Re: Leafs' Prospect Discussion Thread!
The Leafs better be burning up the Oilers' phone lines between April and June to try to pry that pick away.
This quote from MacTavish when he first took over as Oilers GM in the summer of 2013 comes to mind:
Thus far, in the two years since, he either hasn't worked up the courage to trade one of the Oilers' big young pieces, or he's simply not being offered the kind of return he'd want for them. So, if their top-5 pick this year isn't Connor McDavid, and with the team still having made no progress since he made that statement...what better opportunity than now to use the pick to do a "bold thing", and "move the team forward in a rapid fashion"?
