Additional Details:
Eichel would have fallen to 3 to AZ leaving strome to fall to 4 who the leafs select

TOR
  1. Strome, Dylan
WSH
  1. Schmaltz, Nick
Additional Details:
Strome was the far and away third best prospect from 2015 and with him available, the leafs pass on marner and take the player who would be the top prospect in any other draft year.
5.
TOR
NJD
  1. Marner, Mitchell
Additional Details:
Carolina was still looking for defenseman so they would still take hanifin. That leaves marner to fall to 6 to NJ where they pick him up instead of Zacha

  1. Laine, Patrik

    Now with the first pick in 2016, the leafs draft patrik laine as matthews is no longer available

    If you look at the mocks from 2015 and if you actually rewatch the draft. Everybody has strome pinned over marner. He was the clear cut #3 at the time. If the leafs picked third that year, they likely go strome. The fall off between 3 and 4 was pretty sizable. Marner doesn’t hold positional value either so no reason they would reach.
