Pretty much swept the latter half of the draft and took nearly all the decent players.
While Boston didn't have the same efficiency, they walked away with Kessel, Lucic and Marchard from that draft. Geez.
To chime in on the main topic of this thread -- I can see the Leafs pulling this one out. Outside of being top heavy with the Staals, Semin and Skinner, I look at Carolina's roster and think of one big 'meh', especially with Ward not starting.
Right, but some of our best players - Frattin, Lupul, Reimer - are all out. They are pretty big losses imo. We don't have the depth to cover up all of them and we really have to keep up or we could fall quickly in the standings.
this just needs to be a time when the floodgates open for kessel, grabbo, kuly and some of the others that have not been performing particularly well lately.
