<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div><strong><em>6TH OVERALL</em></strong>

14th overall in a weaker draft class year is a far cry from a top ten pick. This is also the deepest and best draft class since 2015 and 2003. The two best drafts in NHL history.

They're simply not the same.</div></div>

I wasn’t trying to argue with you. I’m aware of the difference between 6th overall and 14th. I was merely making light of the fact Chuck gave up a 1st and a 2nd for one year Rasmus Ristolainen (he’s not good).
Also, where are you reading that this draft class is going to be one the best? Most stuff I’ve seen has it rated as below average. It’s next year with Bedard and Michkov that everyone is gushing about. I’m just curious. Always looking for more sources of info.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>except that his defensive numbers are still trash and hes not even scoring close to what he used to. He's just not good at all. And the leafs dont need 3rd pairing defenders, like at all, especially at that hilarious cost</div></div>

Everyone on Philly has trash defensive numbers, but his are an improvement over his Buffalo numbers. His offense has dipped because he no longer gets as much PP time.
Maybe Risto isn’t the answer in Toronto, but there are very few defensive rentals out there, and not many better than Ristolainen. I can’t see Dubas being afraid to trade a very late 1st while dumping future cap at the same time. I think he’d be much more afraid of standing pat and losing in the 1st round again.
