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

Wtf is even our draft this year

 

[HockeyVirus]

That pick has to be the weirdest I can remember. His production has been poor at every level while having completely average height and way below average weight.

But if there’s anyone to trust more than Wes Clark, it’s Thommie Bergman.

Well, probably very high IQ and high workethic. They are thinking they can feed him 5 chickens a day for the next 5 years to gain some muscle and that alone will massively improve his physical tools

 

[notbias]

The last later-round Swedes we drafted (assuming both were Bergman), were Hildeby and Holmberg... I always like giving Bergman a pick, so hopefully he pushed for this one and thinks highly of him.

 

[stats1]

Leafs are a honestly a shit show right now

 

[hamzarocks]

Leafs will beat boston in 2031, panthers in 2032

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Is Bergman still scouting for us? I have a lot of faith in him as well.

Yes but on EP it says he's an amateur scout. Doesn't even say he's a European scout anymore. Not sure if that makes a difference.

 

[hamzarocks]

Everyone will believe it then.


Have they been trying?

If Treliving/Shanny arent looking to recoup picks via kampf and jarkork wtf are they doing

Marner seems to be coming back/not dealt at minimum

We are looking to run the same core with roy + zadorov/tanev added

 

[notbias]

Yes but on EP it says he's an amateur scout. Doesn't even say he's a European scout anymore. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I feel like he's got to still be our Swedish guy still, looks like he is 76, no way he decided to start travelling at this point.

In that case, the pick intrigues me a lot more, if they used a 4th on someone who was unranked (I think), then he likely pushed for it, must see something.

 

[keonsbitterness]

6'1" 143 can't be right.

 

[rojac]

Are people being serious when they're asking if Keith Pelley is at the draft table? Pelley is not part of the Leafs organization which is headed by Shanahan, Yes, Shanahan reports to Pelley but I'm pretty sure that ends at Pelley simply deciding who has Shanahan's job. Having Pelley there would be like having teh owner there. And I can't recall ever seeing that.

I love how this is all Dubas’ fault for selling future picks

Except Tre traded their 3rd and 6th in this draft, as well as their 3rd and 5th next year, for rentals in Edmunson and Boosh.

Dubas wasn't the answer but it's gettingclear Brad isn't either

 

[Rare Jewel]

The Russian kid Shuravin is falling quite a bit.

But if Carolina has a pick coming up, he's gone.

Shuravin did fall a lot
but he went 97 to Florida

 

[Menzinger]

Interesting, Kevin He, now the second China born player drafted

Is Bergman still scouting for us? I have a lot of faith in him as well.

Yes but only part time. Apparently he's been mentoring closely the Leafs new main Swedish scout

 

[rojac]

Clearly, Bergman, Clark, or someone else in Leaf scouting sees something in the kid and the Leafs decided to gamble a pick on him. I think many of the draft fetishists on this board are just upset they can't brag to their little friends that they called a draft pick right.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

I really wanted Mews.

Be glad they stayed away. There's a reason he was thought of as a 1st round guy early last year and dropped all the way to the 3rd round.

His offensive ability doesn't make up for the massive holes in his game.

 

[LeafSteel]

Rapidly losing any interest in this team.

Is the plan really to run it back, ignoring making fast/cheap moves like Marino to overpay Calgary retreads like Zadorov and Tanev?

No vision, no balls, no changes.

Bullshit from the top down.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Shuravin did fall a lot
but he went 97 to Florida

So he did; well done, Fla.

 

[Superstar]

Dubas wasn't the answer but it's gettingclear Brad isn't either

A 1st to remove Marleau and a 1st for an injured Foligno...those two moves are much more egregious than anything Brad has done as a Leaf.

 

[fahad203]

What happened to our 2nd round pick?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Few chances coming up for guys to quickly google and then get pissed off about some new draft picks.

 

[notbias]

What happened to our 2nd round pick?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

What happened to our 2nd round pick?

Traded to Florida for their 2nd next year and a 7th this year.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Wouldn't mind taking a shot on Poirier.

 

[Leaf Lander]

Commercial whenever the leafs are up to pick like every other yr
