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

[KMNRB]

Another trade! Did someone here say this is so boring because there is no trade. Must feel very excited now!

 

[sxvnert]

Hawks want all the picks.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Wholeheartedly agree!

This year the guy they wanted was gone. But. at this level Beaudoin and or an Elick ?

 

[Thornbury]

O

Basha, Elick, Freij, O’Reilly my guesses

Or Badinka.

 

[Squiffy]

Didn’t they do that last year and most of you guys cried that we should have traded back?

Revisionist history.

If we hadn't traded away so many picks every damn year we wouldn't have to be moving down to get more. It's not happening in a vacuum.

 

[Morgs]

Another trade that was better than ours imo

 

[Logic]

I wonder if the leafs are looking at Lucas Pettersson, we were linked with him at the combine.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Has anyone ever traded back and then traded up with the same pick. Like say we did 31+ a 4th for 29 after trading down from 23 to 31. Would be odd

 

[Martin Skoula]

I dunno why we are now saying it's an early 3rd. Its a 2nd round pick they got. It's a move made every draft.

It's not that deep or complicated. Making it a dramatic thing is really something else.

We’ve gotten burned on this just about every time we’ve done it. It would be one thing if all our guys were gone at the pick and we only had 5’9 playmaking wingers to pick from, but the most physical D in the draft that looks like a safe bet for at least a #4 was there at our pick, same with a 6’3 middle 6 shutdown center with a power game.

If there’s a roster trade for the 58 pick and we still get one of Wes’s top guys at 31 it’s whatever but if we just take our 3-4th favorite guy in the range at 31 and then a longterm project at 58 then it’s a waste.

It’s moved from utterly unwatchable to paint drying. So it’s an improvement

Leafs always trying to reinvent the wheel
It's no wonder this franchise has gone 60+ years without a cup

 

[Racer88]

I would trade 31 for 45 and 70 to get more picks personally

Then I would trade 45 for 178 and 212 and 241

 

[TheFloater]

I'm gonna guess we go for O'Reilly if he's still there.

 

[al secord]

Kyle Davidson looks like a video coach

 

[supermann_98]

Elick
Emery
O'Neill

Please Tre don't take a take a shrimp like Stiga or Basha

 

[tmlms13]

Canes trade down 7 spots and get 50
We trade down 8 and get 58

i guess that's close but Canes did better

 

[capfit9]

I gotta give it to all the insiders, they grift the public every year with their BS about how busy the draft will be with trades.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Damn. Greentree to LA. Emery, please

 

[BM14]

So many drama queens in here. Relax.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

I wonder if the leafs are looking at Lucas Pettersson, we were linked with him at the combine.

They seem to really like him, he’s a jack of all trades type and has a great motor but I don’t see high end upside.

Depending on who you ask... maybe the Hawks offered the Leafs this package and the Leafs thought that at 31 their guy would be there but 3 picks later, maybe not.

You can assign value to picks each draft, but the pick changes in value based on what team you offer it to.

 

[therealkoho]

The

Hawks want all the picks.

NHL wants to do what's best for that big money market and Bedard as quickly as possible

 

[TMLAM34]

Really hoping for Emery.

 

[darrylsittler27]

What exactly was the trade? If Leafs wanted Elick and get him, great move. I guarantee the guy they wanted got snagged.

LOLOL so the two teams who have won the cup and just traded back, what’s your take on them?!
