GDT: NHL Draft Day Part III - Leafs take Marner, now what happens?

[Paradoc]

Excuse me while i go cry in a corner.

Poor LR. At least there is a chance to get Chychrun next year.

 

[Stephen]

Really was their any doubt if Arizona didn't pick Marner the Leafs would......... just happy we got him. I will go out on a limb and say he will be the 2nd best player in the draft with in 4/5 years. sorry Ernie Hanny not shanny goes 5th.

Marner's stock could really skyrocket with a bit more growing and some serious time in the gym. His skill level is supposedly similar to the top 2, but he's obviously much less physically mature.

I am sort of glad Toronto gave those picks to Boston years back. Good guy Toronto, making sure Boston felt good for some time before there management team hurled them into chaos.

 

[realgoodleafs]

That was a nice trade for both teams, though you think the Oilers probably should have made a stronger play for Hamilton with a similar pick as to what the Flames gave away.

Barzal looks like Jonathan Bernier...

They offered a better package than Calgary but the Bruins seemed to want to stick it to Chiarelli.

 

[Leafidelity]

Lots of interesting prospects left for us at 24, we're likely to get a better player than I thought

 

[91Stammer*]

Boston is brutal. Absolutely brutal. They could have got 2 of those picks with their 13th pick, taken Merkley and Barzal/Connor to go with it. So bad

Leafs are right there with them.

 

[Maple Leaf]

You guys...the problem is that...other teams don't want our garbage....

 

[Joufreau]

Leafs make no moves... Amazing rebuild

negative nancy since page one on this thread...your posts are depressing, take a break

 

[LaPlante94]

Anyone got the ESPN draft stream link?

 

[TMLegend]

I want Konecny. He's a stud. Would Ottawa trade with us though lol?

 

[Jackothy]

Bahh, any potential for us to trade into the last dozen picks? Or is it time to go drinking...

 

[bobg1]

Was really hoping the Leafs could swing a trade to get Hanifin.

C'mon San Jose / Florida!

If the Leafs wanted Hanifin they would have taken him

 

[KPower]

We will get a good player at 24.

looks like Kessel and Phaneuf are staying.

 

[RhyZa]

Very mature crowd in here whining about every little thing. Greedy spoiled bunch

 

[Kurisu]

I want Konecny. He's a stud. Would Ottawa trade with us though lol?

he's a midget, didn't you know.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Boston is nuts. I still can't believe the nonsense they pulled today. They got worse now and in the future. Amazing.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Lack of movement in such a good draft is disappointing.

Maybe they weren't meeting out asking price

 

[Joufreau]

I want Konecny. He's a stud. Would Ottawa trade with us though lol?

nah, they love local boys

 

[Einzakin]

Leafs are right there with them.

Not at all... Marner was the #3 BPA .. how have the Leafs failed? We look like we'll be getting a great pick at 24.

 

[Brewsky]

Connor
Erikson Ek
Kylington
Konecny
Svech

Still some good talent here.

 

[Stephen]

On the bright side, the Leafs 24th pick has been upgraded a few spots from the Boston and Dallas reach picks.

 

[senor martinez]

Jason Allison 17th pick 1993. What a great player he was.... miss him.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bahh, any potential for us to trade into the last dozen picks? Or is it time to go drinking...

The Leafs have 24th overall from the Franson trade....

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[Semantics]

Called it.

NY ISLES just committed a felon. Steal.

Tavares and Barzal for years to come. Depth and quality down the middle.

This could be the Getzlaf of 2015 at #16.

You mean after you called him going at #5, then "called it" for the next 9 picks after that? Well, you know what they say, 11th time's a charm.
