I prefer my monsters to be furry, and sweet...

That's the deal when ya draft 18 yr olds.

Good times!

Any chance Veleno becomes our best player outta that draft?

I honestly don't see much happening in the form of a trade to move down the list...Every rival GM is thinking the same as Holland, and it'll probably cost way too much in order to make it happen. Again - that's just the pessimist in me.

As a pessimist to me there's no 'sure things'...I'd just assume stockpile our picks, and pick the best guy available.

That's on Bernier...He tapped the puck off of Witkowski's stick.

Wow - Cholo went thru puberty pretty quickly.

I love playing this on a daily basis...http://www.tankathon.com/nhl In your defense I've heard Brian Burke say numerous times that 'you'll never hit a home run unless you take a swing for the fence'. My opinion on the 2019 draft may very well change with the upcoming WJC...I'm looking forward to watching numerous draft potential players competing this Christmas.

Is Holland, or any GM willing to give up what it would take to land a top 5 pick? I dunno? Personally I'd welcome the idea of moving guys between now, and the deadline, and acquire more picks, and go from there...If we're still outta the playoffs - well we'll have a shot at moving up.

This is just my humble opinion for I don't know the vibe in the locker room, but..... I say be a seller - lets have a repeat of the 2018 draft. Holland can always re-sign Howard come July 1st. Nyquist is having his best year in...Well - it's his best year thus far...Makes for a good piece of trade bait if ya ask me. I respectfully disagree to the bold. There's numerous guys outside the top 10 that become great players at the NHL level, and numerous players taken in the very same top 10 that never do much...It's always a toss of the dice.

Talk about a polar opposite from last season...This time last year we looked like a glorified NCAA team...Now we're knocking on the playoff door.

This has got to be 1 of the more 'unique' seasons thus far since the implementation of the salary cap. So many teams underachieving, and a few such as our beloved Red Wings are doing better than expected. Conflicting emotions...Wants to see team win, and make the playoffs...Wants to see team have a winning record, but miss the playoffs by a few pts, and possibly get a top 10 pick.

And to top it off our future 'C' sealed the deal!

3.14 ?

How many shots do we have on goal this period?

Piss-poor passing, and zero effort in the Leafs end of the ice.

As expected .....

Indeed - however this current Red Wings squad seems considerably more capable than the previous few seasons.

This will end up an ugly loss...

Poop on a stick...Watch them get right back in this game...

C'mon boys - lets get'er goin!

Indeed. Nothing like seeing the sour faces of the Leaf fans who paid $500 plus to sit along the glass, and watch their team lose to one of the 'bottom feeders'.

Matthews made Kronwall looke like Ulf Samuelsson.

Looks like the Leafs enjoy smelling their own elitist farts...Apparently the Maple Leafs forgot to remind the Detroit Red Wings of such...
