Even being a Leafs fan, Stevie Wonder will always be a fav.

The guy really combined an insane level of talent with an insane level of compete and grit.



That is an insane duo.. good luck to the opposing defense

Never heard of anyone who disliked him.
 
The Ottawa 67's are proud to select, from Montreal, Quebec, double Art-Ross trophy winner, second one to score 50 goals in a season, Howie Morenz's son-in-law and the one whom slap shot owes it's fame, Bernard 'Boom-Boom' Geoffrion.

You beat me to it, buddy!

I made that trade with HabsFan18 hoping Kharlamov would fall to #58.

Good pick!

We win some, we lose some. Looking back, the trade likely wasn't necessary as Schmidt could have very well been there for me at 58, and you would have been guaranteed Kharlamov at 50. But I didn't want to take the chance as I didn't like the other fits with Lafleur as much. And I suppose there's a small chance someone could have traded up. I did it just to guarantee my guy. And you still got a top flight RW out of the deal and improved your position over your next two picks.

Always a gamble. That's the fun in trading. :)

Exactly, that was I thought when I agreed to the trade. I figure I would still be able to get a good winger with #58 while improving my position on two pick.

In the end, loosing Kharlamov by one pick kind of comfort me, as it prove that I wasn't completly in the left field when I tought Kharlamov might fall to #58.

Kharlamov's been a credible option ever since Lindsay came off-the-board. You have to go back to 2017 to find a draft where he went lower than here.

In other news, it's closing in on midnight in VanIslanderLand, so we should be prepared to settle in for a (fully understandable) wait.
