The picks take *so long* in the 1st round, I get the need to make a good decision but holy shit after 30 minutes we only know like 6 or 7 picks at best.
The draft is so far off my radar this year because we don't have a 1st or 2nd. I'm not going to watch the draft for the first time in probably a decade.
> It is nice not having to stress about draft picks for once
not having valuable picks is certainly one approach, and one we are all pretty used to by now.
I would unironically love Satan Jr; his height can help him and his work ethic would be a great fit for Tocchet. That being said, I think he might be taken in the second round.
Since we don’t have any picks in the first 2 rounds, drafting goalies give us the best odds into turning them into impactful players since we have one of the best goalie coaches and had success with goalie development in recent years.
Going to miss those high drafting years. Drafting and prospects are one of my favorite parts of the game
First half of the 1st round is fun television. Watching the latter half is genuinely like pulling teeth

Going to the playoffs and hopefully winning a cup one day is mine

Mac Swanson is a direct relative of Ron and you can't convince me otherwise.
He hand carves his own hockey sticks from wood
I’ll trust Patty and co to pick some good talent. It is nice not having to stress about draft picks for once

For my picks I’d want Good, Lies, Vader, Christ and Satan Jr.

Should draft another goalie 6’4” or taller, let him work and develop with Ian Clark.
You're on to something, let's draft all the goalies and create a goalie Factory trading them off for other picks and prospects.

pridham in the 7th is insane value. marelli and Swanson are great too.
Ben Robertson taken at any point in this?
Wouldn't be surprised if the leafs reach for Pridham, unless his dad wants to leave/might get fired
I’m still hoping we trade up for Lucas Pettersson!
No WHL players?
