TSN: Chris Johnston breaks down what draft picks TOR has left

[Ianturnedbull]

As he explained last night AZ selected TOR's 2025 2nd round pick as part of the Nick Ritchie/Boosh deal.

What's left?

2023
3rd, 5th, and 6th

2024
1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 7th

2025
1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th


How likely will Dubas use some of what's left?

The 2023 draft is almost bare. Who can Dubas move to recover all those missing picks?

***** a discussion about Toronto's draft picks and how they might pertain to this moment leading up to the trade deadline. *****

I'd trade all those picks for a Cup

 

[Jozay]

So a couple of firsts and shit all lol

 

[Subway Schenn]

Assuming we won't have that 3rd in a week.

 

[OVO16]

Could care less. I want playoff success and a cup. We have our young core and they are going into their prime.

We cant waste Mathew's prime years

 

[All Mod Cons]

That 2023 3rd will become 2 x 2023 4ths.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I can't even remember who our last 1st round pick was.

Rodion Amirov?

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Dubas has to go balls deep, all those picks should be in play.

GIMME SCHENN GIMME MEIER
GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE

I can't even remember who our last 1st round pick was.

Rodion Amirov?

Technically yes, though he'll never pan out so realistically it was Sandin in 2018

 

[Subway Schenn]

I can't even remember who our last 1st round pick was.

Rodion Amirov?

Officially yes, but we got one in the 2nd round the next year (2021).

 

[All Mod Cons]

Rodion Amirov?

Minten was in our top 15 apparently.

 

[Subway Schenn]

Minten was in our top 15 apparently.

Looks like a solid pick and still 18! Wonder what he can become..

I thought we had no picks left after the ROR trade. Turns out we still have 15 of 21.

You could care less? I guess this has impacted you more than most.

 

[Buds17]

There is a time when a contending team acquires draft picks (exclusively). The week prior to the trade deadline isn't it.

What? Who's arguing for acquiring draft picks right now?

My apologies. I misinterpreted the final line of your original post.

Well that’s an incredibly ignorant statement…..

 

[ACC1224]

Picks come and go, not an issue.
Leafs need fewer picks than most teams anyway.
Has Dubas ever made a bad pick?

 

[justashadowof]

Minten was in our top 15 apparently.

Considering the disparity because most pre-draft lists, I bet most NHL teams usually pick a player in the 2nd round they had rated as a 1st round pick.

 

[ULF_55]

Leafs control Nylander and Matthews for the next two playoffs.

Of course, if either or both leave, the Leafs have that cap space, to go shopping.

If both re-sign, their young defenders will all be a year more experienced, and their top prospect will all be a year older.

The missing picks become relevant 2026 at the earliest, and considering their picks are going to be (unless disaster happens) late 20's.

Leafs are all in for the next 2-3 years, and if they get re-signs from their core, drafts that have already taken place are going to be their coming of age assets.

Current picks are currency.

 

[trellaine201]

The cupboards are empty.

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs need to add some "muscle" to their D-line. Bunch of soft ass D-men we got (excluding Sandin/Lily and to a certain extent Gio)

Chychrun is needed gotta make it work

 

[ULF_55]

The cupboards are empty.

That's because the table is set with food waiting to be consumed.

What we need to know is whether the chef has prepared the food for a feast, or if the duck is tough.

Don't have the assets to make that deal. If they did they, they'd best try to bring Crouse in the mix too

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Well that’s an incredibly ignorant statement…..

I understand where you're coming from and I'm not offended, I just don't believe you understand the severity of a brain tumour.
