He's got Carter Hart up to 24. Would you pick a goalie with the 30/31 pick?
Yeah I mean assuming Hunter & co. don't see any red flags with Hart or one of the other top-ranked goalies I'd be going D/G with 30/31 for sure.
I'd almost prefer D/D at 30/31 and snag a goalie at the end of round 2 / beginning of round 3. Any goalie we'd chose in this draft is going to take too long to develop and be NHL ready when we are ready to start making serious noise (3-4 years). Goalies really are a crap-shoot. We need more Goalie prospects for sure, but I'd rather not spend a Top 50 pick on one.
Gotta say, its gonna be awesome to see the Leafs up at the podium SOOOOOO often! 8)
Too bad Pittsburgh is screwing us over with the pick they sent us as part of the Kessel trade!
They already screwed us over. Oh well. WE GOT 1ST OA!!!
Oh I know they have! Too made our management didn't anticipate this run to the Stanley Cup for them and have an upgrade clause added to the 3rd round pick.
Hindsight being 100%, it would have been nice to see that 3rd rounder upgraded to a 1st round pick if they won the cup with Kessel as a contributor to their success! Either that, or our 2016 2nd round pick was returned. Oh well, what's done, is done. Too bad we're also retaining salary on Kessel too!
