                                                      This team obviously would not finish last and be able to draft Matthews, so he is not included. Just wanted to show what kind of talent is possible to obtain through drafting alone. Hopefully in 8 years from now all us leaf fans can look back and be able to say the leafs built properly through the draft with excellent scouting and development.... and also have a cup to show for it.

                                                      I say this on every post like this; yes the leafs had bad player development but so do most teams.

                                                      Go to the draft boards and look at the team by team basis; look at some of the good teams. In most drafts they're lucky to get 1 or 2 NHL players, in some drafts they get none. It sometimes just takes a bit of luck

                                                      Looks like 30 teams didn't draft well, if some of these NHL regulars were picked in the second round and after.
                                                      Sprong? Has he shown he is an NHLer? Blackwood, has had a good career in the AHL so far.
