Mike Augello: Horton Still Hopeful To Resume His Career; Saturday News And Notes

Any habs roomers...?

Just like anything else, these are one man's opinions. The only opinion the Leafs should care about is Mark Hunter's. I look forward to what he plans to do once the first round is over.

won't do much in the second round

If Hunter is at the helm going into the draft then there's a good chance Marner will be chosen. He drafted Marner and convinced him to commit to the Knights after speculation that he would be going to the University of Michigan.

It doesn't matter who ranks the prospects where. It's only speculation until they're picked according to each team's own ranking. That's the only one that matters.

Edit: Those are the 30 that matter.

Button's list means little to me. does anyone else have Hanifan later than #4?

Button is trying too hard to be relevant, instead he looks clueless.

I would like to see the Leafs take Marner, but there is a good chance that Arizona will take him, with Domi & Marner familiar with each other.

Has he given any explanation as to why he ranked him so low?

Pronman has him at 5
ISS has him at 5
If we come out of the draft with him or Marner, I'm pumped.

Wouldn't be too upset with Strome, but definitely want one of the other two instead.

and dvorak.

That being said, rumour has it they're going with Strome.


Leafs need to find a way to get Carolina's pick if true. Would be amazing to come out of this draft with Marner AND Hanifin.

When does Button not completely (frank) up his draft rankings. He does this every year and then is completely silent when nothing he says pans out

Here is ample proof why Button isn't a GM in the NHL.

Pulkkinen and 2nd for Dion, no retained salary

Detroit has no 2nd... crap

I have a feeling the leafs will take Marner. Arizona should take Strome but who knows what their going to do.

Interesting but I think Detroit would have to send cap back to make it work.

I'd take Kindl but I doubt Babcock would. Pretty sure he hates the guy.

Tor-Kessel

Florida-11th overall pick,gudbranson,hyman

Tor-JVR

NJ-6th overall pick

Tor-Phaneuf 1.5mil retained, Tyler bosak 1 mil retained

Det-19th overall, Pulkinnen ,Weiss

Leafs draft:

Marner 4th overall
Hanifin/Provorov 6th overall
Barzal/Rantenan 11th overall
Nick Merkley/Kyle Connor 19th overall
Oliver Kylington 24th overall

I'm sure some will bash this.. But, I think these are realistic trades that I'm praying can happen in the next month. I know people don't want to retain any salary on players. To be honest, it won't matter because we will not need the salary for 4-5 years anyways

Weiss then.
