If I were the leafs right now I would do anything to take that #3 from Arizona! Just watched Dylan Strome on tsn saying he loved and watched the leafs growing up with his family every Saturday. Marner is the same way +best friends with Strome. Take Strome #3 and Marner #4... (frank) Hanifin... I want people that want to play in Toronto! People who are going to give effort!

Proposal to get this done !

Tor-Kessel,JVR,2015 1st (24th)

Ari- 2015 1st,2015 1st(30th),20161st(going to be in the playoffs...so late 1st)

Don't care what anything thinks about this btw

Love these draft debates. Is it close to 50/50 in here with regard to forward or defence at number 4?

So, a team that loses money at a rapid rate is gonna take on $12.25M per year?

Edit: that's just their cap hits.. Actually salary combined is $14.75M per

They HAVE TO!


(and because I don't think it's being picked up on... I am not being serious about team making a less than favourable trade to get to the floor)

Then I'm sure they would also like to trade their 2017 1st rounder for the rights to Eric Brewer, because a team like that can really benefit from a wily vet who has intangibles, and is good in the dressing room.

The argument is pure Franson.

If i was 18 from Toronto, lived there my whole life, played my junior hockey near home, id be begging to get drafted any where else.

ok...pick Ontario kids who can hockey.

That should minimize the risk of acquiring the DC's.

Whichever you take at 4, trade for another top 10 pick and pick the opposite.

So if you draft Hanifin at 4, do whatever you can to get Barzal. If you draft Marner/Strome, do what it takes to get Provorov.

Good guy at that spot, but I think it's also a timing thing, so D for me as well, but certainly won't be upset if it's one of the other 2 forward options if Hanny is gone.
