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

[aingefan]

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

That’s not accurate.

 

[TheRumble]

I don't follow prospects at all but....

The rumoured players that were gonna go to the Leafs are all gone: Ohgren, Mcgroaty, Ostlund, Mateychuk. The remaining guy was Jaggar Firkus, if they traded the 25th pick they either weren't that interested in him or they felt that he'd be available at 38th.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

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

he must be really banged up I guess

 

[LaPlante94]

So does this mean we'll be making a move for Kuemper or Husso now during free agency?

 

[Racer88]

Dropping spots to dump Mrazek may not seem to bad but once again we have to give up something because of a previous crappy move.

 

[Stephen]

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.

Context is the Leafs are in an asset burning mode to cover for their constant “bets”. This isn’t the way to build a sustainable program.

 

[cgc83]

marzack is gone , praise the lord

 

[rocketman588]

So I guess we make a run at Jack or keumper?

 

[keonsbitterness]

woke up from nap just in time to watch the only pick that matters...

and now it's a trade lol

Maybe you're dreaming.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

It was a stupid move to sign Mrazek to 3.5 million a year in the first place.

Well if they were going to dump him at the first sign of adversity, then yes.

In general, no. This does not seem like a "Dubas" move to me. Just like he said in his presser yesterday, he has the large track record of success.

The only thing is if he is so damaged from those three groin injuries that they don't think he is going to recover, which seemed to be the nail in 2 Medical Staff members coffins (including the Director). Dubas was definitely done with these guys with no prior injuries getting hampered by injuries.

That is the line of thinking I am going with, because otherwise Dubas needs to really stop contradicting his own plan.

 

[TMLeafer]

Even though he was crap on the ice, seemed like a solid dude in interviews.

 

[BigBlu]

That’s a public admission of how you F’ D up

 

[Nylander88]

There's definitely a chance we could get a guy like Del Bel Belluz or Beck at 38. Or even Firkus due to his size

 

[Stand Witness]

It blows my mind people are saying the Leafs gave up a first (1.25) but are completely ignoring getting back a 2nd (2.05).

Like lets get real here folks. Pick 25 vs pick 38 is almost identical.

 

[Stephen]

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.

There’s a 99% chance we regret some impact player picked 25th-37th.

 

[Future]

Why do they look so depressed then?

And why is Yzerman giving Dubas a pep talk at the draft table?

 

[Thornbury]

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.

Kyle looks like he is going to cry.

 

[Stephen]

Technically he traded a 1st and a second for a higher second and getting rid of Ritchie and mrazek

So bad.

 

[Racer88]

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

Yup. The yearly bleeding off of assets to cover poor previous choices

 

[Apex Predator]

We’re going to be hearing about this pick for years to come…. Sam Rinzel

 

[93LEAFS]

like this pick for Chicago. Very high risk, but great upside.

 

[Griffin76]

Chicago tanking for Bedard??

 

[Canada4Gold]

Sign Husso. Flip Hirvonen and Rindell for Samsonov. Run that as the tandem. Lambert drops to 38

 

[saffronleaf]

Maybe you're dreaming.

 

[ULF_55]

The cost is 13 spots in the draft.

So it isn't like they gave up a 1st. round pick and got nothing in return.
