According to the leafs fans... Marner and Nylander are already superstars.

Good god. Matthews is more similar to Dylan Strome than he is to mcdavid. Stop the hype. He's good but he's not even close to mcdavid in any way. Size and weight? Cmon man. Irrelevant

2015 draft considered very strong. McDavid Eichel Hanifin are the only guys in the top 10 who played in the nhl the entire year.Rantanen played like 3 games with Colorado and got sent to the ahl cuz he was eligible. This year... the top 3 are nhl ready... the rest aren't close Provorov and Werenski are way better than Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi and even they didn't play a nhl game this past season.

Chychrun gonna drop to 12 13 14 probably. Juolevi and Sergachev will go before he does. He's not ready. Nobody after the top 3 picks are. Guys picked after the top 3 are at least 2 3 years away from being nhl ready. Massive drop after the top 3 in terms of being nhl ready.

Myers plus Dano/Armia/Burmi type of thing would be fair probably for 4.

Juolevi would be the guy I'd take. We need LHD. He's the best of them. Chychrun gonna fall to 12 13 14 I'll bet.

I'd rather just trade with Edmonton for pick 4. We don't need Hamonic unless both myers and enstrom are moved.

No. Stu is the worst d man in the league. Toughness? Cmon. Morrissey is way better than stu and it's not close. Toughness? You mean those big hits that lead to 2 on 1 and goals in the back of our net. Stu is not better than anyone. He is awful. Toughness is over rated. He's slow and can't keep up plus can't make a breakout pass. He's done as a nhl d man. No doubt about it. Jets could put him on waivers and he'd clear. Easily.

RNH and Eberle make 6 million a year. The 4th overall is cost controlled and exempt to an expansion draft. They will trade it.

I don't think buff gets any letter. He's the dressing room leader but probably doesn't need an A. Wheeler and Scheif are obvious. Not sure who the other A will be. Maybe a younger guy like Trouba. With Stu.. I really feel like, despite his contract, he's probably Moose bound and I think that's a good spot for him. He can show the kids what it takes to be a pro.

Edmonton will definitely trade 4. Toronto Jets and CBJ aren't trading their picks tho. No chance. Edmonton will guaranteed. Oilers don't need another young player. They will trade it to a team who offers them the best RHD they can get.

Connor is a LW. For some odd reason some sites have him listed as C but he's not .. he's a natural Left shooting LW. Connor Compher Motte LW C RW Morrissey is already better than Stu. Stu should probably be in the AHL and even then I think he struggles because he just lacks speed to keep up. Stuart has regressed lots and quite rapidly. Intangibles don't mean much when you struggle that bad. Lots of people thought Ladd was regressing also and perhaps he has but Stu, it's a really rapid decline. He's wasting a spot basically and he shouldn't be on a NHL team.

Then why like TUP said is malkin on the 3rd line. Why didn't kane and panarin play with Toews in Chicago. Bring it to the home team... why the hell did thorburn play with Ehlers half the year.

Laine or Puljujarvi is a win. You can't go wrong with either.

The possible expansion draft next June

Moose maybe to fine tune his O game.

Who knows tho. Maybe we take Puljujarvi lol.

Why is Ehlers Scheif Wheeler a better line combo over Connor Scheif Wheeler or Petan Scheif Wheeler Scheif and Wheeler are the dominant players. It don't matter who you put with them it seems. I think it make sense to put guys in positions they like. Connor is a legit LW. Prefers LW. He's a fit. Ehlers is a left shooter but prefers to play the right side. RW with Little is a good spot. Laine. If we take him is a right shooter who likes the lw spot. It makes lots of sense to have Laine little ehlers and Connor Scheif Wheeler

Maybe the Jets make a trade for Hamonic and then trade Myers or Enstrom for a pick. Then they protect Buff Trouba Hamonic. Myers plus Burmi to Edmonton for pick 4 would be nice. Take PLD. Hard to say but Edmonton looking to move that pick for RHD and I'm not sure that they would get a better one than myers

That's exactly it. It's to distribute the scoring among the lines. Connor is a goal scorer, putting him with Lowry is ridiculous and hurts his development, LOWRY couldn't keep up with Connor, Connor actually might be a faster skater than Ehlers. So you put him with Scheif and Wheeler since Connor is a natural LW Ehlers likes to play the right side, You take advantage of that and put him on the right side of Little, Laine likes to play left side, so you put him on Littles Left. It's not about which player is better or any of this, it's about having 2 strong lines who could come out there and dominate... It wasn't Ehlers and I liked the kid but you can put anyone with Scheif and Wheeler and they will dominate, Petan played with them and they dominated. The only time they didn't look good was when Stafford played with them. It's about distributing the scoring, it's about not putting all your eggs in one basket, It's about... Putting a goal scorer with speed to burn with 2 guys who got speed to burn. It's about using your talent to the best of their abilities.. Connor -Scheif - Wheeler would be legit Laine, Little, Ehlers would be legit too. Your bottom 6 becomes better because you put Perreault down there on the third line... Perreault - Petan - Armia. Lowry is on the 4th line cuz he's a big kid who really, besides being big and hitting, he doesn't bring much else, he doesn't score goals.. he doesn't set them up... Ideal 4th line that can go out there bang and grind and maybe pop a few... Lemieux,Lowry,Dano. Connor with Lowry? C'mon lol, that's just not even funny, Lowry is not the quickest guy in the world, Connor might be the quickest JET now. Why sandbag him with Lowry when you can let him excel with Scheif and Wheeler.

Oh yeah? You wanna play stafford on our top line for 90 percent of the season then? Cuz reality is Stempniak doesn't get that offer from any other team in the league. Guess what? When he moved to Boston, he sucked and Boston missed the playoffs. Stafford might get a 2nd. But not much more than that.

Connor - Scheif - Wheeler - 1 rookie Laine - Little - Ehlers - 1 rookie. Why is that so hard to understand? You play your best 6 in the top 6 and those are your best 6. We are a team building for the future, If Maurice doesn't play these guys in the top 6, Maurice won't be here in the future. Bottom Line really.

NHL. COM is generally wrong with these things actually. It's 22. Confirmed.

No. Ehlers shoots left. Laine shoots right. Ehlers off wing is the right side. Perreault - Scheif - Ehlers or no memory of that at all? Ehlers is a left handed shooting guy who prefers playing the RW Laine is a right handed shooter who prefers the Left side. Wheres Stafford? He doesn't fit the team anymore so he's traded or for all i care put on waivers and playing on the moose.

Lowry Better show up to camp in better shape than he was this past year then cuz I don't think, despite what Maurice says that he's a lock.
