Is it worth it though if boston wins the division and we get like 28-31th pick? Why cant we get goodies like the ottawa/san jose deal lol Much rather target a team like calgary who wont win the division,then root for them to fail 4 straight and get like 18th lol

Think elite goalies should be playing 60-65 games , if vasilevsky and price etc... aren’t now its because they’re injured. As for askarov i dont think he’d get that money right after his entry level contract if the teams still at the bottom Leafs just had no money left cause mr prodigy cant negotiate contracts and overpaid guys , dont even think anderson is getting that much money from what i remember , Mtl is just a f*** up and they have ton of unused cap space so they can afford a back up right now if they really wanted to np Or someone like tuomisto or johansen pans out (i recall hearing alot of scouts we’re praising us on landing johansson) + im sure we can land someone good at 32 ... yes im counting on us landing #1 haha , plus who knows maybe werenski comes home . I know once we start getting better we’ll be a more attractive option again to ufa’s Well i do know people said the same about knight last year and he dropped to 12 and people wont shut up about him now and if askarov is suppose to be as good or better id have no problem trading #4 to #7 taking him and landing another pick ... but like i said id one of the top 3 forwards now or even raymond over anyone else we can always pick up a goalie like daws in the 2nd or 3rd if we wanted to (i know he sucked at the world juniors but besides that hes been good) or someone else ... dont think we’ll be able to land another first to land askarov with cause if we get lucky enough to land one itll be in the 20-31 position

It wouldnt shock me , just think we’ll be way better than this season and might have to rely on those balls to not pick 6-7-8 i know we’re headed the right way sooner than most ppl think

Im not pretending we’ll be making the playoffs next season but i do think we’ll be way more competitive with all the young kids coming and hopefully yzerman can get rid of some bad contracts. Think we might have to rely winning a lottery pick to move up 3-4 spots to get in the top 3 Id say we’re gonna already be at 3 years of goodies when we add these 2 last drafts + this one coming up+ a few guys like hronek,smith,rasmussen prior drafts earlier. We’re headed in the right direction thats for sure

Where did mckenzie day this? In his new top 60 rankings? the days of paying goalies 10 mill a season should never have existed , id pay 8-8,5 max and i think teams wont be paying 10+ for goalies in the future , especially with scoring on its way up I think we’re well on our way to getting a good d core with drysdale or without , id only even consider him if we dropped to 4+ and for me thats not an option haha Anyways i dont wanna keep thinking anything else but #1 we deserve it after this mess + ive always believed the draft is rigged and cant see bettman allowing an original 6 team to further tumble down .. it’s our turn

Ya how sure are you on drysdale? Is he makar good ? Or like barrie? Big difference for me , i know we absolutely need an elite forward to join this team . Drysdale is like the only dman rated in what the top 10? For sure when we look back in this draft we’ll see dmen picked later on that will be just as good if not better As for the dmen i think we’re ok with seider,hronek,mcisaac in 2-3 years and hopefully we get lucky and one of tuomisto,johanssen pan out + haven’t given up on cholowski yet as some people seem to have + always our 2nd rounders to pick a dman, trade, ufa i think we’ll be ok As for goaltending sure we can pick up “good” goaltending as you put it , nothing great ...looking back in the wings recent history we won despite not having elite goaltending (we got hasek at the end of his career) If we actually got an elite goaltender this time around it would be a big + but id rather concentrate on the forward with our first pick and get the goalie and d later Anyways like krsmith said , im choosing to believe we wont drop 3 spots so theres no point talking about #4 till the draft results and jinxing ourselves . Im more looking ahead at prospects we can land in the second round with upside than doing my head in with whats a available at 4, less stressful that way

im gonna sleep like a baby on drysdale ... think in 2-3 years we’ll start being ok at d , we need elite forwards and an elite goalie and id prefer targetting those with our top pick , preferably a forward

Ya pass on drysdale for me , if anything worst comes to worst id be ok trading back a few spots and getting a franchise goalie in askarov to go along with seider+hronek and solidify our back end ,we can always go get another defender later like grans right now my mindset is #1 all the way but i have no intentions of dropping 3 f***en spots , i know its out of our hands but i wont allow myself to think that right now, all i know is we need an elite forward with our top pick this draft

Canes sent the leafs i think a 6th? Which is why we should have offered the 4th or even 3rd rounder , whatever to get it done . I would have done what needed to be done to make it happen , for whatever reason we lost out to a team thats opposed to wasting $ . Oh well You might be wrong but i just dont see it + if they want to add a kreider or some significant piece theyll need that 1st to make it happen. I mean if push comes to shove and we can land 2 2nds id still do it in a heartbeat , anything to add 1sts/2nds id obviously prefer a 1st but i just dont see it I meant for next season i know only now bruins can save 1 mill and im sure they’re being honourable to backes cause he’s a veteran and theres 30 games left but if hes still there and its game 1 and they say f*** off go to ahl and he refuses to go im sure they’d try and fight it to not get the number to count on the cap or something?Must be some rule if you demote a player and he refuses to go Anyways hope your right but again i dont see it , theyll need that first to trade to get that player back , from what i read they have no interest in moving their top 3 prosects

Lol i wanna be wrong but but i cant see it

It would be amazing but i highly doubt it happens , leafs we’re desperate for cap room to fill up the team and resign marner . Bruins will either buy him out or im not too sure what the rules are when they try and send a player down and they refuse to go? Must be some way out of it for them Best case scenario id say is we land a 2nd back or a 2nd + 3rd in another year , sadly i cant see us landing that first , we had our chance with the leafs marleau deal and should have offered a 3rd or 4th back but we blew it

