Added - Evan McEneny

And I think that'll be the last addition. There is no one else eligible to add, really.

Garteig

 

[M2Beezy]

Tough to pick now went with Repdulic

 

[Red]

Carcone

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Carcone
Rendulic
Garteig?
McKenzie??
?????

...pretty tough to fill in the last five. How many days left until draft 2017?

 

[jimmythescot]

I went with Rendulic purely because I like his name. Also, whenever I see his name I usually say to myself "Some work all their lives to be a Rendulic, but I am Borna Rendulic."

At this stage, that's a good enough reason for me.

 

[Iceberg Slim]

Voted Garteig (as I've done the past couple rounds).

I'm pretty high on his chances based on his natural athleticism and ability. Definitely not a guy that projects exceptionally well on paper (if you were to simply run his odds through models), but his history tells a slightly different story. No goalie coach until college. Didn't have basic techniques or learn goalie movements but still managed to be dominant in the BCHL. His dad jokes that Mike couldn't even really skate until he went to college. Just played off instinct and natural ability. Started to actually learn the technical side of his position at Quinnipiac, soaked up the coaching, worked hard, and developed into one of the NCAA's best netminders. He's not young but he's had a late start in many respects and still has loads of potential.

I'd bet on Garteig actually making it ahead of anyone else remaining on the list.

There's just something about Rendulic. He's played all over the place. He will be the next Kenins.

Haha me too

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Do we even have 21 prospects?

Do we even have 21 prospects?

Barely. Toronto's board has done 28 prospects and Corrado still is not picked. This shows the depth of their prospect pool and also show Frankie likely is not the huge loss many here were saying last year.

It's not a huge loss - problem is, with the prospect pool we do have; we can't afford to throw away needlessly any lottery pick tickets. Especially considering the circumstances surrounding Frankie.

And which circumstances are that? That Frank while a good guy, is a fringe NHL defenceman who couldn't crack the NHL's worst squad last season? A team which traded 2 of its day 1 regulars by the trade deadline and yet barely squeaked out 20 odd games?
No matter how you slice it, Canucks most likely have #2 waiver claim on him this coming September anyways. Corrado was also forced into a minimum salary to get his 1way contract so I doubt Toronto has much of him in their 6/7/8 spot options
