Agreed. I'm excited about Maclin. Good kid.
Me too. Expensive get, but a major need.

I don't know why Leafs fans are so eager to watch Toronto ruin McDavid anyway.

Many bubble screens and short slants in his future, unfortunately.
He wouldn't be "ruined" in Toronto. But if by some alignment of the planets he does end up here, he's more likely to blow his ACL on his first shift.

Great, now the Leafs will be extra motivated tomorrow.

Toronto would continue to lose even with him on board and the media would be up his ass with blame every step of the way.
Our last first overall was wendel clark in the middle of the worst ownership in NHL history
Some would say things went pretty well with him
Though he was a defenseman when we drafted him... we played him at forward... probably ballards idea that backfired

Different time, mostly different fans/media.

Toronto at least has a structure in place, if a rather damn flimsy one. Edmonton is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, ownership included.

Which is kind of my point. If he stays in Toronto he's fucked.
Besides, Edmonton has yet to open the floodgates. Who knows what happens with any of those kids if they're ever released from hell.

It's an upgrade! That's all that matters right now
And this game is looking bleak. Clearly signs are showing that Holtby is exhausted from so many starts.
Well... leafs did come close to ruining kadri and tlusty
Leafs also prioritize some really shitty players over talented ones for some stupid reason
At least with mcdavid, he'd never see the minors... i'd be more worried about any draft pick from 5-10 tho

I get what you mean, but there isn't really much evidence that players' development has been compromised in Toronto. The organization has historically just been really bad at identifying talent in the first place.
Yes... yes they do. Or at least did... I believe in Mark Hunter!

Fair enough but when I said Toronto I wasn't just talking about the Leafs organization.

Oh are we now stanning for each center? I call dibs on Pageau. Kernel and GSG Flash can fight it out for Legwand.

Yeah I'm watching Cricket World Cup highlights now :lol
The Leafs' problem is a horrible core, but I don't see how we have ruined draft picks recently, as others have said.
Even if we do have a history of ruining draft picks, what's the alternative to "being eager to watch Toronto ruin McDavid". Should we instead hope for Strome? Marner? Hanifin? We should secretly cheer for our team to ruin a less significant prospect instead, for the good of the league? Bugger the rest of the league.
I don't think we are going to get McDavid but the Leafs have a new management group in place with Mark Hunter, Kyle Dubas, and Brendan Shanahan. They haven't proven anything yet but they don't have a history of ruining prospects - they're a fresh group and should be given a chance.
