I am getting a Canuck like vibe from the Leafs. They seem to be fast tracking a path to a black hole. I see them making a lot of dumb moves.
Yesterday’s word was Aquilini was willing to retain 3 mil just to get him off the books. I don’t know how much is true but from what I have heard was he wanted EP signed at any cost. Then blocked a trade to Carolina and now wants him gone.
Have you ever seen a NHl franchise with less lack of direction?
I say just draft talent, high ceiling talent, it’s not like this is gonna be the only draft near the bottom in the next few years.
I agree. It’s a top 3 pick. If you have an eye on character, don’t reach back for it from top 3. Trade down. But honestly, you have a shot on some high end talent sure to be an impact player, go for it. Otherwise how stupid does tanking look when you get into the top 3 and then take someone ranked 5/6/7 or later who has more red flags than others in his tier…
It comes down to Canucks scout rankings. Without knowing that we don’t know their BPA. As for me I’m find with any of Stenberg Reid or Carels at 3oa. If they covet anyone else then trade down. Not knocking Verhoeff or Bjork or Malhotra it’s imo the next tier. I really like Cullen & Hemming in the middle rounds along with Rudolph. The Rucks after them. Bleyl Mutryn early 2nd works for me.

Lol. You did the exact thing you’re criticizing. Jumping in from behind. But boys will be boys I suppose.
I like Verhoeff’s size, poise and his ability to get shots through bodies. Plus he’s just a good kid that is well spoken and seems like he has his shit together. Something you probably don’t fully understand.
Lol… I never jumped in from behind… I intercepted him face to face. The whole concept has you confused I guess… I mean you sympathize with the back jumper. Now just try and picture this… 2 guys in a fight… someone bursts out of the crowd and rushes in on your friend’s blindside… you have 2 seconds… do you drop him or have words with him? I drop him. You have words with him.
What are you going to sort out with a guy who is running at your friend in 2 seconds? He’s not even going to hear what you say… this is what I mean about you just imagining what a brawl is like. Nothing you say indicates any kind of reality in a situation like that. Stop pretending. It’s getting awkward.
