So deepest draft in 10+ years and we have 5 picks in the top 52...Plus last year we nailed 2 top prospects in the 1st round alone. Not bad GM work there.

And he's a trade wizard to boot.

Again drinking at the beach, what'd I miss?

Love our draft just don't like that we passed on hunter but good job

Yes it is. Darcy Regier is incapable of making a good decision. You should know that by now.

wow

Only to play in the NHL. If he didnt make the team he wasn't going back to juniors he was going to the KHL. Too risky
- Stripes77

And he would've almost definitely NOT made the team. Good move by Darcy

Big move by the Leafs

Damn leafs are getting better and better

Leafs get Bolland. They aren't messing around

Wait, but per Garth I thought Bolland was a Sabre?!?!

I agree. Now Lindy will ruin him in Dallas and we can relax

Why trade for Bolland when we could pick guys that are 3-4 years if that away.

Draft is growing on me. We will have a physical, big, but mobile blueline. The forwards need to be addressed but if Armia and Girgensons turn out and Grigo and Hodgson are what they can be we have a solid core. Just an IMO

Our gm is a douche

how do you figure?

he is making moves for the team to be good 3 years from now

Bolland does not fit in the plan

Damn leafs are getting better and better

They are trying to compete for the cup. It makes sense.

Haven't most folks here been crying for a rebuild for about 3 months solid? Make up your minds.

Hurley is the top high school prospect in this draft class. He possesses many high-upside tools, and he could be 5-10 spots higher on my rankings if not for the conservatism I tend to apply to high school prospects. He is an above-average skater, arguably high end, with great speed and acceleration. He is a skilled individual with the puck as well, displaying a high level of creativity and playmaking vision. Hurley processes the game well, making quick reads. He can flourish when he is given space. He plays a decent power game, as he will muscle off checks and make power moves, but he could stand to gain some strength. One NHL scout says that he tends to play too much on the perimeter. He is certainly a player who a team may look towards for significant upside, but he will likely take a while to develop. He is committed to attend Notre Dame in the fall.
