Miro Heiskanen is a defensemen eh? Hope to God the Stars don't fuck up his development if they draft him.
i may be changing my mind
i may want the leafs to draft brannstrom with their first rounder
He is statistically in the realm of karlsson pre draft in SuperElit, SHL and internationally.
Watched some footage and he's super fucking skilled
Small.... but skilled.

Think I remember that the Habs were 1 away from Matthews last year too, and I think the Leafs were 1 away from McDavid the previous year.

God could you imagine if Habs got him? Just tank one year and you get first overall? That would been some luck
They probably would have ruined him like they have with their other prospects.

he would probably only play on the wing
he would've been demoted to the 4th line for a month after blowing that coverage in OT during the season opener. despite the 4 goals.
Apologies to Nucks and Avs fans on behalf of the 92-93 Ottawa Senators, our tanking for Daigle got you guys into this mess 
Leafs were equally bad last year with their tanking, they weren't even being subtle about it.

No, nothing comes close to what the Sabers and Coyotes got up to that year.
Grant McCagg says he's the best defensive prospect he's seen in like 10 years or something ridiculous like that, although I haven't followed this draft at all.
Chayka's reaction is good
I like it. Tosses in like 4 different faces.
I'm just hoping Liljegren falls to us
Or Brannstrom is still around
Scared of Cal Foote/Nicolas Hague

You have enough, stop
No such thing!
Also, chin up Canuck's fans, there's plenty of talent to be had outside of the top 3, you can definitely find players:
Make a Wish player for a day doesn't count
At least he showed up for the playoffs

Excited to see a Minnesotan taken top 10 and three or four in the first round. It's been a while since this state has produced so much high end talent.
Also, tomorrow I become a house owner. Yay.

Chyeah. Natty ice and beer darts for everybody. No Blues fans allowed.
And thanks Samyy, Creeper, and Simon
Way to go, FUBAR. Got tenants? No? Good
This assumes other teams fuck up and pick the wrong player, so talent falls in your lap!
Which is an entirely plausible scenario in a draft where I don't think there's much consensus outside of the top 2.
We laughed about Cody Glass but from what I've read he has legit 1C potential.
That's called the San Antonio Spurs getting Tim Duncan, and creating a dynasty.

Hi, I'm Colorado nice to meet you!
But with Nylander it wasn't a matter of 'well, Nylander is left but maybe he'll be ok!'. The majority of scouts had him ahead of Virtanen, many had him ahead of Fleury, and several had him top 3-5.
And we're taking Mittelstadt, not Glass. 🤷
I guess the Stars could take Heiskanen, Avs pass on Vilardi for some strange reason, and he falls to us. If be ok with that.
Hoooly fuck I'm reading now that Benning is still high on Liljegren and could take him 5th. Please no, Benning. 😑
Let me airbnb, bro
Quoth Button, June 24, predicting Canucks take him at #6:
"Jake Virtanen might have the most upside of any player in this draft. Excellent skater, excellent shot... Potentially a grand slam player... With that kind of upside, I don't know how you can pass him by."
Along the lines of what other scouts felt.
So did you just remember that? Or did you look at this list which omitted Virtanen in error and doesn't go past #30? 🤔
Virtanen was a top 10 prospect. That was the consensus. The crime was that the owners intervened to get a hometown boy when he wasn't the BPA.
Well both Virtanen and Fleury were ahead of Nylander and Ehlers on Bobby Macs final list as well
This is the ridiculous assertion that the Leafs out and out just tanked. They had Bozak, JVR, Kadri, Komarov, Rielly, Gardiner all on the team who are still there. Jvr got hurt Midway through the season which helped the Leafs not score many goals, Kadri didn't score 30, Bozak wasn't​ so good. Not like the Leafs just iced minor league players.
And yeah they traded guys for picks like any rebuilding team. Reimer was gonna be a UFA were we supposed to keep him and get no return at all?
