Just a little over an hour until we learn TO picks fourth. But it will be with dignity.

Will this whisky be celebratory, or sorrow-drowning?

Although really, there is no loss here for the Leafs. The worst case scenario is they add a blue chip prospect to a bunch they already have, to be mentored by Shannaloucock. It's the greatest state of affairs for a Leafs fan since '67, even if they pick fourth.

I hope it is for celebration but I will not be in sorrow if we land the 2nd or 3rd. I hope luck is on our side this time around

4th is better than 2nd in the McDavid lottery..

Damn you bastard. We don't need jinxing, the least you could do is wish us good luck.

I don't even know the names of the 3-4 guys in the draft.

Aw man I think I'm gonna be really, really not legal to drive by that time. Actually not legal to walk down a public sidewalk.

No

Tanking just to miss out on a generational talent?


Thats a disappointment no matter how you slice it.. Eichel is a decent consolation prize but still..

Good day for you guys, guaranteed fourth or better. I would not mind you guys winning at all....if only we get #2 and can choose Laine.

Ok, a few points.

1. Sabres didn't tank. Garth has clearly stated that the first and only team to do so is the Leafs

2. I meant it talent wise.

3. Let's see what Garth says

Yeah, that's worse. Nobody's saying Matthews is the next Crosby or that kind of thing. I was pissed they went to this format the year the Leafs actually finished dead last, but on the other hand at least it is not in a year with 'generational' expectations. And in a year with a solid top 4.

We (frank)ing need to hit on an NHL all-star with Pittsburgh's pick though, that way we get ahead of the game.

Leafs did the right thing at the wrong time. Oh well, I think we've all been preparing for the worst so if it doesn't go the Leafs way, we'll all pretend we were fine with it because we all knew it was gonna happen anyway.

Thanks for rectifying that one. Laine will be dynamite next to Eichel.

You guys just tanked a year too late.

Believe me, we are quite happy with our consolation prize, the kid who probably would be #1 overall this year if it were his year.

Why? Just use it to marinade a cheap piece of beef or something.

I can't talk, I'd drink orange juice that had been sitting in the back of a toilet tank for a few weeks if I had to.

I'll be honest, if I really really needed a buzz, I'd drink Bud Light Lime.

What if they trade down, and that 1st rounder picks at 25ish, and that pick ends up being the best pick of the draft. Of course only knowing this via hindsight.
