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

[Tie Domi Esquire]

this is what happens when you have zero draft picks

 

[francis246]

… that’s a really bad deal it seems

Don’t love it either but I don’t think there was anyone who was really special.

 

[al secord]

You could tell by how bored Wes looked that we were movin' on back

 

[crump]

Welp. I’ll watch the rest later. Wouldn’t be Canada Day weekend without the Leafs blue balling me.

 

[sxvnert]

Some positives: 2025 is a deeper draft and/or now leafs have some ammo at the deadline.

 

[AcerComputer]

Stupid trade to get a 7th

 

[LeafsStorm]

Lol....

 

[al secord]

Wes will get his Precious with more bullets.

 

[weems]

Why do people not like this trade? Late 2nd for a 2nd next year and a late round pick this year seems fine enough...gives us an actual decent pick for next year as well.

These are not sexy moves for today.

Fans want action.

 

[Morgs]

Why do we get such bad value in trades consistently

 

[notbias]

this is what happens when you have zero draft picks

Shouldn't have traded the 6 picks this year for 13th forwards and 7th Ds

 

[Rare Jewel]

I say this with hindsight, but the play should've been to move 58 + 1 or even 2 of the 5ths to get a lower 2nd.

 

[AcerComputer]

Mews would have been good value there.

 

[francis246]

Stupid trade to get a 7th

We aren’t doing it to get a 7th. We didn’t to get a 2nd in next years draft which is deeper and give us a top 64 pick in next years draft.

We have no picks until round 5 next year

 

[Al14]

More buffoonery IMHO !!! Take the best player available today.

Are they hoping that the Panthers tank next season?

I don't think the player they select in the bottom of round 2 next year will be any better than this years pick at 58. Next years pick will also be farther away from graduating to the NHL.

 

[SprDaVE]

Well Clark did say they wanted more bullets.

Makes sense when our scouting staff is looking very strong, give them as many picks as possible.

It does but if they want more picks... There's a very straight forward way of achieving that. Trade some god damn players...

 

[francis246]

Mews would have been good value there.

How? Mews was ranked as a 1st round talent to start the year, he’s now gonna go in the third round most likely. There’s something about his game a lot of scouts don’t like

 

[weems]

Maybe they do but instead of picks the return might be already drafted prospects.

 

[Mess]

Treliving trying to recover from the Dubas Scorched Earth draft pick carnage .. A clueless Dubas had already traded away Leafs 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks
from next years 2025 draft class.

Now Leafs have a 2nd round pick in 2025 as a result of trading back in 2024.

This after leaving BT only 3 surviving picks from 2023.

 

[Stand Witness]

Probably need some bullets for next year. Whether it be for trades or for a draft pick, I’ fine with it.

 

[Jojalu]

It does but if they want more picks... There's a very straight forward way of achieving that. Trade some god damn players...

My exact sentiment

 

[Roo]

If next years draft is much deeper, it makes sense. Esp if they just plan to take their guy with the 3rd round pick. That’s the only way I see this trade making sense.

 

[LeafParade]

So when will the 4th round start so I know when to come back.

 

[sxvnert]

Leafs highest pick in 2025

 

[shaner8989]

We moved down from 23 to 31 all for a late 2nd in 2025 all to get a guy we could of had in the 3rd round

Lost out on Solberg and Greentree in the process

That’s what you call you pathetic
