Another big body

 

[stickty111]

Looks like an energizer bunny type. I'll take it

 

[Kiwi]

We aren't lacking size, that's for sure

 

[WTFMAN99]

He's apparently fast, defensively responsible and throws the body.

The upside might not be there but seems like a Dewar type addition.

 

[SprDaVE]

Very meh but it's a 7th round pick for a reason

If you go to the one minute mark of the game video, he's #12 who scores the goal.

#12 for Peterborough

Don't hate this. Remember him being a solid player when he visited Kitchener.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Well Sam McCue was from Tennessieu, where the cotton blooms and blows...

 

[Stephen]

Sounds like a big body who might one day soak up those playoff style minutes when it's big bodies just volleying the puck back and forth, little bumper car action. We need that today, but no idea what the organizational needs will be so many years down the line.

 

[AngryScotsman]

Nice to see some representation from the NOJHL.

Last one for the Leafs may have been Jake Muzzin off the top of my head..

So basically if things go well, a tenacious bottom 6 player who plays hard. Much happier taking this guy in round 7 than in round 1 (cough Tyler Biggs)

 

[4thline]

23 goals from a 7th rounder looks a whole lot more impressive than 37 points.

One of the guys that missed his minor midget year to covid, but has been on a pretty strong track since. Took a massive step from U18 to U19, let's see if he can do it again.

It's why I hated seeing all the draft picks flipped at past trade deadlines. The draft is all about getting lottery tickets and hope you get some luck.

The Leafs improved scouting so they could dump more picks.

 

[Dayjobdave]

The kid looks like a hockey player in the interviews.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Looking like we may have a sleep pick here. 6 foot 2 190 pound winger

 

[DarkKnight]

McCue nation unite!

 

[WTFMAN99]

Offense has been there in a way I never expected but it's certainly nice.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Watched alot of McCue locally before he was drafted to the Petes. Was teammates with Chicago 3rd rounder Alex Pharand.

Pharand was the more complete player, still is really, but McCue always had a nose for the net. Always found ways to score. Nice to see the numbers reflect that. Is a Cy Young type guy.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Always fun to see a late rounder pick up production like this
