Mitch Marner for Martin Necas and Alexander Nikishin

That's a deal i would love. You can look to trade Necas for picks and prospects.

If the Demidov kid falls to the habs there are some idiot GM's ahead of them.

Don't know why I got wrapped up in watching this kids highlights but omg he's gonna rip up the league. He's a blend of talented Russian players from the past. Reminds me most of Alexei Zhamnov but can also pull out some Datsyuk/Mogilny/Fedorov/Kovalev moves ... and going back even further Larionov/Makarov type of game.

Trevliving built teams prefers big moblie dman
Head scout Wes Clark has drafted every small player he can find. Let's hope that changes

We have a 1st rnd pick
No second rnd pick
3rd rnd pick from NYI
4th rnd pick
5th rnd pick
5th rnd pick from chic
5th rnd pick from Vancouver
6th r d pick
7th rnd pick
7th rnd pick from Ottawa
They may trade Lily for a 2nd.

Hage or Connelly for me. In that order.

Though happy to see who Leafs draft regardless. Wes Clark has earned the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah I'll talk myself into any pick Wes makes at this point tbh

Expecting Beaudoin or Solberg if he's there. Would be down for Hage, or Surin/Boisvert if they're available.

I've watched stolberg clips more than I should admit. I'm all about any young player who can bodycheck hard and clean like that
Yep, what's good now is he's also he showed at the mens worlds that there's much more a 2-way Dman there as well which wasn't as clear around WJC time.

Surin is another for me. Big, skilled, aggressive forward who's a rather late August birthday.

I expect whoever can help within 2 years
Can’t wait to see half the board complain about us not drafting a player they know nothing about, and get upset we picked another player they also know nothing about instead.
I can't wait till we have next Wendell Clark, gets waived and wins a cup.. elsewhere. It's a stud C. Tavares has no replacement. Ready in 2 years.

I feel like leafs are going to get jirecek or greentree
I feel like I don't have enough beer to read this.

Wes deserves our belief. Out of this entire org he has been the most consistent in making us better

I want a guy who can skate. Everytime that would be my top skill.

If they have at least 3 other skills that are top tier I could be swayed.

Doesn't mean you have to draft a small guy to be a good skater either.
