Who will the Leafs be taking in 2011 draft (25-40)?

[Dutch Dreams]

I want to see big forwards coming in.

At least one of McNeill, Jensen, Ambroz, Scheifele, Lessio, Rakell or Jenner should fall to our earliest pick, and a guy like Biggs or Jacobs should fall to our latest one, although I wouldn't mind taking a defenseman if we're able to select a quality powerforward with our first - a guy like Klefbom, Percy, Brodin, Clendening, Morrow, etc..

Who cares? its not like their picks matter more than 29 other teams'.

I think this thread in general should probably be on the Maple Leafs board.....you dont have Flyers or insert any other late 1st round teams fans coming on here saying who should be draft in the 1st round.

For the most part no one cares!

Why am I posting in this thread then?

Because its the hot topic of the night and I'm extremely board.

I'll say it again....keep your leafs chat in your leafs forum, then you wont have to argue your opinions soo much with people who generally hate the team you cheer for.

 

[UkraineTrain]

What about that Grimaldi kid?

 

[Riddarn]

Zibanejad.

 

[BusQuets]

joel armia?

 

[iBlaze81]

if Catenacci is available Burke will pass

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Tomas Jurco or McNeil at 25-30, Colin Jacobs at 31-35?

 

[richardn]

Daniel Catenacci, he has all the tools to be a solid two way 2nd line center. His work ethic and passion for the game is there. He will be a sure NHL player for sure in my oppinion.

 

[OMGaudreau]

Ask Don Cherry, he know's everything there is to know about the shrimpin business - I mean scouting business.

 

[KlattNazty]

Oleksiak, Jurco are my top ones. Id be pleased with jacobs, biggs, miller, ambroz. IMO if burke takes a defenceman, it will be one with huge potential (oleksiak), or hes taking two forwards. As much as we need powerforwards i hope he can get jurco. too much skill to pass on

What do you think it would take to move up from 25-30ish to 15-20ish

 

[Pick Six]

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.

Funny how you stopped at 2002. Why is that? Might be because he drafted Ryan Kesler the following year.

Burke was the GM when you're team drafted it's current top 3 scorers. It's amusing that some Vancouver fans give him no credit for their team.

 

[flamebird]

Catenacci/Grimaldi - Pick 1
Lessio/Jenner - Pick 2
Trocheck - Sleeper

 

[TheNorth]

Some bust

 

[NewEraGM]

no one cares!

 

[Ninety7]

Not Seguin !

 

[Neil Hamburger]

Trade up for Puempel?

 

[Garyboy]

Seth Ambroz.

Please no. His skating will keep him out of the league.

 

[Garyboy]

What about that Grimaldi kid?

I could actually see this happening. A supremely skilled American sniper......Burke tempted.

 

[Lier X Agerate]

From the few games I've seen of him, Puempel hasn't looked too good. That and Sgarbossa destroyed him and injured him the other day doesn't help. Catenacci just makes my jaw drop when I see him out there. Just pure speed and great hands. I'd like for the Avs to somehow scoop him up if he drops a bit. Other than that, Jurco is quite good too, have only seen 2 games of him though.

i see him trading up... or at least trying.

 

[Cool Beans Man]

I like Boone Jenner's potential at around where the pick may be
