Namestnikov, Catenacci are who I would aim for.
Burke will probably move up in the draft and target matt puempel.

Who will the Leafs be taking in 2011 draft (25-40)?
- Thread starter Oiffub
- Start date
I suspect any minute now the trade proposals will be the -leafs second zamboni plus the flyers 3rd and a bag of used towels for John Tarvares....10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1...lol

Bring on RNH!!
But hey you never know he might slide a little to mid teens by the end of the season and we can always trade up.
Yeah that normally doesn't happen to 17 year olds who are a couple points out of leading their league in scoring and averaging 3 pts a game over the past 10.
A guy I can see falling to the Leafs second pick is Dmitrij Jaskin. Apparently he's very good and some scouts say that if he'd played in the WJC (was injured) that he'd probably be in the top 15 right now. I'd love for the Leafs to take a flyer on him with the second pick if he's available. Maybe Lucas Lessio, Matt Puempel or David Musil with the first.
Pick Six
@Lafortune_FC
Notice those picks were top 3?
What about 2000? Nathan Smith....need I say more
2001....Umberger not a bad pick, but Burke is so stubborn he wouldnt sign him and traded him for Marty Rucinsky. Ouch.
2002....traded it....cant remember for what, but it didnt turn out well.
It's okay to like your team, but to suggest Brian Burke is good at drafting is incorrect.

Schiefele, zibanejad, rask, rakell, catenacci, jenner, prince, jurco, jaskin, etc. Any two of those and we'd have a great draft in just the first two rounds!

hmmm, if i know hockey, it is the scouts who technically draft the players. Sure the GM can go against what they tell him but how often does that happen.
Whoever the Leafs draft will become in instant blue chipper with a hall of fame career ahead of this great player. Cant wait !

Ill be the Generals Scout . lol jk.
my thoughts:
Take Lessio and Jennsen if available.
Avoid Jenner.
Lucas and Niklas have just scrapped the surface of there true potential. At the start of the year, when Nik was quietly ripping it up....i was hoping he didnt make too much waves and fall to the second. He will be a top player in the OHL next year, when he comes back for only his 2nd season.
Lucas needs more work. He has all the tools and seems like a really focused guy. To me he seems like someone who will work really hard to improve his weaknesses. And like Nik, he will likely have a breakout year next year; when he can settle into a more significant role.
Boone, he really doesnt impress me. He has been bounced around on different lines....but doesnt seems to consistently play at the level i expect of him....People say he is somewhat of a crash and bang, drive the net type of player....but i dont see it.
SAFE BET= JENNSEN. (would be great for him to learn how to use his size, speed and hands from Kulemin)
WILDCARD=LESSIO

To suggest that Burke is the person who was drafting is incorrect. That's the job of the scouting department.
