You dont build from the draft when Mathews in his prime. You improve your current roster by any means neccesary. None of these picks will make a differance for atleast 4 years and thats if they hit.
@@nicholaswalls6212 you dont rebuild with a generational goal scorer in his prime on your roster. Just because Dubas failed doesnt mean the rule doesnt apply.
@@rona6063 mathews window has been closed. Do you see who the leafs gm is?? He has a horrible track record. He lets stars walk for nothing. Like blake wheeler in Arizona. He signs aging goalies to a stupid contract then rips apart the core for a few pucks and some used equipment like in Calgary. You obviously are a leafs fan. You expected a different result from treliving??? He sabotaged the leafs last year. Here is a boat load of 3rd pairing dmen. Now go win the cup.
I train college athletes and this pick for Danford is all on the upside good pick should have gone late in first good athletic composure and commitment good job Buds😊😊😊
Why draft a player to maybe play in your bottom pair? Maybe top 4 if you're lucky. Dime a dozen players that can be had in FA and can be acquired for a 3rd round pick at the deadline.
Guy has insane transition stats so him not putting up a ton of numbers means nothing to me. Could be a little thing king. Brett Pesce is everything goes right.
This is true but there is always a game plan for a franchise to aquire such young prospects. So I would not stress on this move. Only in historical speaking the top 5 of a draft are NHL ready. It is good to build depth especially if moving others out, be it the Leafs or Marlies
What a stupid pick, Solberg was right there and we decide to trade down and take a 3rd round "character" guy. Nuts to that Treliving has ruined every franchise he's had the reins of. This will be no different
What a stupid comment... Treliving, brought the entire Arizona staff, with him to Calgary, and then brought that same staff with him to Toronto... No... it is a totally different staff, AGM's, scouts etc. Pretty sure MLSE can get better than minimum wage staff, as well. Solberg is a LD. Danford is a RD with similiar stats. Both were ranked to go anywhere from 1st to 3rd round. So there is that. Plus they have an additional pick, you have no idea who it will be. Cowan was picked 28th last year and was ranked in the 50 range. I suppose you think that was a stupid pick too.
