2 weeks away

[Nick]

Our draft is June 1, correct?

[The BBKL Insider]

Yes i believe.

[Shoalzie]

Yup.

[Arian The Insider]

Everyone in the top 10 PM me who you're drafting so I know who's falling to me at 11, thx

[Lee]

Auston Matthews at 33

[lightupdadarkness]

I'm taking a goalie

[Lee]

In the top 10? That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

no need for PM I think.

I'm probably taking a Euro at #2

[The BBKL Insider]

Id post my top 12 (mock draft) but it may piss people off who own those picks.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Man, Matthews and Laine are having great world's... margin between the two is definitely a lot closer than it was a month ago before Laine's monster playoffs and this tourney. Don't think you can really go wrong with either guy, but I think leafs will stick with Matthews. Think these guys are similar to the Ovi-Malkin draft... just maybe a step below the quality of those two.

[kimmer]

Lol don't even hint at a lame possibility that leafs might draft laine. I mean what the fuck is the point in even saying shit like wow laine is close to Matthews than originally thought. Like are we gonna even consider changing to laine? No! Just keep that shit to urself god

[Arian The Insider]

We haven't had a #1C since Sundin

[The BBKL Insider]

I like Laine a lot, I may actually think he's a little bit more offensively talent. However, if the leafs draft him i'll be pissed. We need the big 1C more than anything else.

[Nick]

Matthews-Marner our Toews-Kane for years to come.



removes leaf blinders.....




ya story checks out.

[Lee]

Oh and Will Nye.

[kimmer]

Matthews should immediately start wearing #13

[Nick]

Oh and Will Nye.

let's assume no Stamkos or other UFA which IMO is unlikely, this lineup is still pretty exciting:

Leo - Kadri - Sosh*
JvR - Matthews - Marner
Greening - Nylander <-> Bozak
Michalek - Froese - Laich
*Hyman, Lindberg, Holland, ufa *

Hunwick - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
*soemeone* - Carrick


Like...it's not contending ready or something like that, but it should be exciting to follow. Matthews is the best player for USA at WC, I'm ready to knight him and start writing legends.

[bills09]

Lupul is under contract still

[bills09]

I'd love to see a Nylander Matthews Marner line in preseason
