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

[stickty111]

No way this management team can reasonably gamble on Murray returning to his form from 5 years ago in such an important stage of the team’s development.

I doubt the idea is to have Murray as the starter

 

[TMLAM34]

That's a difficult trade to consider, the shiny #7 pick would help us down the road, but we would be committing to starting Murray which is a pretty big red flag for me, and you can't just bury that 6 million dollars or use him as a backup that would be like 10 million in net we can't afford.

So what would be the move after? Buy him out? Or truly take the 7th and gamble on Murray in net?

Apparently Ottawa was willing to retain some of Murray’s salary in the deal that fell apart. If Ottawa was willing to retain at least 1.25 million in Murray to drop his cap hit down to 5 million and we got the 7th overall pick for the 25th pick… You do that. Hopefully at this stage in Fleury’s career he takes a bit of a discount to sign here and you run a Fleury - Murray tandem for the next two years.

Well they gambled on Mrazek and he's had more groin pulls than a $12 Hooker.
The Soo connection is irresistible.

Once you are a Soo Greyhound, you are always a Greyhound...... And Greyhounds stick together...
I think......

It's only fair that Jack's replacement should be a Greyhound. Since your coach, GM and few other players already from Sooooooooooooooo

Not sure if it's been posted in any of the draft threads but I just heard about this. Lane Hutson showed up to the combine with a doctors note stating his bone age is not the same as his biological age and that he's not done growing. His brother grew to 5'11 between his 19th and 20th birthday. Might be true but I thought it was hilarious lol.

I heard it on a podcast and then checked it out for myself. It's right on the NHL.com site but it's not letting me copy the link for some reason

Edit-nvm got it to work

to drop down from 7 to 25 means they are more likely to retain less or any at all.

Dream list for today

- Muzzin dealt for a first round pick in the 10-20 range tonight
- Leafs move their first in a blockbuster package for an impact player
- With the other pick, take BPA or trade back for more tickets if no one stands out. Try and get a 2nd round pick trading from ~17th > late 20's or 13th > 20th OA

Exit the draft with a new prospect, an impact roster player, and more draft capital for tomorrow

My guess is we trade back for more picks if we don't trade the pick for a goalie upgrade or help on wing.
Russian picks are super scary this year
hope Owen Pickering falls to us


I have a felling we move the pick....Bryce McConnell-Barker is ranked 34th and can you guess his JR team? He is 6'1 and almost 200lbs so he may not fit our type of player lol

Knies is a shrimp right? Why are posters so generic and repetitive

Fluery is getting old and Murray is terrible, that 7th pick is very shiny and nice but if we are in win now I feel Campbell is better than an old Fleury and a shell of a goalie in Murray personally.

Would people be upset if Dubas traded the 25th pick to Arizona for the 32nd and 34th pick?

Thats too much from Arizona. It would be more like 25 for 32 and 48 or something for example

 

[I am Canadian]

Hope leafs can get a mid 2nd for Kerfoot

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[BayStBullies]

The reason it could happen is because Ottawa nearly had a deal with Buffalo for their 16th pick and Ottawa giving up the 7th pick. Murray just wouldn't waive.

Source with those draft details?

 

[LaPlante94]

Ottawa could be an offensive threat this year if they sign some of the people they've been linked too. I've seen Forsberg, Giroux and Kadri I believe.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I think if we all come together and tweet Clifford to LA we can make something happen.

Lets get this trending ASAP.

That money likely just went to paying Debrincat. I can't see them spending much over the floor until the estate is settled and they are sold off.

Muzzin won’t return a mid round 1st unfortunately

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

What are people's thoughts on Rinzel? I haven't watched him but my buddy keeps raving about him. Looking for more opinions

Keep you eye on these guys and Leafs draft picks.

Bryce McConnell-Barker (C), Kirill Kudryavtsev (D), Caeden Carlisle (D ) or Owen Allard (C)

 

[stickty111]

It's disgusting this guy was making our pick decisions in the draft.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

That's a great trade for Ottawa I think. You can only hope a 7th overall becomes a 40 goal scorer. The chances of that have to be around 1-5% I'd think.

I wonder if tonight is the night we swing for the fences and acquire Gibson.
