So after looking around it looks as though the Leafs are taking one of Backlund, Corture, Esposito, Hamil, Eller, or Petrecki.
Here are my thoughts:
Backlund- he is talented but dont would rather not get a player that is a risk with an injury or using another 1st on a European
Want Ranking: 5th
Couture- From what I hear is a great player, was a top ranked player this time last year. I would be very happy with this pick.
Want Ranking: 2nd
Esposito- a great talent that is my first choice but don't expect to see him get past Boston and even if he does there dont expect to get by Montreal
Want Ranking: 1st
Hamil- A great canadian center! Lead a defensive WHL team in scoring which is quite impresive. Would love this pick as well seems like a great player but i think its a bit to early for him at 13
Want Ranking: 3rd
Eller- Not sure if he is better then Backlund or not but still going to be a great player. Don't mind getting Eller and would pick him over Backlund but would still perfer a Canadian to Toronto!
Want Ranking: 4th
Petrecki- This pick absolutley doesnt make sense to me. Petrecki seams like he would be a great d man but where would he fit in? Currently the Leafs have these defensemen that are still considored young: White, Coliacovo, Wozniewski, Kronwall, Harrison, and Stralman. I just dont see where Petrecki would fit. Although I would still be happy with this pick I would be much perfer the Leafs to trade down and draft him (not going to happen him)
Want Ranking: 6th
But knowing JFJ he will go off the board and draft Akim Aliu with the Leafs pick.
What do you guys think?
