My mid-range choices (4rders):
Modern defense-first mobile back
Like a left shot Mitch Marner (stylistically, he's physically much smaller than Marner at the moment) that got assigned a defense position instead of winger.

You can almost hear Bowen calling Topi lol..Both look interesting though and I would think one of them should be available to the Leafs later on.herman said:

I'm starting to get my heart set on Askarov. I just think at 15 he'd carry the highest possible ceiling of any player available. We'll see what happens I guess.

The divide on Braden Schneider is interesting. A lot of rankings have him in the mid-teens, while a number don't have him in the 1st round at all.
He's a bit of a safer pick - a big RHD who moves pretty well but doesn't have a great transition game. Probably tops out as a 2nd pairing type, but seems like a solid bet to at least be an NHL calibre d-man.

Seth Jarvis intrigues me, and seems like a prototypical Dubas player. Smaller centre at 5'10, but scored 42 goals and 98 points in the WHL this year, and is ranked anywhere from #11 to #29. Might be worth taking a chance on.

Me too. Is there any sense of any of the teams drafting ahead of the Leafs having big interest in a top goalie prospect?CarltonTheBear said:

I know RHD is the panacea of everything in the NHL these days but I'm really wary of using our first round picks on safe picks. I know we need a steady stream of prospects but he strikes me as more of a defensive version of a Gauthier kind of pick. Low ceiling player. Obviously a defenseman carries far more weight than a 3rd/4th line ceiling center but I'm not a big fan of that risk.
Heroic Shrimp said:
The 3 teams directly ahead of the Leafs are Florida, Carolina, and Edmonton. Florida just picked a goalie 13th overall last year so I doubt they do it again. Carolina seems like a team that could use a goalie prospect but Dundon once said the Canes will never take a defenceman in the 1st round because they want to focus on offence there... so I would imagine that makes it unlikely they look at a goalie. Edmonton picks right before Toronto and again seem like a team that could use a top goalie prospect, but Holland doesn't have much of a history picking goalies in the 1st or even 2nd round.

Yeah Jarvis was the skater that seems to jump out at me the most in that area.
Or New Jersey or Minnesota?
