I really want the Leafs to draft Emil Andrae.

And are any decent goalies to consider???

This has both mine and @SammyT_51 thoughts, although my list is not all of whom I'd like the leafs to draft, rather interesting ones. There are others I'm interested in not listed here.

On that note, Sammy please I'm dying here, I need your thoughts on EP!!!

NA goalies like Drew Commesso or Dylan Garand might be options depending on the round.

as for Andrae.. I wouldnt. Too risky of a pick. Id rather go for Villeneuve or Grans.

On NA goalies, do you have any thoughts on Brochu? He has been very good and should be available late.

Isn't Garand only 2 inches taller? Is it that much of a difference?

Yeah, 2 inches between the two but it is a big difference. Toronto wont draft a goalie below 6'0 tall.

I have settled on Logan Morrison to be drafted with our 2nd round pick and if we can get a 2nd and 3rd for Kerfoot... Luke Evangelista and Emil Andrae with those.

Thoughts? @random2152 @SammyT_51

Logan Morrison would be there in 4th round. Go for faller, always.

No idea, but the system is bereft of even AHL level goalies.

Woll is AHL level, no one else.

Scott could be something but to early to tell.
Did you see Leafs lost the rights to unsigned goalie?

Yes. Their depth is Woll/Scott as signed guys. Kaskisuo and gahagen are UFAs

I think the unsigned goalie was first name Vladimir.

If you were drafting based on need, what would you do this draft?

If they're keeping it, they're definitely picking a defender.

There's a very plausible chance Toronto deals down to drafts Ryan O'Rourke later. He's a Sou guy.

Drafting at #15 is hard. Many teams have gambled wrong at that rank, but you can also find a star.

I'm not convinced about Schneider yet, in terms of whether skating is enough to compete in the NHL. If so, he would fill a positional need for sure, and I like the style he would bring. The Leafs will be much better informed than I am.

The ordering never matches predictions anyway, and picks 4 to 31 will probably be very different than what people think.

If Jake Sanderson is somehow available at #15, it seems he would be an excellent pick, even if handedness is "wrong" for us. Though I would think that both him and Drysdale go out very early, similar to previous drafts.
