Enjoy him now before you trade him to Carolina.
Oh man :lol
For what I expected to be a heavy defense draft for Buffalo from the first pick onward, this has turned out completely unexpected.

Can't say I understand or agree with our picks beyond Matthews...I guess we'll only find out how these kids turn out in a few years.

Local lad Tyler Soy is still on the board
Former Saginaw GM Jim Paliafito works with the leafs, could be a thing or two they know about him that we don't. IDK

They have too many picks, not enough contracts?

Just saw Kuli was traded. Disappointed to see him go, only dude left pre-Tallon. Not familiar with Pysk but we still need more D. Now have the space to go after Demers or another Dman
Like anyone can accurately project how any pick from round 2 onwards will pan out. You could probably draw names from a hat and have the same rate of success.

I used to know Cory Stillman's grandmother. She'd give me autographed cards, which was awesome and really nice.
She had a trailer in our park.

RIP
Already seeing a ton of them now lol
All we know right now is that they valued big, fast guys who we hope can develop. Not as if our system is starved of smaller, skilled guys right now. I don't get the worry.

or perhaps the Leafs seem to have a good chunk of potential booms coming so they are now getting players that will take a little longer to develop and if any of them boom then they'll be super super happy
fuck i don't know
Ok. In 3-5 years we'll see a bunch of 2nd round and beyond guys start making huge impacts on their NHL teams. (some may actually be Leafs!!)
:'-(

I'm sorry to hear that. My sis went through all of that lovely stuff in her mid 20s.
Why wouldn't they force them to trade the picks for players that can go into the lineup right now if they were meddling?

Ownership probably knows absolutely nothing about any of these players being drafted.
I do agree that the drafting strategy is quite different, but that might be because it seems to be a weaker draft. A guy like Timashov probably could have been a first rounder this year.
Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that
Sorry to hear man, hope all goes well.
Sorry to hear that.
Thanks everyone.
I'm just in shock right now
Marner was our best pick last year and we're still waiting to see what kind of NHL player he'll be. Who knows about all those other guys the Leafs took that were universally praised
You have proof of this?
