GDT: Draft Day Part IV - Leafs second 1st round pick approaching at 29

[Nylanderthal]

You should watch some Marner videos before making posts you will regret.

Wow cause youtube vids ar the best way to judge a player? Stupid pick, Arz and TML will rue the day they passed on a player like noah.
Oh great, the guy Leafs brass wanted just went at 27.... how does the trade-back look now?

 

[Brewsky]

Damnit, wanted Larson.

Only Kylington, Merkley, Roy intrigue me.

 

[stakesishigh]

Gabriel Carlsson is our suspected guy.

 

[htpwn]

Larsson was my preference. Now I'm aboard the Merkley bandwagon.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Detroit trades down = "such a smart franchise"
Toronto trades down = "what are they thinking" <- the comment by leafidiently is hilarious lol

This.

It was a smart move. We need to trust hunter. There the ones who have spent the time watching and scouting these players

 

[timlap]

Figured Larsson was the guy. Things get interesting again.

 

[Moncherry]

Is Larsson any better than Carlsson?

 

[7even]

So uh, Sprong?

 

[frankthetank91]

Such an Anaheim pick.

Happy though kinda sick of these safeish Swede picks.

 

[Stephen]

Got too cute. Trading down in the bottom 20 is risky because that's where the better GM's are picking! Murray and Yzerman FTW!

 

[GardinerTheForward]

whatever if leafs got larson he woulda been a bust reach pick right...

too bad that he's a stud now that ducks got him

 

[HeroNtF]

I feel bad for juulsen, sports net is such amateur hour. Kid goes up to talk and they cut him off after 5 seconds.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I have a feeling that may have been our guy.

probably
and I bet you ANYTHING had we drafted Larsson at 24 - people would be OMG WHAT? WHHHY?! DOOOOOMMM

 

[gamer1035]

that cant be the leafs guy... they wouldn't drop down for a 3rd unless they were sure

 

[Nithoniniel]

Were picking Kylington no doubt.

They wanted a risky pick. Can't go riskier than that. Huge upside, big risk.

I'm a big fan of Bergmann though. I trust any decision to take or not take any Swede.

 

[Nylanderthal]

If they take Kylington or Carlsson with the upcoming pick I'm going to need several stiff drinks tonight, and not for the positive reasons.

 

[Nylanders Flow]

Anaheim will probably get a stud from larsson like they usually do.

Was just gonna say, id kill for Anaheims D rankings every year, they are prolific.

 

[AcerComputer]

NYI picking Merkley?

 

[TMLeafer]

OMG Yzerman moved down 5 spots for a 3rd rounder. Clueless, fire him!

 

[rojac]

Do you people really think the Leafs only had one player in mind when they moved down 5 picks. I would imagine that that were several acceptable players they expected to be available.

 

[thewave]

Snow became a genius

 

[MapleLife*]

NYI doing what we shouldve been doing

 

[Hero]

Sprong/Merkley one of them will fall to us.


At this point I'm okay dropping back 3-4 more spots.

If either of those 2 are gone Kylington will still be there.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Damn isles racking up the picks

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Merkley is going to the Islanders here I bet.
