That's nothing at all to get Stamkos. Of course it would need to be a very large truck. Maybe even a truck with pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great 8 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Laine is an unbelievable player and IMO Toronto should pick him #1 and if not Schieffle-Ehlers-Laine is gonna be one hell of a line in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Leafs could lure the Jets into swapping picks by leaking they are taking Laine, and what would their return (for that deceit) be?

Not an easy choice but a good problem to have. I'm confident it's a win win either way. But I suspect it would be difficult to pass on Tkachuk, seasoned in that London player factory. also with the playoffs he is having it would be hard for edmonton not to take if they keep the pick but lol that would be the worst move for them, the need everything besides top 6 forwards, they need: 1. 4 NHL defencemen 2. 3 Character veteran forwards that can play up and down the lineup - Hansen, Ladd, Burrows (2011 type) 3, An actual number 1 goalie. They may keep the pick and trade RNH but honestly, if there was a trade out there for a d man for rnh, it probably would have already happened.

He's got NHL size and can put up points without great line mates. I'm confused on whether Tkachucks numbers are inflated due to his line mates.

It's debatable, but you still have to be quite good to be able to put up those kind of numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually really shouldn't matter when assessing the quality of Tkachuk as a prospect. Scouts don't focus on point totals as much as how the player plays and what their skill set and attributes are. If Tkachuk had 20 less points on a worse team with worse line mates I believe he's still be in and around the same spot because he'd still be the same prospect.

That would be wonderful, but we ALL know it's not happening. Matthews Laine Puljujarvi Tkatchuk And then us. Sadly we miss out on the four sure top line guys.

aGENT Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I still like my 5th plus Sbisa for Severson, their 11th and their 2nd rounder proposal. Then draft any of the three D who've dropped or maybe Jost /Bean then Clague and Johansen with our two early 2nds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure fan Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I would be worried if someone trades up for Oilers 4th overall pick. Hearing that they are seriously considering offers for the pick.

Tkachuk is expected to go number 4 anyways so it's really not a loss at all, infact, if you told me, we will have a 5th pick after the 3rd consecutive win against the Cali teams (second last week of the season) I would have taken it and ran like the wind. We were destined for 8th or 9th, plus we decided to deploy Tanev during our tank. Dubois will be huge, he's like another Horvat with more offensive upside. Infact he is pretty much the Bo Horvat of this draft. the 200 foot player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for Tkachuk over Dubois. So hopefully Edmonton keeps there pick or the team that traded up takes someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
