That's pretty much it, yeah.
Leafs Draft 21st Overall - Overall Draft Order
- Thread starter L K
- Start date
That's pretty much it, yeah.

For everyone's reference:
Leafs are drafting:
21st (1st round)
51st (2nd round)
82nd (3rd round)
117th (4th round, via Anaheim)
142nd (5th round)
172nd (6th round)
202nd (7th round)
So yeah, all of the picks are their original ones, with the exception of the fourth round. Leafs original pick went to Nashville in the Franson trade...

I think that's what the original poster was getting at with "it's weird picking 21". It's only weird cause the Leafs had a good season and are actually picking 21 on the merit of their record, not "we had a terrible season and should be picking 9th overall but we traded it away". That year everyone was upset that we didn't have a first round pick at 9 when we should have.

Yeah, that's what I was driving at: in other years where we've picked late, it's because we got something else in a trade. This year, we're 21st and that's kind of it. It's that odd "so this is how the other half live" sort of feeling.

All I said was that it was 2 years since we picked there.

Well, drafting 21st I think the Leafs should gamble a little bit. Going safe way brings nothing - see the list of the players taken 21st few post above. Very unimpressive list. My approach would be high risk-high reward. My choice - if available - would be Valentin Zykov. He adapted unusually quickly to North American style, has traditional Russian puckhadling skill set but he is not shy to battle along the boards, or simply outmuscle the defender and get physical. He is neither pure sniper nor power forward but combines pretty well both. He scored 40goals in 67 games in Q and was quite impressive in playoffs in Q as well - cementing his work ethic reputation as many Russians sort of dissappear in playoffs, however, he did not. Many compare him to Johann Franzen of Detroit Red Wings.

There was an article in the Star today about the odds of success by pick #:
http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/2013/06/29/nhl_draft_its_all_guesswork_professor_says.html
"A top-10 pick works out 88 per cent of the time.
An 11-to-30 pick works out about 65 per cent of the time.
A pick in rounds 2 and 3 works out about 22 per cent of the time.
A pick in rounds 4 to 7 works out about 12 per cent of the time."
How they define "works out" is unclear but it's still somewhat interesting.
The article also speaks to the idea (myth) that Detroit is the "great late round chooser".
Based on a 65% chance of the pick "working out" (which likely means the player sees NHL games, though the amount of those in unclear), I'm not sure they should go too off the board, as I think there'll be good/decent players left.
Are they likely to find a 1st line player @ #21 in this draft? I kind of doubt it, but there's potential for solid 2nd liners, great 3rd liners and potential top pairing type D-men (depending on how many are drafted before the Leafs pick).
