if the Leafs made that pick can you imagine the money HFBoards would make? Traffic would insane on here. All the haters would jump on Kyle in their out of town threads. The off-season for the lLeafs has been zippo so far and YET we are filling up pages on the Islanders forum.
Imagine the Leafs did this??!! The apocalypse would rein down.
Wow, that's just freakin' awkward...that silence...at least he was being sincere about it and didn't try to make something up...but the answer could be pretty simple: in a world where everything is scrutinized, where some people don't get second chances, I feel that we could give the young man a second chance to redeem himself. Of course, unless that answer would be lie, and the real answer is "our first pick is late because of where we finished in the season, and we needed to hit a home run, so we took a chance."
If Dubas picked him, maybe he would have said "we didn't want to be exclusive...we can and we will!"
