Grabovski was pretty good for us
True.
Mikhail Stefanovich came to mind, and I couldn't help but think there was another Mikhail that we had bad luck with. Can't think of him.

Kind of makes sense that he was picked by Dubas, as I was thinking of him like SDAv2.
P.S. Likely not related to Vitali at all, definitely not a brother.
Does this pick have the Caser stamp of approval?
Where did you project him?

I had holowell as my least favourite draft pick from last draft and was happily proven wrong so I think instead of me saying I don’t like this pick I’ll say I hope I’m proven wrong againI'm not sure why but of all our prospects he's my dark horse pick to out do his draft position and be a player in the NHL...Of course I said that about Dzierkels also (haven't given up on him yet though)

It is fairly obvious that some of them will not wear a Leafs jersey. They will be used as trade baits to make deals to acquire good, established players (but may become a FA soon). There is always demand for skills in this league and its easier to use skills as trade bait then size.The more we stock up on the small skill long shot variety the more I'm skeptical of the strategy. When you look at what Boston did with Torey Krug and Brad Marchand, it makes a lot of sense. It worked out brilliantly. But they brought they into a system with a lot of big bodies and support. Not sure how a team with multiple sub 5'9" guys will perform.

Skillwise, Grundstrom was superior.Fairly obvious by now that a lot of those waterbugs carry very little value. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen Carl Grundstrom shipped out for Muzzin ahead of someone like Timashov or Brooks.
Grundstrom is 6'0 190 pounds. I highly doubt anyone coveted him for his imposing sizeFairly obvious by now that a lot of those waterbugs carry very little value. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen Carl Grundstrom shipped out for Muzzin ahead of someone like Timashov or Brooks.
I honestly dont understand why people here dont get that hockey isn't about the 6'3 230 lb forward anymore. I mean sure, that would be great if you could find that guy, but the fact is the percentages are higher taking skill over size. Kucherov and Crosby are under 6 feet. McDavid is just over 6 feet tall. 6 of the top 10 point producers are 6 feet tall or smaller. 2 are 6'1. The only ones from the top 10 with significant size are Draisaitl and Barkov.If we keep going after the smaller skilled players, there is a higher chance those will become NHLers then players with size.
Fairly obvious by now the smaller players carry more value then big players. Grundstorm is also more skilled then those two.Fairly obvious by now that a lot of those waterbugs carry very little value.

He is physical, but the point was about his size. It wasn't the reason he was traded before the other 2.Dude can bang though, and that's it's own skillset as well.
I bet he does well this season, I would rather LA took Bracco instead of himDude can bang though, and that's it's own skillset as well.

You know most players don't play 10 years with the same franchise anymore. So trades FAs and alot of other avenues to explore.The more we stock up on the small skill long shot variety the more I'm skeptical of the strategy.
