Lol.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Disagree. I think Suzuki is gonna just explode this season, and is gonna be at minimum Nazem Kadri level.

Kaliyev imo at worst is gonna end up like Brandon Pirri, but Kaliyev just has "it". One of the highest potentials in the entire draft.

I LOVE Brink. Guys production is elite elite and his skill/skating/IQ is fantastic.

I think Kadri is his upside, and there's a lot that needs to get better for him to reach that level.

 

[Duffman955]

Still staying with my prediction of leafs first trade tomorow

They always say that. Always.

 

[MapleLeafs94]

Boooooo Boston

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Why has he dropped. Don't like his odds if he was passed on by all but a handful of teams.

Skating needs a lot of work. Defense needs a lot of work. Pure goal scorer who is one-dimensional. Not really a playmaker.

His goal scoring ability is elite, but the rest is average at best with a lot of key things well below average.

That's why he's dropping.

No not Tracey

There are plenty of examples to the contrary when players drop for no good reason and end up being great

 

[thewave]

Depends what we give up but I would trade up a little to grab Bubbles.

 

[Cor]

Wow, Tracey goes in round 1?!

 

[Kelly]

Wasn't it reported that was the Leafs guy?

 

[as Pure as Evil]

No not Tracey

haha guess we should just learn not to talk about players we want.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Welp, there goes Tracey. Another reach. But small skill winger gets taken.

I feel like Lavoie could be a Boston pick.

 

[Cor]

They always say that. Always.

To be fair, it's historically true.

More players get traded on Day 2 than Day 1 of the draft.

 

[Morgs]

Tracey was my guy. Reallllly was hoping he'd drop to us.

Fantastic pick by Anaheim.

 

[stickty111]

One of the players they invited for more testing.

 

[TheScandal89]

Why has he dropped. Don't like his odds if he was passed on by all but a handful of teams.

Yeah its understandable gms question his work ethic but none deny his talent. I think its a decent risk to take for a fair price.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Tracey was my guy. Reallllly was hoping he'd drop to us.

Fantastic pick by Anaheim.

You realize Brink and Kaliyev are still out there right?

Didn't you have them 6 and 10 on your board respectively? Where was Tracey?

 

[Cor]

Dubas and Dorion talking

 

[Dog]

Hmmm.. Most boring draft ever..

 

[stickty111]

 

[Stand Witness]

whats the catch with kaliyev?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Dubas is just a friendly guy.

 

[hamzarocks]

The sens pick is 32nd that could get us brink
