This is not a deep draft. Go get picks rather than draft someone who you can get later. 2020 be the formula for what they should do

TOR traded the 44 OA pick (high 2nd) and got the 59 and 64 (low 2nd and high 3rd)

Our pick will probs be 25-32 if we trade down expect a mid round 2nd and high 3rd


That's what I'm saying: trade down and make the pool better

But you overvalued the pick is what I am trying to get at

If we trade down were not getting 2 2nds and a 3rd for a late 1st that will be 25-32

At most were gonna get a mid 2nd and high 3rd. Unless a team is desperate and offers 2 mid 2nd round picks (doubful) thats the return to expect


And its fine as u then take those picks and keep trading down you will amass for this and next draft

Unless Toronto makes cup finals, their pick isn't going o be in the 25-32 range as they are 10th in the league rn...

And that's how you get fleeced, Dubas got a mid 2nd and early 3rd for an early second in 2020

In 2020 Dubas traded the 44 OA pick (high 2nd) and got the 59 and 64 (low 2nd and high 3rd)

Rn TOR 1st is 23 OA with projections to drop to 25OA by playoffs

For a similar range

CAR in 2021 traded the 27 OA pick and got 40 and 51 OA picks. That was a stacked draft though and NSH was desperate for Zachary L'Heureux

This draft is not as stacked and sure pick is 2-4 spots higher but that would mean one of the picks would be slightly higher not an extra 3rd + 5th lul.


So if they trade down TOR will get 2 2nds for it or a 2nd and 3rd, not a 2nd + 2nd + 3rd + 5th....as that be overvaluing the pick right there

So Marner has a high ankle sprain, which by my count is the third one this season (same injury that kept Woll and Liljegren out)

Huge loss for us

I feel a little X factor for TOR in the playoffs gonna be Holmberg

He has just impressed this year whether in top 6 or 4th line

If he can do what Howden did last playoffs for VGK perfect

Man when the Leafs PP goes cold

It really goes cold

Like the fact PHI whose PP is dead last in the NHL has looked better on it is concerning

Good win but at the same time also bit sloppy here and there

Jarnkrok being injured sucks but gives Robertson an opportunity to return

Need to sort out this PP and PK stuff as its getting concerning.

Its funny how I see people going TOR needs a LD without realizing LD is pretty much set for next season

Rielly
McCabe
Benoit (once extended)
Rafai (#7)

Its like these people want Brad to pull another Klingberg and go get Zadorov on 5m x 5 years lul

I think the lack of good RHD options on FA makes Leaf fans not want Brad to pull a Klingberg and accidentally sign Pesce 8 by 7 lul

Not full on targets but some examples of how nice RD market is for 2024-2025: Demelo, Roy, Pesce, Montour, Walker, Tanev, etc.

There are a lot of good RD this FA

Pesce really dont fit the Brad mold so much. Klingberg I believe was a one off as he was really outside the norm for a Brad Dman target.

This FA has a lot of good RD options and I got a feeling one or two are in his sights question is which ones.

My guess = Tanev and Roy


Its going for a LD that would create another Klingberg incident

As Klingberg came in when we had Liligren and Timmins already. Lets say Leafs were to go get Skeji and spend 6m its basically wasting cap for a LD when they got McCabe and Benoit and have a need for RD
