Right now my opinion has changed to Marner so I voted for him.
Yeah, I think Strome's support has dwindled a bit. He may make a revival in a later version of this thread, but don't think he's going to be winning any polls for a while.I think it's going to go
Hanifin
Marner
Barzal
i feel strome is out of the running

If there, Hanifin, if he is gone, Marner.
If we take a forward, I want Barzal. I don't get this whole "He's a reach at 4 but not at 6-7". He's a good player and has shown what he can do with the little he's had to work with, so what if he isn't ranked in the Top 5, neither was a guy like Johansen (Not comparing their skill, just their draft situation).
91Kadri91 said:He is slow.
I don't necessarily think his end-to-end speed will be an issue at the NHL level (he positions himself very well), but to say he's not slow is either ignorant or disingenuous. His acceleration, however, is very poor, and will have to improve significantly (which I'm sure it can) if he wishes to produce at the NHL level.
Want:
Marner
Hanifin
Strome
BPA:
Hanifin
Marner
Strome
Realistically:
3 - Hanifin
4 - Marner
5 - Strome
In a good spot to pick up a solid prospect.
Because he'l be drafted? Or you think he's played himself out of the top 5 based on the playoffs?
Bingo. I'd still be pretty happy with Strome though too, not sure why some users have to rag on one because they prefer the other.If there, Hanifin, if he is gone, Marner.
Selecting the BPA is important but selecting the BPA who fits our philosophy is also important.
So out of the following Strome/Hanifin/Marner/Crouse/Barzal/Provorov (the players identified by Dubas), who has the best:
1. Skill
2. Speed
3. Smarts
4. Compete
5. 200 foot game
6. Character/leadership/drive/intensity?
I was firmly on Team Strome not long ago...now he's dropped to behind Hanifin and Marner for me.
Hanifin
Marner
Strome
Really hoping the Yotes don't take Hanifin but even if they do, I'm confident we'll end up with Marner considering what Dubas had to say today.

I can only comment on Strome and Marner, those are the only prospects I've been keeping an eye on. I've read up on Hanifin and Barzal a lot. Crouse and Provorov I've only skimmed through their threads, I haven't seen them as realistic targets for the Leafs in their spot. Although Provorov seems to have some hype following him.
So If you want a list of Marner vs Strome:
1. Skill - Depends on what package you're looking for. Marner if you're the Leafs
2. Speed - Marner
3. Smarts - Strome
4. Compete - Marner
5. 2 way game - Marner
6. Drive and intensity - Marner
If you've got input from the other prospects I'd love to hear it though.
Same here. The only thing that might change my opinion back on Strome, if it comes out that his been dealing with an injury that is hampering him. Either way, I'll take Hanifin over both if his available at 4.
