[Kamiccolo]

Well... We have July 1 and then a long offseason.

 

[Stand Witness]

Habs just drafted a guy out of AAA

 

[Canada4Gold]

Take Dustin Wolf dammit

They wont, we don’t like small goalies

 

[Stand Witness]

Leafs trade their pick

 

[MyBudJT]

Traded 208!

 

[cookie]

Habs just drafted a guy out of AAA

6'6 defender that wasn't setting the league aflame, crazy project pick.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Traded the pick?

 

[PemIceKing]

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

Yep. Business is business. I think this forces Marner’s hand a bit. I do believe Marner wants to win in Toronto. I want to see LV trade Miller for a 2021 second and b prospect. That would work.

 

[Stand Witness]

6'6 defender that wasn't setting the league aflame, crazy project pick.

It literally might be the most 'what' pick of all time. Like the project pick of all projects. I bet every other person in the building looked him up right away.

 

[Deebo]

To the Blues it seems.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Obviously for Fabbri

 

[Cotton]

Take Dustin Wolf dammit

They wont, we don’t like small goalies

Why does nobody want him?

 

[Stand Witness]

Why does nobody want him?

6'0 goalie

 

[stickty111]

We traded the last pick.

 

[Rare Jewel]

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)

Oh I agree. I would have picked him with one of our 4ths.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Traded to the Blues for a 2020 7th.

 

[Warden of the North]

The 'ol trade 7th round picks.

 

[Kamiccolo]

What was the trade??

 

[LaPlante94]

It literally might be the most 'what' pick of all time. Like the project pick of all projects. I bet every other person in the building looked him up right away.

Atlanta drafted a guy playing Jr B in St Catharines in the 1st round like 10 years ago. Now that was crazy.

 

[Cotton]

6'0 goalie

...that's it?

Holy moly.

 

[Warden of the North]

I really do not understand why teams do this?

Like, is the difference in 7th round picks in a given year that different that it makes it worth it?

I guess the only upside is it delays the need to offer contracts so soon.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Why does nobody want him?

Beacause he is 5'11. He's a solid goalie with excellent tools and good numbers to boot but being sub 6' is scary to NHL teams

 

[Canada4Gold]

Traded to the Blues for a 2020 7th.

That’s interesting? Reverse of the Buffalo trade we made last year in the 6th round. Guess our board must have been empty? Which means they probably won’t sign any undrafted free agents f anyone was hoping

Nobody left they wanted probably.

That's nonsense, he's more than worth the gamble and it looks like he's going undrafted.
