GDT: 2022 NHL Draft Round 1 - Leafs Currently Pick 38th

[Stephen]

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

I think poster meant Russian out of Russia.

 

[Leafidelity]

We're going to pick Lambert and all the Uncles on twitter are going to froth at the mouth over him 24/7 like they do Nylander

 

[Morgs]

My money has Pittsburgh taking Howard

 

[kk87]

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.

He was a consensus top 2 pick a couple years ago. That kind of skill doesn't disappear.

I much rather take a guy that has the skill to be considered a top 2 talent at any point, rather than a guy that floated in the 20-30 range all year.

I feel like Lambert might go here. Could also see any US NTDP player going here

 

[al secord]

Burke pickled again

Lambert wouldn’t fit the high IQ profile though. I wonder if Firkus and Yurov might be more the Leafs style.

 

[TimeZone]

Lambert to Pitts?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I really hope we don't make some stupid trade for Matt Murray. I just have this feeling in my bones that Dubas is trying to get this guy right now.

He checks off all the boxes as for as I call tell:

From Soo -> check

 

[Maple Leaf]

burrke o lol o

 

[Steven1562]

Yurov would be a nice get at #25 even with the russian situation. Yurov-Amirov it rhymes lol.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Oh wow I got 2 in a row right. My first 2 right since Cooley at 3

Two years of poor development and questionable IQ might be good reasons to avoid that player.

 

[The Masters]

pickering gone

they shoul;d pick happy gilmour

 

[The Podium]

Hoping for Yurov

 

[Future]

Night ruined. See ya.

Looking forward to seeing which manlet we picked tomorrow morning.

 

[Morgs]

Pickering I liked more than Bischel, but I'm very happy Lambert didn't come out of his mouth.

 

[howlman]

Lambert or Goyette

Yep, it is why they kept McCann too, that Soo connection

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I hated Burke as a GM as I didn't agree with his rebuild on the fly approach but he was an entertaining dude no doubt. I remember him trying to bring back the exasperated loose tie look pretty hard lol.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Lambert would be pretty fun

 

[keonsbitterness]

Hit up San jose, they got a few early 2nds

They probably want volume.

 

[Fogelhund]

Yurov, Lambert, Firkus still on the board. We are going to have the choice of some good offensive talent.

 

[aingefan]

Hoping for Yurov

Yeah, what’s this guy’s profile?

 

[Holls Blackmail]

At 25....don't you at least think about taking a home run swing hoping playing with AM, MM and JT could just be the motivation he needs?
