The Leafs will be picking first, fifth or sixth in the draft depending on the lottery result tonight. Obviously, the likelihood is that we stay put at fifth (74.7%).There’s a 17.2% chance we fall further back to sixth.

Cross every limb and hope we can overcome 91.8% worth of odds. The lottery airs tonight at 8 p.m. on TSN.

    Something like that would work. Even Mac and a prospect that is close but expendable in managements opinion might work? Holzer, D’Amigo? Hard to say.

    The more information you have on something the more valid your opinion is, if someone else has seen him more than you then their opinion has more weight.

    Regardless of what Galileo would say.

    whats funny is that it seems galileo saw more because of his telescope so his opinion held more weight, no? Pent_House has seen more so shouldn’t his opinion hold more weight?

    I know but wasn’t sure if you picked up on the fact that his Galileo story works against him because of the “regardless of what Galileo would say” comment

    Hey guys, did any of you see what McLean said tonight about the leafs trading for EDMs first? He said he could see the leafs giving up gards for te pick… If any of you guys watched do you know if he meant straight up? I think he meant to move from 5-1 which would be the worst trade of all time.. Quite frankly this draft is a crapshoot and that gally
    could be just as good as yak. Don’t even know why I watch that dumbass McLean .. Just says the most tetarded things

    not saying your opinion is worthless. Feel free to share. Just saying that it’s okay to be wrong. If the guy has seen more of Kadri then maybe what you have seen has changed?

    Hmmm, there’s a difference between twenty years experience, and one years experience twenty times.

    Yep. The 5-spot is a little too far back to not get your guy picked off on you.

    Burke did look pissed when the first card opened was the Leafs.
