[Joey Hoser]

What the heck is taking so long to finish up AJ and KK's contracts?

The draft, probably?

Confirming they are taller than 6’0

 

[Warden of the North]

Marner's contract situation ?

I doubt they'd be this far a long in the process if they were waiting for Marner

 

[socko]

Larkin's bought zero UFA years.

Pretty sure it was one. He didn't have the ELC slide.

Confirming they are taller than 6’0

The irony is arguably the biggest hit of the playoffs was laid by 5'9 Torey Krug. Hell, the Bruins as a whole arent even that big.

 

[Cor]

Rule out Hamilton or Pesce

 

[leafsleafs]

That staring yourself blind on one attribute isn't very valuable, especially not on a draft where we'd be lucky if two of these picks matter at all.

Agree on that.

And two might be pushing it.

Unless Bergman gets the rest of the picks.

Just don’t like the myopic view displayed so far. Sure, there are trades and FA, and let’s hope the Leafs do well there.

Drafting a guy with size once in a while isn’t a bad thing.

Detroit got Carter Gylander? Feels like they're just making names up this far into the draft.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Nylander gets paid the same per game over the course of his contract as anyone else who signed a $7.5 contract. His $6.96 cap hit going forward is only because he sat out for a third of this season (not to mention he didn't bother showing up in shape for the remaining 2/3rds). Teravainen is a good deal, Larkin is a good deal, Pastrnak is a good deal, Nylander is a bad deal.

Tavares at $11 would have been a bad deal if he was a RFA.

What a mess.

No point in continuing.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Gylander? Feels like they're just making names up this far into the draft.

Actually not a bad prospect. He was apparently attracting interest by multiple teams and I'm surprised he didn't go earlier.

The irony is arguably the biggest hit of the playoffs was laid by 5'9 Torey Krug. Hell, the Bruins as a whole arent even that big.

I think the hit on Krug was more impressive.

 

[Stand Witness]

The poor 1 or 2 guys on the USNTDP who don't get drafted lol

 

[Visnovsky]

I'm gonna be surprised if Cole Mackay doesn't find his way to Toronto in the last two picks, assuming he doesn't get picked before.

That reminds me of the names I used to make up when I was a kid creating my own imaginary hockey teams.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Rule out Hamilton or Pesce

I think Carolina options aren't likely now.

 

[kk87]

I thought Constantinou would be a borderline second rounder lmao

Our 204th pick coming up, might make or break the draft for us




/s

 

[Warden of the North]

NHL network making croissant jokes

 

[Alerion]

Expecting a mobile 6'5 RHD that can step into the lineup right away here in the 7th, Dubas better not disappoint.

 

[I am Canadian]

I thought Constantinou would be a borderline second rounder lmao

What is going on he's ranked around 60 on many scouting reports

 

[Stand Witness]

Kalle Loponen at eliteprospects.com

 

[Kamiccolo]

Loponen is our pick. Sounds like a Pokemon

 

[Rare Jewel]

He's a high risk player.

Great skater though.

 

[MJ65]

Leafs on board now

 

[kk87]

He's a high risk player.

Great skater though.

Using "high risk player" to justify not taking a guy with a 2nd round skillset in the 7th round is laughable (not that you're saying that, just commenting)
