    one bémol

    Lafreniere is a complete winger, a rare one. But I agree with the rest, you either shop the first or a few forwards on your team

    And you guys are seeing dubois play right now, lafreniere is even better. By a lot. He is a winger that plays all over the ice. Dubois is a real center but they play the same style. Lafreniere just has more skill offensively

    My comparison for lafreniere would be Marian hossa, I also like the mark stone comparison. He is a complete player, not just a flashy guy.

    if I got a .7 or slightly better winger with the #1 overall pick I wouldn’t be very happy. If you’re taking a winger he better be Patrick Kane level

    i would take Marian hossa level in a heartbeat. But I get your point, it also depends on who is available in the same draft.

    I also think lafreniere will be better than hossa, he is just the same style of player that plays the whole sheet. Kane is just an offensive guy.

    yes if I could draft a first ballot hall of famer then yes I’d do it.

    theres one Marion Hossa. You can have a winger that doesn’t near a ppg if he’s a generationally great defensive player. Odds are lafreniere isn’t that good

    you jumped last year from 6 to 2 in what was though of as a 2 player draft at the top. You got your lotto win.

    Only way this could be better, is if they do last man standing and draw balls until there is only one left.

    Want this one. You won your lottery last year. But if it means Tor, Pitt or Edmonton won't get Laf then I am ok with that.

    Some very talented teams in this draft lottery. I’d prefer he go to the rangers or out west. I definitely don’t need the leafs strengthening more.

    He is 0 help to our team. Don’t get me wrong he is super talented. But we got to stop getting finesse and get some workhorses

    Their D is better than their goaltending. Nurse and Klefbom ain’t bad. Larsson is good middle pairing guy. Bear is promising.

    Rangers may take Byfield honestly.

    Already have Panarin, Kreider and Kakko long term. Who are their centers behind Zibanajad?

    The Rangers also sent out random social media and email marketing to fans today saying the future starts today. So that’s kinda shady too.

    To add to my earlier point

    I would still take Laf one. I am just saying that a flat cap the next few seasons, coupled with huge money invested in two wingers already would give me some pause.
