[A1LeafNation]

To Tor: 32 + 36
To Ari: 25

Would be nice

 

[darrylsittler27]

Brad Lambert.

 

[TimeZone]

Snuggerud, anyone?

No ty

 

[MarMarSab3]

Dammit my top pick

 

[Griffin76]

As a kid it was always my dream to have Pierre McGuire stand uncomfortably close to me.

And ask how your breath is?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Volume didn't work so well in 2016

We don't have an idiot drafting like we did in 2016, and we didn't trade down in 2016.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Miro the first Russian off the board, wow.

I'm shocked if someone is taking a Russian it's not Yurov. That gives me legitimate hope we might take him.

Minty? or were u just meaning players playing in Russia?

 

[Bellefour20]

Chances Lambert falls to us?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Assuming Snuggerud and/or Howard go we're gonna be able to get one of Lambert, Yurov or Trikozov. That's high end upside at 25.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Oops wrong thread. My bad,

 

[Morgs]

Minty? or were u just meaning players playing in Russia?

Yeah playing in Russia. I keep not counting him even though he obviously counts.

 

[francis246]

No trade back. Get the right guy out of the bunch and stop betting on volume.

Exactly, I don’t know why so many people are on the trade back train. It has worked out for us 1 time. That’s it and even then we are still waiting to see if those prospects develop

 

[Holls Blackmail]

(he had cancer and had to shave his head)

How to feel like a POS in less than 5 seconds after posting, right?

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Yurov, Pickering, Kulich, Snuggerud and Firkus.

Trade back territory.

I really like Howard as well

 

[kk87]

How do you not take Lambert at 25? Even though his development has slowed, you can't pass up that kind of skill late in the first.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Market deficiency - it's the Dubas Special.

its free real estate

 

[MarMarSab3]

Yurov, Trikozov, Snuggerud, Lambert please lord pleeeeease

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Ovie is boys with Putin so they can get him down no matter what

Really? I didn't know that

 

[Stephen]

At this point, there is no "right guy out of the bunch"... Just like in 2018.

I don’t have much of a horse in this race but if the trade down is triggered by some combination of Kemel, Ohgren and Ostlund being taken, it might be a good example of when you actually might want to trade up to guarantee you’re getting a guy you want to build with.

Toronto galaxy brains on probability, interchangeability, making bets and I dunno. Track record isn’t great.

 

[al secord]

(he had cancer and had to shave his head)

Makes it even more impressive

 

[Morgs]

6. Yurov
11. Trikizov
16. Lambert
17. Goyette
20. Chesley

Prior to this season, he was a guy that was slated to go top 5 or top 10, wasn't he?

This was similar to Liljegren.

For the same reasons he could be there at 25.

 

[TimeZone]

One of Howard, Yurov, Lambert are likely to be there at 25....interesting.
