    Fantasy Land Draft Idea

    Right now my laughable Leafs are only 6 points removed from being tied with Arizona. It's not inconceivable for the Leafs to lose out. Their current level of tank is even more impressive than the Sabres.

    So... here's my thought...

    we finish 30th and WIN the lottery. The Laughs finish 29th and get to select 2nd overall.

    We trade the Leafs the first pick overall in exchange for the 2nd pick overall, their late first round pick and Phil Kessel.

    Now before everyone goes all Phil and starts hacking at my ankles... Phil is an American. Eichel is an American. McDavid is built for Toronto and is Canadian.

    There is a synergy to this and I would consider it. A top line of Kane, Eichel and Kessel is more than intriguing. Follow that up with a second line of Ennis, ROR and Grigorenko and third line of Foligno, Girgensons and Gionta.

    GF yourself, you win the lottery and you keep the prize.

    You realize we have no right wing whatsoever on this team.

    We also don't have a real coach, that's where it starts when the season ends.

    I wouldn't hate this if it happened, but I really really really want Connor McDavid.

    Quit ass talking. One has nothing to do with the other right now. Look... we have no scoring down the right side. None.

    if we are able to still add a generational, first line, franchise player down the middle AND a RW who can lead the league in scoring at the same time AND getW an extra first round pick... and all you have to give up is a kid who looks right now like a future Hall-of-Famer... I think you consider it.

    then imagine a trade for ROR and a free agent signing of Frolik. A second line of Tyler Ennis, ROR and Frolik certainly sounds like a group that wouldn't struggle one iota with puck possession.

    Then imagine a third line of Foligno, Girgensons and Moulson.

    Then imagine a fourth line of Deslauriers, Larson and Gionta.

    then imagine Risto/Weber... Bogosian/Pysyck...

    Goalies are ****ing goalies and I hate them all so who cares, but the point remains... that's a playoff roster.

    No GM should ever entertain the idea of trading The rights to draft McDavid.

    Are you giving up Reinhart to get O'Reilly?

    Grigo might be this teams best option at RW depending on this summer.

    wouldnt be shocked if he does, honestly. but if they keep him and have to use him at RW over the course of the season, well, we will learn plenty.

    Re: Fantasy Land Draft Idea

    Here's another mental mastabatory creation...

    someone besides Arizona or Buffalo wins the lottery, forcing the Yotes into the 3rd overall pick slot. Darcy picks up the phone to call Murray, "Hey, Tankmaster Tim! How's that seat I kept warm for you doing? Just spit balling here... but we have 2/3rds of the line that dominated the 2015 WJCs... we're interested in that 3rd piece. Any chance you'd take our 3rd pick overall for Sam Reinhart?"

    How should Murray respond?

    Who do the Avs have on right wing? Coach Roy has been very high on Grigo
