They play a different type of game, not comparable IMO...both bring needed elements to the table.

The prospects look good , but the vets suck big time. I think it is going to be a few years.
- VANTEL

a few?

thanks for the optimism... were doing the half rebuild again.

At least THAT kid has a father who was a good player in the league. Probably learned a thing or two at home about dealing with media.

For sure. Could you imagine the riots if McJesus landed in TO and 2 games in he had no points?

You don't recall how pi$$ed McCann was when he slid to 24? He was projected to be around what? 12 or so? McCann out of the gate looks to be a more skilled player.

He's a late 1st round steal!

im trying not to get hyped about prospects anymore.. but nylander has the 'look' when he has the puck.
- Lee Denault

Marner is the man. Patrick Kane. Minus the dynamic and minus the bullshlt

Nylander is a dreadfully lazy player. One of the worst I've seen. If they can fix that, hrs def got skill.

wont fly under babcock. he'll learn.. he'll have to

The key to a happy marriage is bigamy. When one pisses you off you just walk down the hallway.

What happens when you piss them both off and they start plotting against you?

I like big heavy teams.. i dont want to turn into the habs

Sure; however, you generally see the more skilled players chosen higher. Virtanen was a very SAFE pick.
- rugdnit

Virtanen was a much needed pick. We had skill with the Sedins. We had a weak forecheck and no grit as the playoffs showed.

I can't imagine how much press he'd get if he was a Leafs prospect. It's already beyond sickening.

Only a handful of CHL players scored more goals than Jake, he was ranked high for a reason, he's a finisher that plays a heavy game.

Coaches yelled at Yashin/Kovalev etc.

His family would have been taken hostage already.

I have hard enough time fitting the kids and one wife in the car. Need a damn bus to go camping with extra wives. Though the extra child care element is pretty appealing.

That has to be a concern. Kapenen and Nylander are tiny as well. You can have a couple small guys but everybody?

id have to leave hbuzz if we had of gotten mcdavid.. you know some TO fans would be calling for his head already.

id have to delete my account

I really hope you guys get Stamkos. Instead of grabbing other teams rejects it would be fitting to get a real good layer. Last one was Sundin. Devoted fans deserve a break

You know as well as we do you need a mix of both, but, you can't draft it all in one year. It'll come for the Leafs over a few drafts...three or four.

yeah, when you get x2 divorced and change the child care for support

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to exchange contracts in today's cap world, has to be done over time.
