Honorable mention: Rickard Rakell or John Gibson for Tyler Biggs (2011).

Which is why, in addition to being an Anaheim fan, I also root for the Maple Leafs -- I think we owe you one.

I feel like I prefer were the team is now to this, though if this could win a cup? maybe?

though the D is arguably better

I think it's definitely deeper

That was a weird Burkie trade, as the Leafs had 2 1st Rd picks and probably could have got Biggs with their original higher pick (ironic is Biggs was select one spot before the Pens pick, than he gets traded to the Pens, now we know which team scared Burkie into making the trade). I could have added Danault to the team, as now looking at that 2011 Draft, he was selected after Stu Percy.

One odd thing I discovered was how many times the Oilers always seemed to pick before or after the Leafs.

The Isles owe the Leafs for more than one, prying your "franchise" player J.T. (which seemed to take the playoff curse off your teams back and added the curse to the Leafs) and you got Lou Lam, who I'd still say is better than Dubas (just keep Lou away from the Draft pick discussions).

Yep, straight shot from Broberg at 8th overall to Brooks at 92nd 3 years earlier 😂 I assume you meant Filip Berglund who was 91st in 2016.

Forward core beside the top line is a mess but that dcore and goaltending are fine

What mistake, I don't know what you're talking about.

I could probably look further into the Draft history dating 15 years ago and find other quality missed opportunities at forward.

Editing works magic 😉
