he's a whiny little bitch who demanded a trade like he's a superstar...but surprised they couldn't do something for him yesterday to at least upgrade somewhere. A conditional 5th is pretty much nothing and I don't even know Harrington.

 

I'd demand a trade if I was in a s*** org. like Columbus too. The Twins of the NHL.

Brooks, who might be the Leafs’ best-value pick, is given a 37.5% chance of making the NHL by DEV. The site compares his numbers to those of Nikita Kucherov, Derek Roy, and, jaw-droppingly, Claude Giroux.Yes, obviously this doesn’t mean Adam Brooks is going to be Claude Giroux. But it does highlight that a player of his calibre who improved like he has since his draft year should not have been overlooked.

Vladimir Bobylyov, who went 122nd, is given a chance just under 17% of making the NHL. His comparables are less impressive – B.J. Crombeen and Jay McClement – but hey, for a fifth-round pick that would be pretty good. His fair value range is somewhere between 71-82, according to DEV.

Jack Walker, the third CHL overager taken by Toronto, is tipped at a 13% chance of getting to the big leagues. He’s compared here to Casey Cizikas and Adam Henrique, and was valued in the 83-96 range.

All three of these players are effectively gambles – as are all other players taken late in the draft. In this case, though, they’re gambles backed up by some analytics. If Kyle Dubas was brought in to be the NHL’s Billy Beane, this draft might be one of the greatest examples of his mathematical strategy. The Leafs clearly noticed before anyone else that this was an underexploited area of drafting and scouting, and pounced on the inefficiency to take these “off the board” players.

He is very very good. The Oilers just got taken to the woodshed.

They should have traded RNH instead.

On the bright side there might be an Oilers fan that thinks they're getting Oliver Ekman-Larsson in that trade.
