Gags>Bozak
Rielly~>~Klefbom (close)
Khaira=Biggs

Same value. Khaira's NHLE was 23P. Biggs NHLE was 22P. Both 6'3. I'd say pretty close prospects.

Rielly beats out Klefbom in that he has the potential to be really good, but it's likely they both top out as top pairing guys IMO

geez, what was Yost thinking with this MDZ deal. 1 year of Hemsky and Grebeshkov for MDZ and a 2nd. Could get way more out of MDZ.

Although I do like
MDZ-Petry
Smid-J Schultz
Ference-Belov
Larsen/Potter

Lol.

he hasn't exactly progressed as planned since his draft year. Wasn't even a PPG in the OHL this year.

Last year Cloutier said Tyler Biggs is a guy you build your team around. I think he reads 6'3 and thinks he's s superstar

Looks like he progressed just fine to me...

Lol.

speak up you two. What exactly is it you're hating so much? The Khaira/Biggs comparison?

a first round pick in 2011 that wasn't even a PPG in 2013? Fringe 2nd line potential IMO

Klefbom is not equal to Reilly, not changing my opinion on that. And I don't really know anything about Khaira so I can't judge that one. Like literally nothing about him.

He was never drafted to be a first line player, like I said earlier there is nothing wrong with becoming a Clarkson, Clutterbuck or Ott type player. Those guys have value and I think that's more along the lines of what Leafs fans expect out of him.

Don't see what he's done to change that projection.

Prospect rankings have Klefbom as a better prospect than Nurse. Nurse and Rielly were both the 2nd picked D in their draft year, both ranked 5-9. I'd say Nurse, Klefbom, and Rielly are right around each other's ranks.

Don't have to convince you. You're a leaf fan. You don't want to hear it

I'm thinking if he's gonna be having 40+P seasons like Clarkson and Ott, he's gonna have to get a little more than 53P in the OHL on a team as good as Oshawa.

And I said he was a finished product when? Still developing obviously.

Morgan Rielly was drafted 5th and fell due to injury. How the hell was he ranked 5-9? He was a top 3 talent and us Leaf fans are lucky he dropped. Nurse and Klefbom aren't even Schenn quality prospects. Rielly is a notch above all of them.

TO fans were outraged when they took Rielly. Grigorenko, possibly TO's future 1C was available and tons of leafs fans were pissed.

Man oh man. I was being generous. The same offensive Dman who had 4P in 22 AHL games was a top 3 talent. That's a joke.

Klefbom with a whopping total of 7 points in 67 SEL games Across 3 seasons and has shown no progress whatsoever in that league now that's a joke
