mostly rainy sadly..

but good reefer

Guy has bust written all over him, gut feeling. I would be disappointed if they draft him, take a risk on the explosive Ehlers if he is available or Virtanen.
- LeafMan

I keep hearing that lately. Even dropped in rankings. Would like Virtanen too actually.

I think Boyle would be great for Gardiner and Rielly, replaces Franson.

Phaneuf-Rielly
Boyle-Gardiner
Gunnarson-Blank.

So who plays D?

They have a cap penalty (carry over) next year on that deal.
- LeafMan

Ah...ok....where though? I'm on their team page for cap geek and see nothing? Maybe I'm not reading it right.

orr-mclaren as the third pairing

(frank) Perlini.

Fiala isn't ranked too high. Would you trade the pick down for a teams pick and a 2nd rounder and take Fiala ?

I'm curious who you think the Leafs should take at 8th and who you think they'll end up with. Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

Virtanen!
Unless they move up to top 3....Virtanen should be selected

Ehlers
Virtanen
Ritchie

Dang. I was hoping for a C with upside. Don't know anything about Ehlers so its Ritchie or Virtanen for me.

That'll change. Just take him at 8. Came into the Elitserien and dominated, was the best Swiss player at the U20's, best Swiss player at the U18's and one of the best overall in the tournament, playing in the WC's and looks great. Oddly enough if he had played all season he would have beaten out the Elitserien Rookie of the Year...our own Andreas Johnson

Here is a little write up about him

Ehlers is an explosive player who can beat even the quickest defensemen wide with his speed. He plays on his off wing and creates chances with sharp cuts to the middle complemented by an explosive wrister. He's equally good with the puck and can handle it both at top speed and in traffic.

You were right about Barkov so I'll take your word for it.

Nice thanks LM! This is what I don't like about the draft. I start wishing we had two picks..

Too much risk to take him that high.
