With the exception of 2017, the Leafs of recent times have pretty consistently had at least one player from the 3rd round or below make the NHL. Not sure how that compares to other teams, but it at least says the pick is far from worthless. This year they've had Abbruzzese, Hollowell, Kral, Holmberg and Woll play. All were taken by the Leafs in the 3rd round or below.

Engvall himself was a Leafs 7th round pick.

Leafs traded a 7th for a 3rd.  I love Engvall and wish him all the best but I gotta trust the process.

This one is much better (i.e. he had way more to say about Sandin's positives)

I mean it literally makes no sense. Either you let him walk or you don't. In this case they literally didn't let him walk. You can't ignore the return just because you think he's worth more. Its just such a ludicrous thought. I went to the store and bought an apple for a dollar, but I basically donated my dollar for free because I didn't get two. Like, are you joking?
