this. Most of these guys will not play for the leafs for couple of years atleast. They can be developed and traded to get a piece that helps our team, or they can replace any player that becomes to expensive and needs to be traded later on.Holy...people need to step away, go outside and enjoy the beautiful day, getting way too emotionally invested in 3rd round and lower picks.
I can't wait to look back in hindsight at this draft
Fans get pissed when they draft someone without a Youtube highlight reel. Can't be good is no one has made a Youtube highlight reel.
You really have no idea how they draft do you? Both of these guys have drafted like this in the OHL. They both draft skill and projectable players to fill the team which is exactly what they're doing right now.
That's the only guy i really wanted in the draft(besides matthews of course). Hope our 31st pick becomes a good oneMaybe Hunter will take Tyler Benson next so everyone shuts up
What's everyone so upset about?
Korshkov is about as big of a boom/bust pick possible SO MUCH SKILL and potential
Grundstrom is a ball of energy with skill to complement and was in a lot of 1st rounds
Woll is a perfect pick to wait out the top 3 goalies picked cause we all know drafting goalies is a crap shoot
Greenway is a boom or bust guy who is very toolsy, played top pairing for the USN team
Middleton isn't far off Stanley and just a year ago was well known as a better prospect, we got him how many rounds later?
Brooks led all WHL in scoring and all draft eligable guys in primary scoring
Bobyshev has offense at almost a PPG and is a wrecking ball .....
relax people
My prediction is this:
Majority complains about the draft because the Leafs had the gall to listen to their scouts over the 'experts' on HF Boards who know a pick is bad because they haven't heard of them.
Most of the picks have great years next year, and now with people watching, suddenly it's considered a very good - solid draft.
Next year everyone forgets we've essentially been through the same thing two years in a row now, and again complain about all the picks, question Hunters ability, etc...

What's a trade?
We haven't drafted much skill today.
Check the draft board.

Why is everyone so mad. We all knew he wasnt going to draft a bunch of 5'7 guys with puck skills
So mark hunter says last year that he always picks for skill. Then turns around and drafts more size than Burke ever did
