Prospect Info: [2024] 7th rd selection - #200 OA - LD, Matt Lahey - Nanaimo Clippers, BCHL (6′5″/203lb)

[Jee]

His fans have to be called the Matt Lahey Crew

 

[TheBeastCoast]

These very long term projects rarely ever work for the Leafs. He's going to the USHL next season, then the Clarkson afterwards. Unless he spikes in development, I wouldn't expect him to be on the Marlies for 5 years

I would say it is pretty safe statement to make that most 7th round long term projects don't work out for every team in the league and not just the Leafs lol

That's fair and very true. I meant it more in the general sense regardless of where they are picked.

I honestly think if you look around the league....a surprising amount of late round Leaf draft picks are carving out really good NHL careers. We just haven't been able to be the ones to benefit from that on a lot of occasions for a number of reasons.

Now all they need to do is sign Randy Carlyle to keep his drinking under control and we might just have a gem on our hands boys.

If this wasn't the first thing that came to mind when you saw the Lahey name, you're probably not Canadian.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Toronto has picked 200th overall 1 time in their history, selecting Paul Higgins in 1980.

I remember Paul back in the day, a real gentle soul.

Alot of it is from A new GM durning asset change over of personal.
