Look man are we getting Leon at 8 or what
- Bigzby

Probably not.

Probably not.

Where do you see him going? 3-5?

If you hate phanuef and think he's nothing more than a #6 dman don't read meltzer article.

Does anyone read his articles?

Or the Sens deal Spezza and sign Grabo and Kulemin. They re-unite and beat up on the Leafs 6 times / year. #fate

that would not be so funny

- Bigzby

6

Could have been worse, all these guys saying "OMG PICK RITCHIE OR TUCH BIG POWA FURWARD" seem to forget that in 2009 people wanted Kassian to get into the top-10 and even top-6 because he was "BIG PUWAR FURWARD."

People have hidden away from that one these days.

I hope they don't pick Ritchie Biggs. I'd like to see some talent, heart and brains with this pick.

If I had 6 feet tall center, picked 5th overall 20 year old center putting up 49 points in 37 AHL games and 18 in 37 in the NHL... I'd be pretty excited and wouldn't give him away.

ummm.. kadri has produced more than that

I hope to gawd they pick talent over size.

i think kuli is going get a contract he doesnt deserve truthfully
- Dozzer

Who in there right mind would overpay for a one time 30 goal scorer.... ohhhh wait

Ironically this also applies to kadri.
- burn

Aside from the age, the number of points, the draft rank (altough that one is close) and everything besides the height of the player, I agree.

- Dozzer

In the NHL, yes.

He's also a couple of years older.

- LeafsFan23

I honestly believe that if given full time top 6 and PP minutes he could score 20 regularly

In the NHL, yes.

he produced more when he was younger

kadri immediately gets short changed cause he's a leaf. sure there are flaws to his game but the kid can produce

many kids have "slumping seasons" in their second full year.. and kadri was still on a 50P pace with rotating linemates and playing within a system that is garbage truthfully.

he will have a ribeiro-esque career.. if the leafs move him their damned idiots

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 41s

Booth (VAN) and Leino (BUF) to be bought out

he produced more when he was younger

It's possible, but I think this is the best case scenario for him.

I'm going with the more conservative view that he's a 55-60 points per season guy who can play dirty. It's no shot at him really. No reason why the Leafs should get rid of him.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 35s

“@CanadiensMTL agree to terms on two-year extension for Dale Weise. DETAILS-> http://goha.bs/1r1FXNT pic.twitter.com/N7GdPFQDOM” $1M per yr.

Habs extend Weise to 2 years $1M AAV....take note Leafs...and they made the playoffs.

Kadri is Ribeiro.

Kadri is Ribeiro.
- AdamFrench

i agree.. they are almost identical players

Kadri played more games at the same stage Strome is at now and was called a bust because of how few games in the NHL he had played so far.... so there's that.


I don;'t even know what you're trying to pull here?? # of pts is very comparable.... Draft rank 2 apart (as you said it's close) and the heigh?? KAdri listed 6' 188, Strome listed 6'1" 188.


Why is one a bust and not worth keeping and the other one is a lock not to be traded??


Oh, yeah Leafs.

Neither one is a bust, I've made that pretty clear by now.
