I'd be happy with mostly any of those players. especially number 5 Interesting list. Top 6 looks pretty nice. If the draft goes in line with this list, and the Leafs finish around where they're predicted they'll end up with Schenn!!! I'd be happy. It would be nice if they could finish lower than 5, but if they don't and they get Schenn that's fine. Bill Watters on Leafs Lunch said that he worries that the Leafs will be higher than 5. He said he thinks that they aren't bad enough to finish in the top 4. That's not good news. I don't want to see a team bad enough to miss the playoffs but not bad enough to get top 4, AGAIN!!!! We need top pick to build the foundation. Average picks aren't going to get it done. |

I can't believe Fletcher is saying this!! I thought that these two guys were considered franchise guys buy the scouting services like ISS and CSB. Is he saying this so we don't our hopes up for a top pick?? Hopefully not!! www.thestar.com/Sports/Hockey/article/497898 |

Tavares is absolutely a franchise player IMO, but I think Fletcher might be downplaying him a bit is because he wants to set up the Toronto media for the possibility that Toronto takes Hedman if they landed the 1st overall.
Tavares has been shoved down our throats as the "Next One" since he was like 14.

Tavares has been shoved down our throats as the "Next One" since he was like 14. I think that both of those guys will be franchise players. It's weird that he'd say that. It'd be nice to snag one of them, but anywhere top 5 is fine by me. The higher the better though!!  |
