Around the NHL 2016-2017

They traded the last pick I the first round in a year where thy had the first ov pick and multiple second round picks

ok so what if our pick is 23rd in this shit draft?

I wouldn't do it. In a few years from now the leafs will have tough decisions to make with hyman brown gauthier, kapanen, will have to replace Martin and komarov, etc.

You need to have good young players ready to step in.

I think that in a capped world having picks In the first two rounds is essential for long term success

 

[zeke]

but we trade two of those for Andersen.

Yeah, I agree.

It may look like a shit draft, but that's what Hunter's here for. Making 4th & 1st overall picks is easy, comparatively.

Mediocre drafts, late 1st round picks and mid-round picks is where he'll really be earning his money for us.

 

[leafman101]

but we trade two of those for Andersen.

All the more reason to not do it again in back-to back years for a 40 year old.

 

[hockeylover]

but we trade two of those for Andersen.

So even more reason not to do it?

I see Leafman beat me to it.

 

[zeke]

I like Chara better.

 

[LeafGm]

I like Chara better.

The fact that you don't like Freddie Andersen doesn't make trading a 1st round pick for one year of a 39 year-old defenseman at this stage of the team's rebuild any better of an idea.

 

[Artnes]

We are we if we ran this season with Reimer and Chara?

Not one point out of 3rd in the Atlantic Im sure

 

[LeafOfFaith]

No to trading 1sts for geezers.

If you gotta get Chara, trade Carrick and a 2nd, or something like that.

As for the expansion draft, can't we just resign Hunwick or Polak to a cheap one year deal and leave them exposed?

What would that accomplish, exactly?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Isn't our issue not having enough guys to expose, or is it just forwards?

 

[LeafGm]

It's just the forwards we're short on at the moment.

You only need to expose one defenseman who's under contract for next year and has played either 40 games this year or 70 games over the past two years.

Either Connor Carrick or Martin Marincin will fit the bill for us there, and we'll have to expose at least one of them anyway (with Rielly & Gardiner being two of the three defensemen we can protect, and Zaitsev being exempt).

better.

reimer and andersen are a wash.
