Nice set up Cor.

My dropper is Podkolzin. The international performance at the beginning of the year will keep him high, but he dropped over the year IMO. I am not sure he is the elite talent he was pegged to be, but will still be one great two-way player I am sure.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

We need to get a couple of players here. There will be good players there for us. It’s a nice draft.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

 

[Mr Hockey]

no real interest in the draft with no 1st, I will be curious to see if there is a Leaf trade

 

[crump]

Lots of future Growlers and Marlies. Always hope to find a gem though, there out there.

 

[Duffman955]

Wow. Lack of enthusiasm

I like the draft because we can discuss new leafs players that we likely never heard of.

Dont forget, lots of great Dmen come from round 2. Over the years our late round picks have become decent players.

 

[Rare Jewel]

If we stay with the 53rd pick, it'll be interesting to see what may be there. Akil Thomas nearly got to our 2nd last year.

 

[Duffman955]

I like a bunch of guys around 53. Afanasyev would be my go to.

6'4 skilled LW/C

 

[thewave]

 

[WestCoastLeafs]

I'll be watching the first round just for the trades. (Hopefully involving the Leafs.)

 

[MyBudJT]

Gotta think there is a solid chance the Leafs make a trade today.

1st time we haven’t had a 1st round pick since 2007. I remember people getting excited for Dale Mitchell

Edit: 2010* I thought Biggs was 2010 and Percy was 2011, but they were both 2011. Ehh, people still got overexcited for Brad Ross too

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Which D+1 are we taking a round too early this year?

 

[Keon1963]

I am a "Draft Junkie" and really disappointed in not having a 1st round pick. I hope we can get a good 2nd round pick and a mid-round sleeper. We have enough "stars" and now need to draft depth.

 

[Stigma]

I like a bunch of guys around 53. Afanasyev would be my go to.

6'4 skilled LW/C

Yes. Him, Foote or a dropper.

Take Constantinou at 84 and Donovan at 115. The rest can include a goalie, Russians, and Swedes.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Give me a couple of the WHL goalies, some D-men that can move the puck and some center depth!

Honestly I was a big fan of last years draft vs. the big and do nothing else drafts Lou had. I another one like last year in rounds 2-7 and I'll be happy.

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

I can't believe the Leafs missed on two first rounders in the same year.

Was hoping to get tickets to the draft, since it's my birthday, but they were all sold out in the first couple of minutes. Later you could find a package of 4 tickets in the nose-bleeds for $1000 being sold on Craigslist.

Instead, I will listen to the first bit of it during my commute, then take my son out for a birthday dinner.

Saturday, I may attend Steve Dangle's post-draft meetup at the Regal Beagle, the unofficial Leafs hangout in Vancouver. So thats about all the draft excitement I have lined up.

We can all send a thank you to Burkie and his make North American hockey players great again approach.

The Don Cherry of GM's.

Took my sons to the draft here in Calgary 2000 for about $10-$20 a ticket or something.

Perhaps it has got better, but really find watching at home gives more time for food, drinks, research, and talking to jerks on here.

 

[Mess]

Yes. Him, Foote or a dropper.

Take Constantinou at 84 and Donovan at 115. The rest can include a goalie, Russians, and Swedes.

We're going to likley need to trade up to get Foote as he is likely a late 1st rounder, or early 2nd. Craig Button in his TSN Mock draft had him going 30th.

Nolan plays for my Kelowna Rockets and he is my favourite current player.

He is the other son of Adan Foote, the younger brother of TB who took Callen a couple years back right before we took Liljegren.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hoping for an uncommon trade today

 

[Jozay]

Is the draft today?

 

[SprDaVE]

I'm so ready to be disappointed!
