nice knowing ya, Lilly.

 

[JackBurton]

Playing him is the best way to get his confidence back. Let's hope he doesn't ask for a trade.

 

[Volcanologist]

it's so stupid. this franchise can't draft, like at all...and they finally hit on a couple of non top picks, only to run them both out of town because the coach is an idiot.

 

[zeke]

This team is so in denial about concussions its crazy.

 

[BG]

Uh, they've drafted a lot of NHL talent in the last 10 years, no?

Drafted (outside of the first round) and subsequently traded:

2012 - 6th round Connor Brown
2013 - 3rd round Carter Verhaege
2013 - 7th round Andreas Johnsson
2014 - 7th round Pierre Engvall
2015 - 2nd round Travis Dermott
2016 - 2nd round Carl Grundstrom
2018 - 2nd round Sean Durzi

I see a list of guys we didn't really give much of a chance to. Lilly is in that group.

No rush for ROR really.

As for Tim/Schenn... I'd still rather have Liljegren in but if I'm being honest, I kinda think he's sucked lately at least compared to usual. He's not really helping his cause.

Well that's a different argument than - the Leafs draft like shit.

Your argument is that they develop like shit.

Lets try this:

2012 - 6th round Connor Brown - 253 games as a Leaf, 110 as a Marlie
2013 - 3rd round Carter Verhaege - 2 games as a Marlie
2013 - 7th round Andreas Johnsson - 125 games as a Leaf, 129 as a Marlie
2014 - 7th round Pierre Engvall - 226 games as a Leaf, 94 as a Marlie
2015 - 2nd round Travis Dermott - 251 games as a Leaf, 87 as a Marlie
2016 - 2nd round Carl Grundstrom - 44 games as a Marlie
2018 - 2nd round Sean Durzi - traded before playing a game
2018 - 1st round Rasmus Sandin - 140 games as a Leaf, 66 games as a Marlie

They've gotta make it a priority to get Liljegren's game back though. It's like they just lost arguably their best d.. A true #2/3. They need to play him and put him in a position to succeed and IMO that is way more important than getting Luke Schenn in some games. Making Timmy a healthy doesn't help his or the teams cause I think.

 

[zeke]

RIP Lilly

 

[hockeylover]

He's already confirmed playing tomorrow, no?

 

[zeke]

RIP

 

[LeafGm]

RIP Lilly

The only way he’s going to play in the first round is if we have injuries.

Also gotta love that Timmins is permanently relegated to the press box pretty much no matter what.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

He'll play on the weekend.
