LeafsTV presents 2012 Behind The Draft for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
So Burke said that Rielly was his first pick. He's so full of *****.

Snow as high on Reinhart over others is confounding? I had him in the 10 area, He's a good reliable defender, but he certainly plays small for his size. Snow could have dropped back further if he wanted him. Reminds me of the Bailey pick, but in that situation he netted 2 picks to do this. Leave it to the Isles to be so inept. In the end I think Morrison was willing to take Dumba, Rielly, or Gally at #5 had it played out that way,Mo seemed to think the Habs were entertaining the thought of picking Rielly. Maybe this is where Burke meant he would consider to address a need over a D man he rated similarly. All we know is Rielly was the man we wanted all along, so all is well if you are a Leafs fan. Well played by Mo and Burke for listening to him 2 straight years. Burke wanted Percy and Mo read that one correctly also.
I don't think Bettman believed a word out Burke's mouth when Burke was saying he had Rielly ranked #1.
When Koekoek and Rielly are talking Slater says: "I didnt think you were going" and Morgan replies "Niether did I"
You cant really hear what Slater ended with but I wonder if he maent he didnt think Rielly was going to get picked that high. Kinda cool to hear two good friends talk, you can tell both are just so elated
And lol at the Leafs brass when Nonis reads out Lupul's tweet.
I knew very little of Reilly and Finn but it's good to see the both seem like they have very good heads on their shoulders.
Question I had after watching was if the Leafs really had Reilly ranked #1 why would they have not moved up to ensure they got him? Sounded to me like they were happy with whoever was going to fall to them.
Why did Burke wait so long at the table waiting for a phone call when it was his time to pick? Seems like he wanted to trade the pick away
Also did anyone catch exactly what Rielly said, I think while MTL was drafting, he says something along the lines of "I'll cry if the draft me"...not sure if it was in reference to the Habs, us or the Isles...and if it was cry in a good way or bad way? Was he a Habs or Isles fan? I think he said it while Galchenyuk was being picked so maybe he was not thrilled about the possibility of going to the Islanders at 4?

He said, "He told me he might cry" about Galchenyuk. Not sure what it was in reference to, just getting drafted or being drafted by the Canadiens, and whatever it was, it sounded like a good thing.
I thought it was something like "he said he might cry" in talking about Galchenyuk.
Wow, so Burke really did have Reilly ranked 1st overall
