So big D-Men, small forwards.

Toronto Maple Leafs ‏@MapleLeafs  35s36 seconds ago
With the 185th overall pick, the Maple #Leafs select Nikita Korostelev of the Sarnia Sting. #TMLtalk #TMLDraft

Another forward with massive offensive potential. Described as a stereotypical Russian though, not much defence there. Led a bad Sarnia Sting team in scoring with 53 points in 55 games. This one isn't a shrimp though, 6'2", 195 lbs.

 

[Highlander]

Man all these small forwards will be able to skate through the Defenses legs. What a strategy.

 

[Nik]

Well, it's not hard to see a pattern here. The Leafs went for skill and swinging for the fences. I'm alright with that.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That's it for the Leafs then. Not crazy about the Dermott and Nielsen picks but the Leafs really seemed to nail every single other one. Heck of a draft.

 

[Bullfrog]

Defenceman from MODO. Bergman pick so he'll probably be an all-star someday.

Tampa Bay will be thrilled.

:'(

Yeah, he turns one year into $25 Million, I swear some of these GM's should be wearing helmets.

4.35 I get, I suppose, but 6 years? Why in the world would you even come close to that?

Both Dubnyk and Hammond hit the lottery.  Both were close to not playing in the  NHL and now one gets 25 million and the other gets 4 million.

 

[Nik]

Interesting re: Dermott. I was tempted to ascribe his good offensive numbers to just playing with McDavid but apparently he had 14 points in 21 games without McDavid.

 

[sneakyray]

alright...I'll be the first to ask.

any guys go undrafted that the leafs could try to sign?  and that would be worth a look.

 

[Britishbulldog]

In years past, CTB, you used to make a thread for each pick.

I prefer separate threads, but I feel like most of the posters here have gotten used to talking about these types of days/events in a general post. Once we get more information about some of these picks maybe I'll shoot some off in the prospects board.

Looking forward to having the separate threads in the prospects board.  Thanks CTB.

The McDermott pick is the one that undermines the rest of it.
