it is amazing how quiet things got once Burke called Kadri’s name

I was chatting with God Till earlier today about this and, as I told him this afternoon, I didn’t think Burke could do much tonight because he really doesn’t have any assets to move.
I think we need to contextualize the draft, I haven’t seen any other teams moving up.

As someone mentioned in the other thread, this was a curious move up for De Haan. Guess Kulikov really scares a lot of teams.

Kim Jorn was wondering why on earth NYI would make a complex trade to acquire a pick, then again, to get a D they could have gotten with their original 2nd, and NO ONE at TSN noted it.

No other player deals.
Islanders have moved all sorts of picks
Here’s your top 11:
Tavares
Hedman
Duchene
Kane
Schenn
Ekmann-Larson
Kadri
Glennie
Cowen
MSP
Ellis

Just read up on the process that NYI went through to draft this kid at the 16? spot. It makes no sense.
And for the record, fuck the Kings mgmt. They could have had Kaberle and the #7 pick in trade for the #5. Morons and idiots.
But it doesn’t matter- both Tavares and Schenn 2.0 will be Leafs just as soon as their rookie contracts are up- you heard it here first.

Snow must have thought someone else wanted him between 12 and 16. An odd deal though.

Honestly, this is pathetic. Burke’s getting paid millions to make moves that my fictitious retarded cousin could’ve made
Yeah I dunno what Leaf fans have got to be upset about. Sure, there were no blockbuster trades done but as said before, no one else moved up either.
It wasn’t very exciting, but they can’t all be I guess.

Yep because things didn’t happen he must be sitting on his thumbs asking people “Have you seen my baseball???”
What if every team was asking for Schenn in part of a trade?

A bit harsh PHP.
Has there been a transaction at the draft that you’d have liked Burke to make?
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
he’s being paid millions to rebuild the team into a contender however best he can which is exactly what he’s doing
sorry to burst your bubble but only an overly optimistic Leaf fan would ever really believe Burke would be able to trade up

For Buffalo with Zach Kassian. However, I think he’s overrated, so not upset Leafs don’t pick him up.

Let them be upset. I can’t understand why Kassian was so needed for the Leafs. He’s a glorified Lucic and even Lucic had a superior Memorial Cup lead-up and offensive potential than Kassian.

The first thing Kadri should be eminently grateful to the Leafs for is that he was saved from being forced to play for the Sens for 4 or 5 years. That alone should be worth an allegiance change to the Leafs from the Habs.

Widely tagged to go to the Leafs at #7. Edgy with speed is the scouting report…

Really Leblanc? From where I’ve read, Leblanc went pretty much where he was anticipated..
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Red Line and TSM both had the Leafs taking him at 7, there was another one too (it was twittered, can’t remember now…)
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
Ah, TSN, Hockeysfuture, NHL.com had Leblanc around this spot. Either way, he’s a good offensive prospect for the Habs at this spot. Probably afraid he was going to be picked a few spots earlier.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Bob McKenzie is the go-to guy, and he had him at 17. I find the NHL.com ones useless, but it will be interesting to go back and see how they did.
I tend to stay away from Hockey’s Future.
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
I don’t think McKeens had him that high either. Bottom line is, Leblanc was all over the map. Sort of like Simon Depres.

I sound like a major fanboy, but Anaheim is having a very nice draft. They end up with Ferraro or Shoreder, heck, even Depres, the Ducks are just reloading very nicely. Although it helps immensely when you have Getzlaf already on the team.

I’m stunned as to what one year of Pronger netted them. I’m not a fan of Lupul, but two first round picks and a prospect. That’s impressive.
Hopefully Kabs/Kubina can produce a similar return.

Wsh needs to draft a goalie, I know this, you know this, yet these commentators don’t
40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.
I’d love to see them draft a goalie as this is allegedly the worst year for goalies in a decade. None are expected to go until late in the 2nd round.
At Red Line Report we consider this to be perhaps the worst class of goaltenders we’ve seen in over a decade. The crop is lacking in both high-end quality and depth of talent, with no true blue-chippers and not a single prospect we would consider worthy of a first-round grade
.

This is a good year to be in the market for a goalie. Lots of supply, little competition.

I’m thinking the Leafs will target a defenceman, possibly using both second round picks to move up. But Drew Shore and Landon Ferraro are still left on the board and would be pleased with any of them, though unlikely.

tough to say, though if someone like Landon Ferraro falls to them that would be cool. Not sure where they pick in round 2 though.

both picks are in the 50s I think. Too low for me to even guess as to who they’ll take.
