I swear to god, next person who suggests trading this pick is getting tossed in the lake.

Can we start talking about the fact that our top 6 to start the year is likely to be some combination of:

Nylander, Kadri, Matthews, Marner, JVR, Soshnikov

 

[Trolloc]

Matthews looks annoyed...or you know it's 3AM in the morning.

Likely recovery from thinking it could be Winnipeg.

 

[McGarnagle]

There's a dude running down my street screaming right now carrying a leafs flag.

 

[BrownRolo]

I didn't like Matthews post-draft interview. Trade him already.

The final ball drawn for the #leafs to secure the No. 1 pick was No. 13.

It is known.

I started to screen once Columbus had the 3rd overall. Since Edmonton was bumped 2 spots,  the only team that could do that at 2 was the Jets.

Is there anything Mats can't do?

Who gets most points out of that group? I think Kadri followed closely by Nylander.

Alexandre Daigle 2.0 on his way. LOL

Congrats, when my team was the worst team they lost out on Kane and ended up with some JVR kid.

JVR-Matthews-Marner
Komarov-Kadri-Soshnikov
Hyman-Nylander-Whatever
Laich-Gauthier-Michalek

Rielly-Vatanen
Gardiner-Marincin
Hunwick-???

Throw in some goaltending and maybe an interesting UFA or something and that's...that's an interesting start.

I would assume ??  would be Zaitsev. 

I mean it's not a playoff team in Year 1 (although stranger things have happened), but that's a team that I think I could comfortably find myself watching 82 games with.

Sure, him. Is that official or do they still need to wait or...