Agreed , Like raymond/holtz as well leaning more towards raymond but id have no problem with askarov if push came to shove but id hope we would at least move back a spot or 2 and collect an extra pick. Think askarov +seider+hronek would be a great back end for the future Seen some people mention drysdale , id prefer the high end forward this year and if need be we can always trade up and get a helge grans or another dman if we think theyd be gone before we pick again i dont even wanna think 4th overall though as until the lottery happens im just focused on lafraniere

Think we’d still have to move up to get askarov but i wouldnt give a s*** if we had to toss in our 1st + 2nds if it meant we left the draft with lafraniere and askarov

How did this thread become so stupid and turn into the fabbri is better than anyone on our team no matter what you say if fabbri is our best player just relocate the team

2017 will be a much bigger regret trust me Your getting way ahead of yourself calling a player a bust because he didnt start the nhl at what 18? He just literally turned 20 a few months ago , id say thats a good start for a 6th overall pick ... i don’t know why your bringing the oilers into this (who have failed miserably and couldnt develop players for 15 years) From what i can see your just calling him a bust after 20 games for s***s and giggles I wouldnt even pay attention , he’s just starting s*** for the fun of it

Really? I think we’ll way more regret the 2017 draft and passing on necas,foote,brannstrom,valimaki Your just being ridiculous

Zadina 2 goals 1 assist , so long ahl

If we dont get the #1 pick we can always get the next best thing https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/450718/alex-laferriere

Never pay attention to a bald man

Well heres a shocker for you , stevie was wrong ... love stevie but doesnt mean i’ll blindly agree with every single move he’s going to make Being tossed around from team to team for 3 straight years should be a red flag from the get go. by your logic we might as well trade a 6th for nate thompson as i mentioned above , heck go trade our 5th as well and get sheahan back , years in the nhl compared to a draft pick who probably will play 0 games = us winning every single deal . Give me a break Perlini’s had chance after chance and couldnt stick around with any team and now he can barely crack the roster of one of the worst teams of all time and is headed out the door , and the league likely very soon , While a young dman (a position we’ve desperately needed help with since lidstrom retired ) is starting off his journey .You can recite any bs you’d like that to this day we won this trade blah blah blah but it would just be fiction done with this nonsense

Id say 11 , about as upset as you were we didn’t reclaim comrie

Ya i was an idiot for saying perlini didnt have upside day 1 cause the great krsmith says he did ... two seconds later .. it didnt workout , id say your the idiot Fabbri deal worked out cause i couldnt give two s***s about delrose as he was a goner anyways , hes done well but i still dont see much of a future for him in detroit in a few years .He started off red hot scoring like crazy but hes got like 2 goals in his last 20 and you can talk about assists all you want but his production will decrease when he drops even lower when we more guys next season so youll be using those kleenex’s for something else next season good idea ... yes im so upset by all the bulls*** you post , how will i sleep tonight

Yes NOW you say he might not be nothing more than a bottom 6 player cause he’s been absolute s*** (you were acting like i was f***en idiot though when we made the trade cause he had so much “upside” ) Dude your “facts” for defending guys like perlini are your excuses for him not succeeding while get this ... ignoring the “facts” of his failings . He’s been traded 3 times in 3 years , playing on the worst team in the league with 2 key guys out and yet not forced himself into getting significant ice time . And has scored literally 0 times . Maybe he’s just not that good? He’ll be a nice bottom 6 player in another league imagine that an ahl goalie has such high upside .... well then stfu and dont go on about him for 12 pages on other threads .Imagine giving me s*** for being pissed off we dealt a 19 yr old d prospect cause his only upside was a 3rd pairing guy and going on about a guy with zero goals and rambling on about a goalie no one gives a s*** about for what seemed like an eternity I saw that game ...its good for comrie he finally had a good game ... in the ahl , he’s found a home there Now been watchin tv and replying to this nonsense for the fun of it but im done talking about these s*** players

Get this ... we can get an ahl goalie ... wait for it ... at any time Ya you can read my mind now , id be so pissed off that we lost out on the great dominic turgeon lmao Blashill IS a f***en moron , but if your perlini was so good he wouldnt be on his 3rd team in 3 years fighting to get ice time on the worst team in the league who are also missing key players, if comrie had such high upside he’d be here and not being whored around from team to team and league to league You Just keep spewing your made up facts on garbage players and making excuses for their failures Not out of the question lmao LET IT GO man , you’ll feel so much better stop checking his ahl stats every few games to see how he’s doing youll be so much more at peace

Dude comrie has done literally nothing to suggest we missed out , went to winnipeg and waivers and unclaimed yet again . He’s an ahl goalie I couldnt care less about turgeon at this point as i see no future here with this logjam and his age and years in the ahl . Pearson would bother me cause hes basically starting off and hasnt had a crack . it makes me laugh that your bothered by these guys like comrie and perlini who are like close to mid 20s and been tossed around so many times and done f*** all and yet your like whatever f*** these 19 year old prospects cause chances are theyll be nothing (while your defending guys who are literally nothing ) if i ***** cause we lose a player on waivers its because i value any pick we can get cause i know with any of them it can turn out to be an important player in our future , sorry im not willing to part with any pick for some 4th line scrap player when we already have enough 4th line guys , if we deal the caps 2nd and got georgiev it would be more worth it as he’s being tossed aside by a better goalie and the king for example . Wouldnt be us picking up garbage we dont need dude who are you kidding you been making excuses nonstop , he hasnt got the opportunities maybe cause he hasnt deserved them?AA and mantha are hurt and it took him this long to get a look?maybe theres a reason hes been tossed around for 3 years , your blinded cause he was a “1st rounder” like 6 years ago . He’s got 0 goals , thats a fact . He’s destined for europe , you’d feel better if you just stopped fighting the inevitable
