Who do you most want with the 38th OA pick?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

BPA always

At 38 you can't know who that is

 

[SprDaVE]

Firkus, Goyette or Trizokov. Could be a curve ball pick though.

 

[daethfromabove1979]

Goyette, Chesley, Luneau.

Also kind of hope it's a guy who will be playing in the rescheduled World Junior tournament next month..

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If It's used then Firkus.

However I'd trade it I think If you can use it to get better today then you should

I'm not overly concerned about this draft If you can package the pick to get a goalie or top 6 LW you should.

I want to see them add a piece

 

[All Mod Cons]

Trade down. I bet we can still draft our top 15.

 

[chamchibap]

Chesley, Sykora, Beck, Odelius, but open to others.
I'm starting to think we need a tiny bit more focus on NHL speed and hope that we can fix skating issues.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

really warming up to idea of Beck. Natural center who's a strong skater with great positional awareness in both the offensive and defensive zone. Could really develop him into a good matchup center who can chip in offensively (think Cirelli)

You can't have too much speed in today's game .. and da kid is feisty .. he likes to mix it up .. think Cirelli but better wheels

 

[dangomon]

Chesley, Beck, Luneau in that order for me. I have a feeling Chesley is gone in the first couple picks today, but fingers crossed.

 

[Northernguy10]

My guy all along , Tristan Luneau, is still there...

 

[TheGreenTBer]

At 38 you can't know who that is

I don't mean to be pedantic but these are prospects and not finished products, the majority of the time you don't "know" who the BPA is at any pick. You give it your best projection, and only draft based on need if you have two or more prospects in the same tier and one of them fits your prospect pool and/or roster better.

The #1 in the 2016 draft was an exception, as seemingly the entire country of Finland "knew" that Patrik Laine was easily the BPA.

 

[Nineteen67]

Lane Hutson would be so fitting

 

[Maplebeasts]

Trikozov, Firkus, Goyette, or Hutson and I' m happy. Casey would be fine as well.

 

[Northernguy10]

I'm assuming Hutson is the guy they say is in their top 15...Only guy with that kind of skill... Never know...He may have a late growth spurt...

 

[francis246]

“top 15 guy” just a horrendous day so far, with all the goalies then this pick.

 

[exporta]

Anothet Smurf nobody has heard of & preferably for the blueline.

Leafs just draft 5’10 euro’s

Leafs draft 6’1 Canadian centre, and we get the above…

 

[nuck]

Fraser Minten or bust.
