Resemblance is just uncanny.
It's like they are twins.

A lot more intrigue with our pick this year, kinda fascinated to see what Hunter comes up with.

Would be amazing if Liljregren falls for no reason like Chychrun did last year. Kinda setting up that way.

That would make my offseason.

Yes sure hope so. I still don't get why and how Chychrun fell so much in draft.
I didn't watch him play a lot, so not sure how his rookie season was, but I do know he made the NHL rightaway, and managed to pickup 20 points as a 19 years old rookie.

1. a complete roster overhaul - only 3 players remain from 3yrs ago - Rielly, Kadri, Gardiner.
2. 4 top 10 picks without one miss - Matthews Marner Nylander Rielly all impact players already.
3. a clean cap situation with no crippling contracts to non-core player's. the only one close here is the Zaitsev contract which is a moderate caphit and may well end up good value yet.
4. targetting and getting the best UFA of the last decade.
5. only 2 players older than 28 on the roster - Marleau and hainsey - both complementary wily vet leaders on short term deals.
6. all sorts of good cheap depth both on the roster and on their championship AHL club.
7. salvaged the only good inherited talent - kadri and Gardiner - who were nearly ruined by previous management.
8. top tier coaching and management
pretty good rebuild there.

yeah it's gone near perfectly.
if we get any production at all out of our drafts, starting a couple years back and moving forward into the next 5-7 years, we're laughing.
also, I suspect now that the File may get another addition here before camp. I don't think the Leafs are done yet...Tavares didn't sign because Dubas told him they were going to sit on their hands after acquiring him. Whatever the plan is, JT is pretty enthused about it.

Thats what happens when a proper strategy is in place with good management
No bandaids , no bad signings , proper development of players , etc...
