GDT: Draft thread Day 2 - 11AM

[Phion Keneuf]

Could’ve dumped Murray at least and still got this guy.

 

[Racer88]

Because despite being a complete player I don't see him as having anymore then a 3rd line upside. I'll be more then happy to be wrong but there was a few other players I would have preferred.

By the time you get to the 28th pick it’s a crap shoot anyway. I think it’s worth the risk.
Dubas gutted our draft picks for this year so might as well take a big swing

 

[All Mod Cons]

Damn, Matt Murray is still a Leaf. That sucks.

You can't trade that contract/player.

 

[PromisedLand]

You seem more unhinged by the day haha

this is not a pitsburgh penguins board. you are welcome

 

[thewave]

This is a dubas sabotage. wes clark on purpose did this to screw the leafs

What a freakin' JOKE!

Should have traded down for a couple picks and gambled with those give dubas has basically emptied the cupboards.

Treliving not impressed at all. Make some decisions ffs

Fire the scouting staff. If I remember correctly it's more efficient to simply take the public scouting lists and put them together to make a master list. You pick based off those consolidated rankings and you usually do really well.

I think someone here compiled it and it was more hits than misses, way better than our staff.

He has an outside shot as a 2nd liner but with his size you’d like to see more productivity. It should be noted that this was his rookie year in the OHL and he progressed throughout the season. He was one of the better players in the OHL playoffs. That being said I wouldn’t have taken him over Heidt.

Where has regular season production gotten the Leafs recently?

Don't discount a guy who brings the heat when the goIng gets tough. You need a variety of different skill-sets to succeed and Cowan sounds like a guy who could complement a skill-heavy roster very well.

Marner literally won playoff MVP for the Knights in 2016, how's that working out?

The kids production f***ing sucks and he was a massive reach, that's just our organization now.

Oh, Minten f***ing sucks too btw.

 

[Sypher04]

I trust our scouts

How dare you post a reasonable reaction.

Well here's hoping you are right and I'm missing somthing.

 

[supermann_98]

I'd honestly rather have Sandin back for this pick but that's just me

Who to?

 

[Kiwi]

Interesting, thanks for that
I like how competitive he seems to be

 

[notbias]

Haircut nahh lol

His interview was decent actually seemed humble and little bit of fire deep down. He looks real young what’s his birthday lol must just be 18

5 youngest drafted so far. May 20th, 2005.

 

[the Mighty Oak]

Wes Clark said always pick BPA in a recent interview. This was NOT the BPA.

I'm really pissed.

lol, like you know any of these players in the draft

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Who the f*** is this

Less than a PPG

0-3

 

[The Masters]

Lol gotta love hurricans going up with 3 people lol

 

[Woodman19]

What he was projected to go by non NHL scouts and where he was picked matters far less than what he does going forward from today. And realistically it's pick #28, you aren't drafting a ready made superstar from day 1 here. You would have to gut the roster and suffer for 5 more years of ineptitude as many of you seem eager to do.

 

[Racer88]

Nobody w

Could’ve dumped Murray at least and still got this guy.

nobody wants Murray

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Who to?

Idk I’m not GM. Someone would take him.

 

[All Mod Cons]

He is an excellent pick. Trust.

 

[the Mighty Oak]

 

[weems]

One thing that stands out looking at his stats is he was very good in the playoffs

20 games played
9 goals
12 assists

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Well I'll wait and see how he turns out. Hoping for the best.

 

[Racer88]

It’s go

Well here's hoping you are right and I'm missing somthing.

It’s going to be interesting that’s for sure.
I will keep everyone updated as to how he is doing next year
