LD Sean Day - Mississauga Steelheads, OHL (2016 Draft)

[Juxtaposer]

I saw him in the U17 a couple of years ago, when he was supposed to be great so I singled him out as guys to watch. I was thoroughly unimpressed. That said, he has the raw skills to make it in the NHL, so he's obviously worth taking a flyer on in the mid-2nd.

Hope that Toronto gets the 1st OVR and thus, we get the 31st pick and take Day. Well, him or Kuznetzov.

you're a Pens fan right?

If you make the playoffs you get your 2nd back in that deal not Toronto's, Toronto keeps it's 2nd this year regardless.

I'm hoping we can pick Day in the 3rd round, if he's gone before then good luck to him, I don't really want to use a 2nd rounder on him. Not ours anyway, hoping to draft Carter Hart with that pick.

 

[Tripod]

I would take him with Chicago's 2nd rounder that we own from the Timonen deal.

Provorov Sanheim
Morin Ghost
Day Myers
Hagg Friedman

 

[Passchendaele]

I wouldn't pick him in the first four rounds. Red flags all over.

I bet he still goes in the 2nd round, though.

If teams aren't taking a chance on his ridiculous potential in the 3rd round idk what to say about the state of the NHL

 

[cyris]

Leafs have enough extra picks over the next few years I wouldnt mind if they took a chance on him. They could afford to have him bust and not miss the pick too much with his upside if he ever figures it all out.
But not until after our own 2nd rounder. So either early third round or with another teams second we acquire in a trade.

 

[Thebesthockey]

he goes in the first round for sure
anyways anything after 5-6 is pretty much a measured crap shoot

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

What happened? Wasn't he supposed to get exceptional status? Now a 2nd rounder?

Already did.

Just read through this thread and you'll know why. I think this exact question has been asked at least twice in the previous 5 pages.

His skating, size and ability to rush the puck make him an intersting option in the 2nd/3rd rounds. He won't slip past there.

I agree with this. Too much reward vs risk.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

I want to say his floor in a solid organization is at least an NHL player. There's no way some coach can't figure out how to plug that skillset into his system somehow. That's better than you can say for many 2nd round picks.

Just boxscore checking, in a game where the Steelheads get blown out 10-2, Day finishes the night as a even +/-.

I watched half of the game.
He seemed very disinterested the first half of the game but had a nice rush in the third where he blew by 3 Attack players for a partial breakway. Positioning was ok, had some jam going into the corners too.

Good to see his parents are still meddling in his career. Look at the first comment.

If its really her I'd advise staying away from social media considering the trolls out there and what her eldest did.

 

[BM14]

All of those comments are gone now, maybe it really was her.

They were defending him getting EC, essentially saying that when he got it he qualified under HC's guidelines. She was also defending the comparison to Paul Coffey in the article.

Is in jail for killing someone while drunk driving, it was written up by sportsnet earlier this year.

Yikes.

There was a comment along the lines of "The Leafs should stay away from Sean Day in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft." to which his mother replied "Good, me too!!!"

Yeah, I thought it was Toronto's pick.
