2024 Draft Thread - Friday June 28 and Saturday June 29 - Sphere Las Vegas

[Byron Bitz]

Wes Clark probably had another big reach as his BPA and Brad Treliving said nope not happening at 23

 

[LeafsStorm]

Imagine missing on Beaudoin and Solberg lol

 

[Metroid]

Interesting
Soldberg and Beaudoin have been draft hunks
And they went right where we supposed to pick
Interesting what we do at 31 and 58

Remember that Christmas morning when your parents gave your gift to the neighbor, and said they would get you two gifts on Boxing Day? Good times.

 

[Shooter2x]

Jeez speed up the picks when it gets to this range. Already waited 10 hours to get to 23 now another 50 hours to go from 23 to 31

 

[Lemontree]

We moved back 8 slots, they moved back 14, so that explains the extra pick they got for next year. Both trades seem solid.

Agreed. I like the idea of getting a 2nd round next year since Dubas already pissed away those early picks.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

That Avs trade was way better than the one the Leafs did LOL

 

[JSn0w93]

I’ve got to trust the staff, but I really feel we might have just made a mistake. Sometimes you’ve got to take the player that falls to you and not galaxy brain it as this organization is doing across multiple regimes.

 

[sxvnert]

Maybe it's knights Sam OReilly

 

[francis246]

This is something a budget sunbelt scouting staff says, the highest paid staff in the league saying this is comical.

Wtf are you talking about, Colorado just traded back and they’ve won a Stanley cup. So are they also stupid for trading back?

If two teams trade back in the draft back to back picks, that should tell you something.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I’m thinking Emery or Elick are targets at 31

Maybe hoping someone like Vanacker or Basha falls in the 2nd

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Pulkkinen, Vamacker, chernyshov and , what the hell, Letoirneau too

 

[uncleben]

I think the return on their first was a tad bit light (would like liked another 4th maybe - in this year or next), but not much to cry over. They need picks. Getting an additional 2nd is helpful for a team that had 3 picks last year.

The trade was just about on the nose to historical trades

 

[notbias]

That Avs trade was way better than the one the Leafs did LOL

It wasn't... it was a 71st pick for 7 extra spots... seems similar

 

[fahad203]

Boston gonna pick Sam O'Reilly. Which will really suck

 

[MarMarSab3]

Love that leaf trade

 

[Nineteen67]

The best thing about round 1…. Tij I didn’t go to that team out east.

 

[IrishInOntario]

I really dislike the Leafs strategy of moving back every. single. year. I wish just once they'd target someone higher and move up to get their guy instead of trying to be smarter than everyone else and picking the scraps from other teams.

It just wreaks of the Shanahan and company continuing to think they're simply smarter than the rest of the league's management. They can build a team salary structure that nobody else employs and win with it and they can use their super secret draft strategy and win with it... Yet we're still waiting on tangible results...

 

[SprDaVE]

Boston gonna pick Sam O'Reilly. Which will really suck

Nope. The long-term project Letourneau

 

[tmlms13]

Starting to look at Guys like Badinka and Emery with the 31st. Even Letourneau I'd like. Just hope it's a D or C.

Anyone listed as a C that isn't drafted by now will end up as a winger in the NHL

 

[Morgs]

It wasn't... it was a 71st pick for 7 extra spots... seems sisimilar

And a 2nd next year

 

[al secord]

Did Seabass take a puck to the face? He's got quite the welt.

 

[jaric1862]

Letourneau picked ...

 

[Lemontree]

Imagine missing on Beaudoin and Solberg lol

What are your NHL projections for these 2 players? Seems suspect to say its a "miss" right now.

 

[Al14]

WTF is our management doing? Take the best player at 23 FFS !!!

The 2nd round pick ( 58th ) will likely not even make the NHL unless our Leafs get extremely lucky !!!
