[Metroid]

So the announcer d-bags again avoid talking about the leafs picks? Would have been nice to know little something bout these picks

Apparently sportsent doesn't want to talk about Leafs picks

 

[rojac]

Wouldn't be a Leafs GDT without people whining about the silliest things.

 

[notbias]

Is it pretty much unanimously agreed that SJ won the draft?

Just saw their first 3 picks and that is an awesome haul.

They know as much as we do about them.

 

[sxvnert]

Assuming they don't have much tape/notes on them, it's in their best interest to talk about them.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That is an all time name right there. Take the pick for that.

 

[stickty111]

Of course Vegas gets Holtz

I don't think they know who they are. Most of the focus is on NA players they have video of

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Have not heard of either of the Russians we just drafted.

Unranked by every scouting service on EP, but HPR/Malloy (no clue who that is) has him at #52.... what?

Did they?

Well done.

 

[Burnie97]

If some of these late picks make the NHL I'm going to need nicknames for them.

Definitely can't pronounce a couple of them.

It's produced by the NHL Network not Sportsnet just like every day 2 since back in the TSN days.

Big dude, okay numbers, sounds like a EA NHL regen name.




Also, there goes Romani, teams must hate the skating.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

These picks giving a lot of Vladislav Kara and Semyon Kizimov vibes.

 

[keonsbitterness]

They know as much as we do about them.

Probably true.

 

[DopeyFish]

it feels like the leafs are fishing for grand slam picks... huge boom bust

 

[notbias]

87GP 17G 17A 34P
110GP 19G 15A 34P

One of these players is Holtz, and one of these players is Robertson.

They are about the same age.

Not sure Vegas got a star.

Is it accidental, that they've skipped over all the Leafs' picks I've seen?

Or, perhaps it is about catering to the fans of teams that are less knowledgeable than Leafs' fans?

No reason to market to die-hards.

This is normal for them even on our picks they have info about.

I honestly think we are just picking players that are harder to scout/they don't have tape... I think it is a lack of information, no other reason.
