I wouldn't pick Beaudoin first overall lol. I think you have to kind of look at what's not being said as much as what the reports do say, especially if it's an in-depth fluff piece. He has a very high floor, but the ceiling is unknown/estimated low given is relatively limited production.
If we can get into the second round of the draft, I'd probably take a run at Adam Kleber; I highly doubt he gets picked in Rd 1 (EJ Emery, Carter Yakemchuk, Dominik Badinka, Charlie Elick are also tall, mobile RD), but I don't see him lasting past Rd 3. NCAA commits might also get passed over due to the flight risk these days.

I've said elsewhere that reading the scouting reports every year always makes me wish we had at least five first round picks.

The Hockey News: Kings Shouldn't Entertain Re-Signing Matt Roy
One man's opinion but the more top 4 UFA right handed dmen on the market, the better the chances are that the Leafs get one or two of them.
I doubt he'll come to Toronto as he is an American with a young family.
But he seems to be the talent profile and ability of what the Leafs need so he'd be near the top of my list.

Sorry if it came across differently, but I posted that to add to your point about how good these prospects sound. Definitely think some of these scouts/writers could do well in marketing if they ever fancy a change of career!

Any chance Treliving does something outrageous like offering Bertuzzi a $4m/8-Years?

With any GM, there?s always a chance. I?d say it?s unlikely, though.

I'd much prefer this on a cheaper deal to the OEL rumours.

Nylander bros? Alex had 11 goals and 15 points in 23 games with Columbus this past season. Kinda surprised they wouldn't qualify him. Maybe they're afraid of arbitration... but why?

Thinking Reaves isn't playing game 1 lol (and most of the games after too).
