Not the way to "build"....Brian Burke proved that. Draft and develop is what teams like the Leafs should do. Those draft picks are too valuable.

Drouin is in today's warmup.

I think Stevie Y is pissing him off to play to his potential

Dudes skating, hockey sense and skills are sick though. During a non-stacked draft year he'd be viewed as a potential 1st overall pick.

If we could move up to 11 panthers spot we could potentially get Hannifin, Provorov or Merkely.

Edit. Werenski but Merkly would be ok as well

Biggest knock on Hanifin is lack of a big shot.

Benning has to make some big moves this year. I could not get excited about this years lineup even if they do add Corrado and Sven

If you're the best D in the draft you need a shot.

I think Richards an Mathias will walk for nothing. Weber is moved off the depth chart. Spots are open for the taking but these kids (young men) need to step up and play like men if they really want a chance on the team. I know I went with Shinkaruk as my dark horse last season to make the roster and I may go with him again. I want to see who comes to camp ready and hungrier than the rest. I will wait for camp and its in PG this year so I will get a good look.

I think Bieksa gets traded and they do bring in Franson for a mil more. I think Weber will be traded and Matthias and Richardson walk also.

It is hard to get excited about a vanilla D core. They are boring and soft. Now that they added Sbisa they are an adventure. It will be interesting to see his progress this year. He is basically the only one with a personality on the D line. Bieksa too somewhat but I hope he is gone
