Thoughts on drafting Braden Schneider with 15th OAL pick???


Ew. Much prefer the forwards who will be available at the spot by a large margin. Never draft for need.
BS will likely be a fine dman who would fit well with the leafs, but the guys we'd be passing on make that a bad pick. I think BS goes far too early in this draft no matter what, so let that be another GM's problem.

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

Askarov would be lovely pick as well. Braden Schneider too. Bit of a reach there but great defensive player.

Ok expert on Mr Schneider is here. Draft him and I'm dead serious. This kid is legitimate. Big, strong, isn't afraid to hit, plays a very good defensive game, plays a tonne of minutes, and could push for a spot this year. Needs to work on his offense but I don't care for that. Even if he ends up just being a defensive defense man that's perfect for rielly

If not Barron. Kid was looking like a top 10 than the blood clots happened. He has the potential to bounce back and become an pulock or Ellis type

Askarov


He's a project and honestly I say draft a goalie in round 2 or 4. Dylan Grand is being called a steal and honestly I would take a chance on him

Leafs need to draft a goalie this year regardless.

no his skating is fine the issue is will the offense be there at an NHL level. Rn scouts worry he mainly gonna be known for his defense and not for his 2-way game. His defensive skating is great and man can he check. Honestly Trouba is what I feel he could potentially become but be better defensively.

In general Schneider is basically everything the leafs would want in a defensive prospect. He checks, blocks shots, breaks up 2 on 1s, isnt afraid to drop the gloves, and has the size and weight to potentially be NHL ready. Dont know if Dubas keeps the pick but we shall see.

Pronman did a 7 round mock draft for some reason.

He picked Amirov for Toronto's first rounder, in the event Seth Jarvis isn't available.

Now that the draft is over and we have had time to disgust it.

How do you think Dubas did?
What player drafted jumps out at you?

One thing that concerns me is, we drafted a couple of small guys.
2 of them are 5'9 and another 5'8.

Size should matter some right?

Dubas had a top-3 Draft along Canes and Kings.
Niemelä drafted in 3rd round is a robbery. One of the smartest two-way Dmen this year.

Height average for Leafs picks was 5'11. Some will grow an inch or two, some wont, but its not concerning at all. But they all are going to get heavier and play more heavy and that is whats important. Also due to not having a combine, some players heights are from a year ago. Topi Niemelä on draft day was listed at 5'10, but he currently is 6'0 tall.

Dubas made the leafs prospect pool go from nothing to now being in the top 10.

The kids will grow and develop mass and some could be potential steals. Overall the future is set for them along with the win now present
