Thread: What thye Leafs should do next year regardless of this years playoff results
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laquille</b></div><div>Knies seem to be the most ready of them, but still doesn't mean he will make the lineup right out of the gate.

Minten is 18 yo, what's the rush? Let him developp, he is no Mcdavid or Matthews, next year he should be getting good minutes in the WHL.

Voit is simply not there yet. At his frame, he needs to developp further more, on a third line in the nhl, points don't matter, you play a role that clearly doesn't suit Voit playstyle.

You ever heard of Rory Kerins? also 2nd point leader last year in the ohl at 20yo. This year, spent the entire season in the ECHL. played 6 ahl points with 2 points. The jump is huge between OHL and NHL, and the Leafs are contending, not rebuilding. THerefore, they developp their players in the minors.</div></div>

Logic, my friend. Prospect hugging is the leading cause of hockey related depression. We overhype the heck out of guys because TSN, Sportsnet, or a blog tells us about how amazing they are. We get analysis about how "Prospect McProspecty" was the steal of the 5th round because he was 5'9'' but scores in the Q.

Let. Them. Develop.
