Sure that too, but 31st wouldn't hurt.

I'm actually hoping Columbus holds onto their second and we get it next year instead.

That would be a major bonus, wouldn't it be something to end up with 3 first's? Ours, SJ's and a trade, preferably in the 13-18 range. Just like Boston did, weak draft or not. JB would be in a real good spot.

There are no weak drafts. I don't know why people keep saying that. If you're good at scouting there are good prospects available.

I think I understand where the term and the misconception comes from. Its a weak draft if there's no star/generational player. So the term weak draft gets thrown out and then everyone latches on to it and suddenly every 17 yr old player on EARTH is $hit with a 3rd-4th line MAX ceiling. It's F&*king ludicrous!!!

Good draft to acquire picks then if you can.

I'm back...

my posting privileges were taken away for posting in the Leafs blog.

some people, leafs fans, who have posted regularly in the Nux forum have a real hate going for the Nux it seems, though they might not express it here...

same posters pressured the moderator over there to essentially ban me from posting in the Leafs blog. kind of a 'don't post here or else' situation it seems.

neways... suffice to say, I dislike the Leafs moreso now because of those fans than anything else...

did i tell you some leafs fan booed me at an airport in the US, cuz I had a Habs jersey on... some strange animals who think that's appropriate behaviour....

that narrative is really being pushed out of Toronto... since they got a player they compare on par to McDavid... (shakes head)

what else can the Nux give up to get more picks in this draft?

People say it's not deep, which is referring to cant miss prospects. Well we've taken two players in the top 10 in deep drafts that missed, so I don't really read much into that.

If you do the scouting, we will get some solid prospects no matter how deep it is.

Absolutely, we've been stock piling good prospects for a few years now.

But even that "not deep draft" argument is insane. It happens every year. Teams choose a Patrick White, he never plays a game and then David Perron gets picked right after him and has a decent career. Then in the later rounds, Subban, Simmonds, Martinez and Jamie Benn get picked. You never know where that stud or dud is gonna appear, scouts are wrong ALL THE TIME.

He murdered 3 people! Who gives a f*ck, let him rot.

Not a surprise tbh.

He appealed the murder charged, and now that he's dead he can't officially be charged with murder. So he's got that going for him, but he is still dead.

Ya no kidding, just saying they are thinking someone killed him. Either way....(frank) him!

He was charged and convicted of the first homicide but acquitted of the double homicide. He still a murderer.
