Glass, Suzuki and Brannstrom. This Leafs fan who has fam in Vegas thinks that's a sexy, sexy start to the franchise.
Also, being an adult and not one of the legions of high school kids on hf, I can respect what GMGM is doing; he's aware that the team will probably be bad for 2 or 3 years so he loaded up on picks in the next few drafts. Different players start at different times (I think Glass could be ready near the end of 2017-18, Suzuki a year later and Brannstrom the year after), come off ELC deals at different times. You don't want to have to pay 3 or 4 kids big money at the same time. Long game.
Lots of picks to augment the base (Glass-Suzuki-Brannstrom-Theodore-Tuch-Neal-MAF are the core today, secondary pieces Marchessault-Leipsic-Schmidt-Carrier-Haula-Perron-Smith-Miller) in the coming drafts.
If I'm ever back and can pull myself away from the tables or the pool I'll be balls deep in a VGK game.
