It would be interesting to see who we draft if our pick falls out of the top 3. | Dubois or Nylander
I'm really not sold on Tkachuk and his numbers being inflated by Dvorak and Marner

QMJHL stats are inflated as hell with the high scoring and its probably the worst league in the CHL drafting wise.

The Leafs spend big money on contracts for Rielly and Kadri.
Hey Bouncing Bettys, does this news put a spring in your step?  Maple Leafs lock up Rielly, Kadri to six-year deals - Article - TSN
Maple Leafs lock up Rielly, Kadri to six-year deals
The Toronto Maple Leafs signed defenceman Morgan Rielly and forward Nazem Kadri to long-term deals on Wednesday.
Rielly signed a six-year, $5 million contract and Kadri inked a six-year, $4.5 million deal with the club.
Rielly led all Maple Leafs defencemen with a career-high 36 points while skating in all 82 games this year. Since entering the league in 2013-14, the 22-year-old has 19 goals and 73 assists in 236 regular season games.
Rielly was named to Team Canada’s roster for the 2016 IIHF World Championship earlier this week.
Kadri led the Maple Leafs with 17 goals and 28 assists in 76 games this season. In parts of seven NHL seasons, the 25-year-old has registered 81 goals and 116 assists and 207 penalty minutes in 326 regular season games.
The London, Ontario native was originally selected by the Maple Leafs with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft

Virtanen at 6 is still pretty good so far.
Dal colle hasn't done anything yet but virtanen is at least in the NHL.
Larkin should've went higher that year

eg. people were calling Horvat a bust because Nichuskin was in the NHL before him. Compare them now 
Dal Colle will probably (most likely) outscore Virtanen when he reaches the NHL | |

are the Canucks even going after him? I think he would be a great call since he's on a line with Brock but I haven't heard anything saying the Canucks are interested in him.

That said, I'd have 2 issues with this if I were a Leafs fan.
- He's become a rat. He dives, he takes cheap shots, and I can't stand his attitude.
- With Nylander, Marner, and possibly Matthews in the system, Kadri could very well find himself as an expensive bottom 6 centre very soon.

At 4.5 mill for 6 years it makes him fairly affordable if it comes to moving him, I like the signing personally. He plays with an edge and does embellish now and then but still has respectable production.

Larkin should've went higher that year | Dal Colle won a Memorial Cup last season, put up 80+ points for the 3rd straight season, and scored 18 points in 9 playoff games this season.
He's had an excellent OHL career.
You usually won't know what you've really got until 3-7 years after the draft.
Alex Pietrangelo, for example, played 2 more seasons in the OHL after his draft and many people were questioning if he was worthy of his draft position.
Meanwhile, Zach Bogosian and Luke Schenn stepped immediately into the NHL. While Pietrangelo was in the OHL, many people considered Bogosian and Schenn to be better than him. Obviously, Pietrangelo has turned out far better than both. Some would argue that Bogosian and Schenn were both hurt from being rushed into the NHL.

He already said on the Team 1040 yesterday that he's not going to do the whole 4 year college thing. I think this is a case of him winning the cup in his freshman year and going back to see if he can do a repeat while developing as a better player.
If anything, this should entice Drake Caggiula to sign with Vancouver since Stecher is signed and Boeser should be signed by next season.
