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

[ToneDog]

Not a bad sweetener but f*** you Kyle.

 

[saffronleaf]

LOL... ok I guess.

 

[GQS]

Could we have not gotten at least one more pick out of this trade?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

just to deprive those habs clowns from boooing us, that deal is GOLD JERRY

13 spots to get rid of the Mrazek deal isn't terrible

 

[sylejman]

We should have traded up to grab a top 10 talent in yurov, not trade down again to clean another contract mistake. Im a dubas supporter but it's getting annoying.

25 to 38 is essentially equal to value of about a mid 2nd. So essentially they trade down to get a mid 2nd(value) and flip that pick to dump Mrazek

I'd take Howard, Lambert over just about anyone who will be available in the mid second round.

His f*** up is the reason this needs to transpire.

 

[SprDaVE]

He’s traded a first and second to get rid of Ritichie and Mrazek. Let that sink in for a moment.

He traded down to get rid of Mrazek, context matters. The price is fine to do. Better to fix mistakes before it blows up.

Leafs have now 3.8M more cap space they didn't have and they still have for moving down.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

It really pisses me off that Dubas is wasting first round picks to dump shitty contracts

 

[1specter]

Terrible talent evaluation by Dubas and the pro scouts. Same thing with Ritchie. Dubas' two prize offseason acquisitions were huge duds along with Foligno in the playoffs.

They need to update to their spreadsheet models. Whatever it is they're using currently sucks ass.

Eh, I disliked both moves but it seems unfair to grade Dubas solely on those while ignoring how well the Kampf, Kase and Bunting acquisitions turned out this year. Also adding Gio was a good move. Most of Dubas' additions have been decent the last two seasons.

[57 Years No Cup]

Another first round pick gone to fix Dubas' mistake.

 

[francis246]

Another first round to get rid of a bad contract. f*** you Dubas. I can’t support this guy anymore.

 

[Knies iT]

Get ready for this Chicago pick....this will be the guy forever linked to us lol

Konecny 2.0

 

[Morgs]

I'm going to wait and see who's available before I get really mad about this.

If we manage to get Trikizov, Lambert, or Goyette I'm happy.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Mazerk loloololololooolool

 

[Burnie97]

Seems Leafs hoped for a particular guy and when he was gone they probably have 5 more they figure they like ready at 38 ... so you get rid of 3.5 million or so for moving back. It's a good move considering. Bad signing but you can't win them all.

 

[Leaf Fans]

He’s traded a first and second to get rid of Ritichie and Mrazek. Let that sink in for a moment.

He traded down on got the second, and gave up Mrazek instead of the 3rd or 4th they would have got for the trade down.

 

[al secord]

"Thought he was a buyout candidate " in what world did you think they would buy out that contract?

 

[TheShape]

Looks like the leafs were going to take Yurov

 

[Voodoo Child]

Is there really a major gap between picks 25 and 38? It’s a little salty since it’s just Dubas fixing his own mistake, but 3.8 in cap savings.

Hopefully adding 2 to that for Holl and sadly 3.5 for Kerfoot. Come on down, Ville Husso.

Still sucks. Kyle blew it last year signing Mrazek and Ritchie. Bunting saved his ass.

 

[Apex Predator]

I’m curious to see who they draft tomorrow

It's not terrible but it sucks to keep trading away 1sts to get rid of bad UFA signings
