In my opinion, I think one of Edmonton, Calgary or Columbus will win the lottery and get Matthews. I think we win either the 2nd or 3rd pick. At second we take Laine, at third I would take Chychrun.
I think you mean Pulujarvi

If limits are of little concern, I'll extend the hypothetical a little further and throw out a possibility in which Toronto signs Stamkos after it wins the first pick overall.
In my ideal scenario, Arizona finished bottom three as well. Hunter/Dubas are able to acquire the Coyotes 3rd overall plus Dylan Strome and a 2nd in 2017. Arizona gets their hometown cornerstone and the Leafs draft Laine after Edmonton drafts Chychrun.
If the trend (in which the seemingly unthinkable actually continues to happen - insert immovable contract after immovable contract ) continues, I'll continue to be unshaken as ideal situations repeat one after the other.
I personally think we don't get the luck and pick 5th or 6th, Tkachuk or Nylander. But these weren't an option so I chose Pulji. I want Matthews tho obviously
Phaneuf got traded a couple days ago in case you missed it.
You should check out our d-core. We will finish last. 4th overall will be the worst pick we get.
Hmmm that sounds exactly like what I proposed. I like Strome as well. He has something. And you have to think Arizona would really reach to get their hands on Matthews, but hey, they might just be given him, if you know what I mean.
Edmonton drafts Matthews
Buffalo drafts Laine
Leafs draft Puljujarvi and sign Stamkos
