Just ugh. I see all those traded 1st round picks Dubas spent on the confirmation bias of his own ego.

painful.
Owing to alot of Florida playoff success, Kyle has a more Panther approach now.
I’m still not over the Tyler Biggs pick. Freddy Gauthier was a let down too and I’m still processing

Can’t blow first round picks if you pick late or not at all! Big brain moves.

Leafs could have drafted Travis Konecny in the first round in 2015, but Dubas being the smartest guy in the room decided it was better to trade down not once but twice because he wanted to draft his homie Travis Dermott

Even if they drafted some decent D, they wouldn’t have developed them so it doesn’t matter

It would of helped if the players we acquired for these picks had stuck around :
2019th 1st + players traded for Muzzin (he was worth it), Campbell (lol)
2021 1st for Foligno (lol)
2022 1st traded for ROR (lol cya)
Actually, maybe it wouldn’t have helped. Woof.
But I’m glad someone came to their senses and kept the pick last year, even if Cowan amounts to nothing - we can’t bleed high end assets like this year over year.
RIP Rodin Amirov

Some decent drafting with limited picks.
The Amirov one sucks for multiple reasons, but I think he would have been a borderline star, he was really good.
I like our scouting department and am glad they have been kept.
Source on this? I believe that he wanted to trade down, but I don't think there is anything linking him to Dermott.
A source that I made up said he was going to take Aho but was overruled actually.
And then with the next pick was going to take Cirelli, but was also overruled.
It'd be weird to think Dubas had control over the draft when next year the rumours are he wanted Debrincat and we took Kroshkov instead.

If Amirov (GOD rest his soul) was still living it looks a lotttt better. Him and Cowan coming up to help out our superstars would’ve been incredible. He was a star in the making. Unreal talent. Imagine Amirov developing to replace Tavares on the 2nd line, you let Cowan develop in the top 9. You have cap space to fill out the roster. It looks much different

Awful awful managing. The most pathetic part is that they were burning the candle at three ends. Overpaying a top heavy roster which made draft picks more important. Trading draft picks in boneheaded attempts to win. And then the worst asset management I've seen in my life whether it was overpaying in trades or letting players walk for nothing. Pure arrogance and ego.
Is there a reason Rielly is left off the 2012 draft list?
Craziest part is that the first rounds of the 2019 and 2020 drafts really sucked. Those were probably the best drafts to trade a first, it was Covid and the Second rounds have been much better than the later half’s of the first. I’d take Nick Robertson over Bjornfort. All the guys from 22 to our pick in Robertson are pretty interchangeable in 2020.
2021 is a little tougher could have had a top d prospect and Knies.

This is the worse one for me. Came in more expensive then Hall and was battling injury that year.... Why spend the picks on that?

I mean considering the lack of picks they have done pretty well. Especially 2nd round and later
We traded our 2025 first for ROR. We traded our 2022 first attached with Mrazek to move down.. still a stupid af trade IMO
