None of those guys will probably be at that level…And drafting Faksa at the fifth position, will most likely add to a prospect full of talented secondary talent.

Why not use one of them…And your fifth overall pick…To acaquire a player that has been compared to Marian Hossa or Ron Francis?

It makes perfect sense for me. Hell, LA traded more than Schenn and Simmonds for Mike Richards…But LA acquired a need and look at them now.

I really like him. And he would eventually add more spice to the Habs/Leafs clash.

He’s a very talented goalie. He’s a real goalie. one who uses talent, plus technique. Not just a blocker. He definitely needs to sharpen up, but, I think it would be nice to have a ultra competitive, confident guy back there.

Ya maybe too early for 19, but worthy of a high selection somewhere in the first two rounds.

Tanner Pearson or Matteau could be there too at 35. Thomas Wilson is also someone who Toronto could take at 19.

I’d personally shoot for a dman with the 2nd pick. I’d love to get one of Koekkoek or Ceci if they are available. Gaunce would be cool too though.

I’m not a fan of taking a goalie. I just don’t see value in taking them in the first round. I’d rather draft one late like we did with Sparks last year.

And I agree. If it’s bad, moderate it after, not before. It just slows stuff down. Moderate articles, fine. But not comments, until afterwards.

But to me, Forsberg is same as Faska and I rather have Faska just because he is a centre. and a big centre no less. And there isnt much point in picking him at 5 when he could possibly be had at 6-10.

The only time Murray makes sense if there are deals made already by Toronto to fill holes up front moving the likes of Schenn and Franson.

Murray would be an excellent replacement. He’s not a home run, but I could see him as a Seidenberg kind of player for the next 10 years. Or steady like Redden when he was a Sen. Thats not bad to have a consistent guy in your lineup.

But, the option of moving down, should the Russians be gone, is sensible.

Perhaps the 5th for the 10th and 19th picks of Tampa along with their 3rd rounder or a late 2nd could be a possibility.

I dont know if Faska would fall there, but Reinhart could be there at 10.

And Brendan Gaunce could be there at 19, Or they take a shot at Subban. Lots of options, hopefully BB explores them.

Hell, if we could trade back and grab Reinhart than, and maybe trade into the lower top ten and grab Faksa as well (or maybe early teens), I’d consider Draft 2012 a success. Of course if Galchenyuk/Grigorenko fall.

Censorship is fucked bad.
