Mind Boggling . Leafs must have cut the budget and got rid of their OHL and WHL scouts .No players from the OHL or DUB.
Interesting.
Mind Boggling . Leafs must have cut the budget and got rid of their OHL and WHL scouts .
The rope just got that much shorter for both Dubas and Shanahan .
Despite the teams embarrassing lack of success the team continued to draft the exact same kind of players as they always have since Dubas has been involved .
Our first 6 picks were all ranked in the first 3 rounds, and last years draft was fantastic with Robertson/Kokkonen/Abramov.Mind Boggling . Leafs must have cut the budget and got rid of their OHL and WHL scouts .

How do I feel?
883 different players in the NHL last season.
374 of them were Canadian.
100 of them were Swedish.
43 of them were Russian.
41 of them were Finnish.
11 draft picks, 1 Canadian, 0 Swedes.
Well-respected veteran Swedish scout with no picks from Sweden.
oh,,,sooooooNot really. It's about years of control.
With the pandemic and delay to start the OHL and WHL seasons they might only have 1 year to evaluate a player with only 18 months of control.
You get many years of control with Euro's or college players. The QMJHL is currently playing so they can evaluate Villaneuve.
Or he likes McdonaldsHe's over 200lbs, clearly that means he's a good player.
Maybe that is why they passed on some other players in the first rd.oh,,,soooooo
it's not always about BPA,,,,interestinggggggg

The 2021 draft is going to be a bizzare.
Limited viewing .
No tournaments.
If the CHL plays at all.
I know. Those Sandins and Roberstons should get him fired asap.Mind Boggling . Leafs must have cut the budget and got rid of their OHL and WHL scouts .

Drafting good players is a good thing. I'd much rather have those than a bunch of 6'5" guys with no shot at making the league.[/QUOTE

True . The overwhelming success that the team has experienced since Dubas came on board in 2015 means he should never diverge from his chosen strategy .
The teams that are successful in this league are a combination of high skill , high compete and grit .
Would be nice if the Leafs got their head out of their ass and recognized this and drafted a diversified group of players that reflect this .
Right now. They have a team with 18 positives right now lol might be over.QMJHL is playing. No american teams so no border crossing.
