman on the same team? Might as well call us the Toronto Innuendos.

Why am I hearing Moe Sizzlak in my head?

 

[Subway Schenn]

Slick move!
