I understand that it is likely to early to even think about doing this but here we are.

[Laineux]

84 point 21-year-old goes 8th and 30+ goal rookie goes 10th and it's not out of place at all. Absurd draft.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Any draft's top 10, besides 2003, can even come close to that?

 

[Dominance]

84 point 21-year-old goes 8th and 30+ goal rookie goes 10th and it's not out of place at all. Absurd draft.

Rantanen and Connor are good players but there is no questioning that their stats - especially Connor’s - are greatly inflated by who they play with. No way those guys go any higher right now IMO. Rantanen could be #5 if he repeats this season next year and could easily be #2-3 by the time his career is over, though.

Draft looks pretty good to me.

 

[Leopain]

People are always sleeping on Malgin...

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I think you should weigh defencemen a little better as they tend to take longer to develop and make an impact.

 

[ThomasG]

Marner is too high, can't be above provorov or werenski, also wouldn't put him above boeser. Marner played behind and around guys like Matthews, Nylander Kadri etc. Boeser had no one of that caliber except for maybe Horvat even though they barely played with each other due to their injuries. All game plans against the Canucks are "shut down boeser" when teams play the leafs their main focus is not Marner.

 

[57special]

Eriksson - Ek hasn't been scoring much yet, but he is a really good player. Certainly better than Greenway, at this point. I would not trade him for quite a few of the players above him on the list.

All game plans against the Canucks are "shut down boeser" when teams play the leafs their main focus is not Marner.

Considering that Marner was around a PPG for the last 50 games or so, how well he has fit into the leafs organization, the amount of depth the leafs have on their left side on their blueline, and how big of a hole it would create in the leafs lineup losing Marner, i couldn't see them taking Provorov or Werenski over Marner ATMIT.
No slight against Boeser (i think him and Marner are in the same tier of players) but i just feel like Marner is a better fit on the leafs due to them already having 3 30+ goal scorers on their roster and having more of a need for a playmaker and a player who drives the play opposed to another finisher.

I don't think there is really that much seperation between the players i had listed from 14th to 30th. It was just a matter of who i felt would have been a better fit for that specific roster.

Okay fair enough

 

[MattMartin]

It's funny how the Islanders/Snow went into that draft with no 1st round picks and ended with the steal of the draft and Beau who could be considered a steal as well.

Having Marner over Werenski I understand but I think you need Provorov at 4. I guess I could argue Rantanen to go higher but the other guys have strong cases as well. Insane top 10

Depends what you go for in a redraft. Best player or what the team in that draft position need. Leafs needs a defenceman just as bad as they would have needed a winger without Marner. Anyway its close, but if you go after highest value even considering how good Marner is I would guess Provorov and Werenski have higher value in the league because of position.

 

[AvatarAang]

of course Chiarelli trades a 1st for a bust in one of the deepest drafts of all time.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Agree with the players in the top 10. As for the order, Aho is a bit too high and Provorov is too low IMO.

Beyond that, it's not worth arguing.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Needing a goalie I could see the Islanders with Samsonov at #15.

Other than that, it's a good list.

Yeah the guys i have ranked 4 through 9 are pretty much all interchangeable for me with the guys i have ranked 10 through 13 are not that far off for me either.

I got Samsonov at 19 going to Detroit

 

[Spirit of 67]

I saw that.

You said in your OP that you considered organizational need. So, I think the Islanders would snag him at 15. They need goalies.

Oh. I figured they were pretty happy with the progression of Sorokin but it can never hurt to have more depth.

Look at wow stats. Marner is driving his line

 

[Spirit of 67]

Oh. I figured they were pretty happy with the progression of Sorokin but it can never hurt to have more depth.

You also have to consider that he was only taken the year before so how the feel about him today isn't necessarily how they would've felt with that pick in hand walking up to the stage.

I thought it was a bit bold to put Marner at 4 but I think your argument was solid.
I've often wondered what the Leafs would've done with that pick had they known Matthews was coming the next year.
