[Smif]

5 for 5 so far. Anybody else?

 

[Eyedea]

It's Brendan Leipsic, not Brandon.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

bracco.

 

[TimeZone]

Bracco

Add Timashov

 

[pooleboy]

Andreas Johnson.

add: Dymtro Timashov

 

[HarryLime]

Johnson for me.

 

[Celly Hard]

between johnson/bracco here.

 

[Moonman]

Brendan Leipsic

 

[Banic]

Travis Dermott again. Less high upside to Bracco but a much better chance to hit it.

 

[mikebel111*]

I have to say Gauthier here

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I'll go with Andreas. Lots of good options here though.

 

[Liminality]

Went with Johnson, he's around where Brown is at imo.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Freddy the Goat.

Add Bailey.

 

[PJJ]

27.91% for Gauthier so far

 

[shelf]

Looks like Bracco might take the #6 spot. I wonder where Nielsen will go who was drafted just 4 spots after Bracco. Probably #20ish.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Dermott

 

[frankthetank91]

I'll go with Bracco here.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Gauthier; he deserves to be top 5. Johnson, Leipsic, Leivo, Harrington and a tough last choice round out my top 10. Leivo may have not had the best offensive regular season, but he's still an excellent top 6 prospect that has been shrouded by an influx of other top 6 talent recently.

 

[ktf]

Johnson, it was a tough choice.
However, I do think too many people like shiny new things (Bracco). Over prospects that have done nothing but impress since being drafted.

 

[BigWilly]

Honestly I don't even believe Gauthier should be top 10, we have a lot of better guys in the system and he's barely progressed since his draft year.

 

[buttman*]

Had about 4 guys I would say are close at this point. I chose Scott Harrington. Why? Well, actually being able to play defense in your own end is the most under-rated skill in Leafland. Fans think all this flash and dash is more important.

Look at L.A. They have a ton of guys that could play D and do little else. Look at the last time the Leafs were good. Guys like Sylvain Lefebvre, Jamie Macoun, etc. were stalwarts on the backend. Leafs haven't made a dent on 10 years because they have ZERO Dmen that can play half decent in their own end.

Yeah, I get it, smurfs scoring goals is sexy. Still, it won't win you **** if you can't keep the puck out of your net.

 

[Looney Toonies]

Torn between Dermott and Bracco here.

 

[buttman*]

Honestly I don't even believe Gauthier should be top 10, we have a lot of better guys in the system and he's barely progressed since his draft year.

Killing penalties, winning face-offs and playing defense are optional in Leafland. The fact Gauthier does it BETTER than any forward prospect we have should count for something.

Sometimes you need someone to SHUT DOWN the oppositions top line and not get scored on. When is the last time the Leafs had a line capable of that? Remember Berg, Zezel and Osborne? That's about the last time the Leafs were good. None of those guys were sexy but they played a role.

Look at Chicago. Marcus Kruger says hi. It's really too bad many of you guys don't get this.

 

[Banic]

Torn between Dermott and Bracco here.

Dermott was selected ahead of Bracco for a reason. I trust the scouts and Leafs management to make a better decision with the full knowledge that we don't have
