That would be irresponsible. There are still 6 more rounds to go in the draft after the first.
- Mr. Shocky

actually round 2 to 7 are on Saturday

Stopped reading right there.... no point in going further. If you are writing a guy off cause he played ECHL, may I remind you that the man that just won the Conn Smyth played in the ECHL and the following year he split time in the A and the NHL and then went on to become the starter (last 3 years). LA is sure glad they didn't pass him over cause he played in the ECHL.

Disagree based on facts.

If Gally is your guy , and if Burke is confident that Schultz will sign there , would you consider a deal of Schenn and 5th Overall for 2nd, 31st and 95th?

Think Colombus would do it ? Could land Schenn and Reinhart/Reilly

Hell no, prospect quality from 5 to 2 doesn't warrant losing schenn for a second.

don't know but i know what i would do after this trade :

Draft Galchenyuk 2nd
Draft Oscar Dansk 31th

Send #35 and 95 + JML to Philly for JVR

I disagree to me Galchenyuk is the best player in the draft at a position of need so yes he deserve Schenn to move up

It's obvious that you have a man crush on him, but he isn't worth giving up anything significant to draft him.

To me its worth it , after the 15-20 picks , theres a boat load of guys who could go in the first round , use 31 to draft Oscar Dansk( Best goalie in Draft ) and Pearson at 35 if hes still there , scouts are calling him one of the purest finshers in the draft, and he has grit

Yeah sure like the leafs will win the cup without a number 1 center

Gally has to be their guy , no doubt . Center with decent size , amazing skill, awesome personality . A potential 70-80 point guy with the social skills to succeed in Toronto

or a number 1 dman, a number 1 goalie, and about 10 other pieces.

Yes!

If Luongo isn't in the plans use the later picks to draft a goalie, if he is in the plans then use the picks to trade for him.

Heck... I would do #5 + Schenn for #2 + #31 only.

That's what i keep saying but it's clear some leafs fans don't understand that

Leafs versus LA Kings

Grabo «««««« Kopitar
Connolly ««««««Richards
Lombardi «««««« Stoll

So we will not win a cup soon with that at center we just suck at that position only Grabo has potential the rest is other team wannabee

I wouldn't even rule out Grigorenko. Burke doesn't usually draft russians but has said that he loves his game , and implied that he will be drafting by posistion . He has the skill , I don't like him , but the kid clearly wants to prove the russian factor doesn't exist

Yeahh and schenn is what no more than a 3-4 d-man but the funny thing is

June 20th : You said Gally is not worth drafting him

June 22th : if the leafs draft him " OMG Galchenyuk is God we have our number one center of the future"

Bottom Line a True # 1 center never hits free agency or is unavailable via trade

So you draft them

Karlsson wins the Norris? I guess any regular schmuck can.

I don't trust Grigorenko at alll ...... if not Gally I would trade down with Tampa

and take Trouba + Vasilevski/Subban

This guy Just Major knee surgery, and only played a couple games and you think he's going to as good as those guys. Also, they traded for Stoll and Richards, and got lucky drafting kopitar.

Scratch Trouba, add Faksa/Gaunce.
