Why do we have 7 picks in the last two rounds?

Because there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Cause the best talent is found in the 6 and 7 rounds (Conner Brown, Andreas Johansson)

Lol it's where we draft all these wingers to tag to future cap dumps lol Sens are awesome

So ACGM's can add all those 6th and 7th Round picks to trade as "sweetener" to get the better player.

Pavelski, Zetterberg, Buff... you never know what you might find

Because Dubas likes drafting Euro/Russian players and it's in those Rounds you can find a hidden diamond in the rough (or waste a pick by trying, most often the case).

I acquire more sevenths and use them to get clifford 50% retained https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1291252

Well I mean considering Dubas and the Leafs are extremely well-versed in analytics, it's a known fact that the drop off between a 3rd pick and 7th round pick is almost non-existent. It's a market inefficiency to swing for the fences and draft small players with real talent/skill and develop them into complementary players for our star players (i.e. JT, Auston, Mitch and Willy) and Johnsson and Moore are perfect examples of this.

This article is pretty old in terms of new information and there's tons of models out there

Small and fast doesn't beat big and mean come playoff time, the Leafs already have 4 strikes against the tougher team (3 losses to the Bruins; 2013, 2018, 2019 and 1 to Caps 2017).

This legit made me lol

Lol okay Don Cherry.
