He’s a good pick too. I nail my shingle on Schneider but your pick is just as goodMy vote's for William wallinder but he's not up there
Calling this as a landslide for Schnieder. Trying to make up a bit of time.
Thanks Everyone!
Yep. On the main boards Florida fans said would trade down for the Leafs' first and 2nd. Askarov and/or Jarvis might still be there.I can't say I'm impressed with any of the names still on the board
This list screams trade down, finding a partner may take some doing though
We have enough bpa flowering daisies. Go watch figure skating if you want moreI'd rather pick the BPA.
You can always trade or sign for need. What you can't do is trade for talent when you need it.
Remember when Montreal had the Hart trophy winner in Theodore but picked some kid named Carey Price. Never know what the future holds.
Less than you think I feel. There's a reason he's giving out mostly bad opinions on tv now rather than NHL offices.Like in politics, people get sick of one party and then vote for the other and the cycle goes back and forth.
Well, after years of shitting on Burke for caring too much about truculence and the lack of skill on the team, I really have to wonder how many people would welcome him back at this point.
Who said it has to be flowering daisies?We have enough bpa flowering daisies. Go watch figure skating if you want more
Lol i was just looking at that draft year haha. I’m so glad they f***** up. Schneider will be BPA at fifteenth anyway. 6’2” 209 Rhd that will be ready to come in and play right side with Liljigren in the mix as a really young talented right side in a snap. He plays a jam game but needs to work on his edge work apparently. The rest of his defensive game will polish up as he develops. Its solid already. He’s a need and might not even be there at 15 by some mock drafts. You are saying he won’t be Bpa at 15. Some have him going earlier. He fits all the criteria to grab if he is there and Askarov is gone.Who said it has to be flowering daisies?
How limited is your view on the draft?
Remember when Boston tried to outsmart logical thinking....where Barzal Chabot and Connor now.

Says you and who are you. I put up the scouting services ranking a couple posts above. But you know better right. Well I don’t and i follow the rankings and see how it goes. You just can’t blurt that and expect no debate would be slim chanceDo not pick for need. Schneider is not a top 15 pick quality player. He is only even considered in that range because the D in this draft are awful.
You know, they tend to say that every year, but looking back in hindsight when is that ever really the case.Do not pick for need. Schneider is not a top 15 pick quality player. He is only even considered in that range because the D in this draft are awful.

Defensemen of Schneider’s caliber are often a tough projection. [...] Unless a team is truly enamored by Schneider’s play, expect him to fall between the 18th and 25th picks for this year’s draft.
We need RD. Not a center, not a winger, and n0t a LD. We need a shut down right Defenceman. What is so hard about this concept. Sure I like other players as well but we are not drafting top 10, we can pick for need.
Also it's unlikely that if we choose someone based on need, that player may not be ready right away and if he is, would he be impactful in the top 4? Also, team needs may change in a year.the last time we picked based on position in the 1st round was GOAT. Everyone knew we were taking a centre 1st that year.
Best available all day every day in the 1st round.
Deal with organizational depth in other rounds.

Shea Theodore was on the board still. That's who I wanted.the last time we picked based on position in the 1st round was GOAT. Everyone knew we were taking a centre 1st that year.

HockeyProspect has Schneider ranked 12th.
Has anyone bought the Black Book this year? What does it have to say about Schneider's skating and what is the reason behind their relatively high ranking comparing to other scouting agencies?
You good?
Anyway says most scouting reports:
https://thehockeywriters.com/braden-schneider-2020-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/
Pronman has him at 19
He is ranked anywhere from 13-30 on most scouting reports (TSN, McKeen, ISS, FC, EP, NHL Central Scouting, etc.) so its not like Im saying anything outlandish that would warrant that reaction.
From my, admittedly limited, viewing of him he is a high IQ low ceiling D with limited mobility. He doesnt have #1 potential and would be drafting "safe" which hasnt worked out for the leafs in the past.
