I like that pick, and the Leafs' draft in general.

Lehtera was on my very short list for the last pick -- a two-player list -- but in the end, I decided that the Blues needed to add some depth to the goaltending prospect pool, and one that had four years to develop in college (Hjelle's committed to Minnesota-Duluth next year), giving the current group time to shake things out.

Unstoppable, Metsola was a good pick also. He was on my radar.
